Since the 1990s, CHAAMP has proudly served communities throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.

​

Powered entirely by donations and volunteers, CHAAMP depends on the generosity of supporters to continue its mission. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster, or help spread awareness, there are many ways to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these incredible dogs.

​

We believe healthy relationships are built on two-way communication. Alaskan Malamutes learn best through fun, engaging, and rewarding activities, including Pattern Games developed by Leslie McDevitt. Like people, Malamutes experience big emotions and have individual preferences, fears, and motivations. We must listen and support them.

Bred to pull, hunt, and be active members of the family, Malamutes thrive when their natural instincts are understood and respected. Our team is passionate about the breed and committed to helping dogs and their families succeed together.

​We use positive reinforcement, including treats and everyday life rewards, to communicate and teach desired behaviors. By making learning enjoyable and rewarding, we help these remarkable dogs build confidence, trust, and lasting bonds with their people.
