We did an 8 week board and train after our dog became reactive towards other dogs. Chelsey was incredibly supportive during the process and he’s a completely changed dog. He can finally be around other dogs and his general obedience around the house is so much better. Highly recommend especially for difficult, aggressive or reactive dogs. If you feel like other training hasn’t worked for you, you should give Knallhart a try!

Having a responsible breeder if Newfoundland’s is of utmost importance to me and Knallhart is absolutely dedicated to the preservation of the breed. Chelsey’s standards and thoroughness produced a litter that has made many families happy including mine. Not only did she work extensively ensuring the puppies were healthy but also which home would fit the personality and temperament of each puppy. We couldn’t be more happy with our boy, and he already knows how to sit at 10 weeks! He’s the warmth my heart was missing! Chelsey’s follow up and focus on a happy puppy home gives us comfort that we found a furry friend and breeder for life!
Chelsea runs a very organized and caring kennel. Can’t wait to see her completed addition, state of the art!!! Keep up the great work!!!

I dreamed of having a Newfoundland puppy for years, and from the very first conversation I had with Chelsey, I knew I had found the right breeder. The best part is that she just happened to be right under my nose, only 15 minutes from my home! Chelsey took the time to truly listen to what I wanted and needed in a puppy and handled every detail with so much care. She matched me with a puppy who fits me perfectly and has all of the characteristics I had hoped and dreamed of having. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better match. What means the most to me is knowing that choosing Chelsey wasn’t just about bringing home a puppy — it was about gaining lifelong support. Even in the short time I’ve had my puppy home, she has already been there to answer all of my questions, offer advice, and reassure me whenever I need it. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her puppies and the families they go to long after they leave her home. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Chelsey and the Knallhart team to anyone looking for a Newfoundland. She made a dream I had for years come true, and I’m so thankful that my puppy ended up with me exactly the way he did. ❤️
