itle: Knallhart Kennels and Chelsey Gupta: An Exceptional Dog (and Their Humans) Trainer My experience with Chelsey from Knallhart Kennels was nothing short of transformative for my family and our four-legged members.

Chelsey's approach to dog training is refreshingly honest and empathetic.

Instead of making lofty promises, she instills confidence in her abilities and her proven system. What sets Chelsey apart is her unwavering belief in herself and her methodology. Rather than relying on empty guarantees, she invests in her clients by offering continued guidance, direction, and support for the life of their dogs. This level of commitment is truly remarkable and speaks volumes about Chelsey's dedication to her craft and her clients. By emphasizing ongoing support and collaboration, Chelsey ensures that her clients feel empowered to continue their dogs' progress long after the Board & Train training sessions end.

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!
