Reviews of Knallhart Kennels & Training Academy
"We are so glad we made the decision to have our dog Atlas train at Knallhart. Atlas is so much calmer and settled now that he understands what is expected of him. In addition, Chelsey made sure that we had the tools, knowledge and techniques we needed to help Atlas continue to grow and refine his skills now that he is home. He senses our confidence and responds accordingly. Thank you Knallhart."
"We have a large breed dog. He’s friendly, wouldn’t ever hurt a soul. He’s big though, very big.... His puppy -type behavior that is normal or typical wasn’t going to be acceptable. My wife, kids, and I brought him to puppy obedience classes at a local place. That didn’t work for the lunging and the crazy impulse control. A friend of a family member recommended Knallhart. What I can’t speak to is: price comparison. I don’t know if she is high, low, or in the ball park of her boarding / training services. She had our dog for about 6 weeks. It was scheduled for a 4 week, but due to scheduling issues the stay was extended. We received updates. The app that she has chosen Gingr, isn’t great, Doesn’t have much functionality on the owners end. I can overlook that because the updates came via text- with pictures and videos. Pickup was at a large outdoor department store that is dog friendly. She demonstrated a lot for us. She then oversaw how we walked with him. He came back to us MUCH different! Different in a better way. She very much has your dogs best interest in mind. She delivers on her promise to bring your dog back to you highly trained. Well done!"
"My wife and I got Billie a two year and half year old Newfoundland she was a breeder release for her size. She is in great health, calm, amazing with our kids, our 8 year old English Bulldog and Belgian Malinois (Service Dog). She has been adjusting very well at our home. Chelsey breeds amazing Newfoundlands and I was told about her from my Service Dog trainer. If you are looking for a Newfoundland with the right health, temperament, and a lover. You can not go wrong. Highly recommend!"
"Update-Sam continues to make huge strides. He has been muzzled but has had no big issues with people. Yeah! Previous1Our 4 year old Sam came to us in May 2023. He ran away from his previous owners had been on the run for 2 weeks He had a severely mangled left eye and wondered into our auto body shop. He was thin and tired. I immediately took him to the vet. The previous owners allowed us to keep him because he was not a good fit for them. My husband and I scheduled the eye removal surgery with the vet for the following week. During that week Sam was so passive and quiet at the shop. Customers could walk up to him and pet him. Then he had eye surgery and things changed. Our passive dog became a vicious, biting dog. He was still loveable to us but he bit 4 people in a few days. We could not keep him with this type of behavior and no animal shelter would take him with his biting history so we took him back to the vet and scheduled him to be euthanized. After an hour of dropping him off, I called the vet and asked him to postpone the procedure but to board him at the clinic. I spent the next few days doing a lot of research and finally came across KnallHart Academy. The price is not inexpensive but in line with all the other board/training programs. He went thru their 8 week program and his behavior is amazing. Chelsey diagnosed him with trauma prior to him coming to us, trauma due to with the eye removal and wasn't socialized enough. It was hard to drop him off knowing he would be gone 8 weeks but we hoped and pray it help him. We picked him up 2 days ago. After Chelsey and her team trained Sam it has been absolutely amazing. He walks in the yard without me holding a leash. He has been at the body shop and no problems at all. He is muzzled and will be for the foreseeable future to keep him and others safe. One thing I understood after seeing a ton of videos and reading articles on the internet is muzzles are not a bad thing. Actually too many people do not muzzle their dogs. Muzzling a dog is a responsible thing to do if there is any concerns. Muzzling a dog can actually calm them. Some people might say, "Why spend money on training if he still needs a muzzle" His behavior has been short of a miracle. He is so much calmer around strangers. It will take us time to trust Sam without the muzzle around people. It was terrifying to see him lung and bite people We do have an e-collar on him but seldom have had to push the stim button. In fact today I just push the "tone" button. He comes on command. Before he would run from us for the fun of it and would only come back when he was ready. The academy makes you do homework during the 8 week program. It is a lot of homework but I am glad I did it. The homework taught me about different collars, dog behavior, commands, etc. When we picked up Sam from Chelsea we meet at Scheels in Iowa City. My husband and I hid so Sam wouldn't see us and watched Chelsea walk Sam around the store full of customers and kids. Sam absolutely rocked it. She then taught us how to do a structure walk with him in the store. I still can't believe how well he behaved in the store. I will always remember the moment he entered the store looking relaxed. We will continue to train him but it is pretty simple to work it into our daily lives. We do simple things like sit, lay down and before we feed him. I give him a structed walk during the day at the auto body shop and then on the street. He gets walks during the day and early evening without me holding a leash and having him come back on command. The academy offers boarding services so we might do this when we are on a trip so they can check his progress. They also offer a "lifetime warranty" that includes answering our questions and meeting with us if we need to go over training issues. Sam still loves to play frisbee, have his belly rubbed, and play in the house. He is loveable and now much calmer around people. We can't thank Knallhart academy, Chelsey, and her team enough. We want to be Sam's forever home."
"It was a pleasure working with Chelsey at Knallhart. My boy Axel went through the 12 week program to become our school therapy dog. I had the opportunity to observe not only Axels progress but the progress of the other dogs in our district. She was able to meet them where they were and able to boost their strengths. Chelsey provided support as new habits or old habits resurfaced. Also, felt Chelsey loved my boy like her own and was confident in leaving him with her for the weeks needed to get his training. Axel is well loved and enjoys his position as a therapy dog"
