Chaland K9, LLC is a dog training business founded by Angela Chamberlain, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with over 20 years of experience in dog training and breeding. Located in the Ozarks of Missouri, the business specializes in training Belgian Malinois and other high-drive breeds for working, sport, and companion roles. They offer private sessions, group classes, board and train programs, and seminars/workshops tailored to all ages and breeds. Their unique advantage lies in combining expert behavioral training with responsible breeding practices, including early neurological stimulation, structured socialization, and temperament testing from birth. Every puppy and dog receives individualized training plans based on their drive, temperament, and owner goals. They also provide puppy selection guidance, litter temperament testing, and lifelong support for clients. Their training philosophy emphasizes balance, positive reinforcement, and structured progression, with a strong focus on producing well-adjusted dogs for families, service roles, or competitive sports.

Angela holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology, a Master’s in Counseling, and is an AKC CGC evaluator, Farm Dog Judge, and Temperament Test Judge. She integrates scientific research and hands-on experience to inform her training methods. Clients receive comprehensive puppy packets with health records, pedigrees, training checklists, and access to local trainer referrals. Chaland K9 also offers working/sport/show puppies occasionally and requires all buyers to commit to ongoing training with a certified trainer or club.

The business does not sell puppies to those unwilling to train, ensuring dogs are placed in homes prepared for their needs. Their training programs are designed for puppies through senior dogs, with specialties in working dog development, obedience, protection, herding, scent work, and Canine Good Citizen preparation.

They provide board and train services for selected dogs and offer virtual resources and mentorship to clients nationwide.

Chaland K9 is not a general pet store or grooming service; their core focus is training and breeding high-quality, well-socialized dogs with proven working ability and stable temperaments.
