“We reached out to Chelsey for help with our insecure and dog reactive dog, Penny. Chelsey responded quickly and instantly put me at ease. She was confident that Penny would be able to learn the skills she needed to learn life is not so scary. Penny went to Knallhart for the 8 week board and train program. We took advantage of the financing that was offered for the fee, that was huge for us. Week one we joined a group class at Knallhart and trained with a group of strange dogs and humans and Penny did great! She was very nervous but she wasn't reactive. It was so amazing to see that change is such a short time. In the weeks that followed I got updates, pictures and videos of Penny, including her walks with goats! I spent the time Penny was gone doing my homework, reading books and watching videos that Chelsey assigned. We trained at a dog park sitting while dogs came in and out of the dog park, Penny just sat there content. No reactivity. There was also a dog that was not on a leash in the parking lot that came right up to her and she didn't react. The last week we joined a community pack walk. Penny walked for a few miles in a huge group of strange dogs and she did wonderful. Penny came home with a whole new set of skills and tools. I also learned a ton about how I handle situations. That was not the end of training for Penny. We have Chelsey in our back pocket for any concerns for the rest of Penny's life. That is huge! I already have a meeting scheduled for a new situation that has come up. I highly recommend Chelsey and Knallhart. Chelsey is a kind, energetic, smart human who knows her dogs!!“
