Von Asgard K-9 Center

I toured a number of kennels in this area and choose Von Asgard K-9 Center to board and train my imported German Shepherd, ""Bodo"". Von Asgard was my first choice because of their professionalism and the vast experience they offer in training and handling European working dogs. \r \r I was not disappointed with my decision. When I picked up ""Bodo"" he looked great and I could tell that he really enjoyed his stay. Linda (the owner) and Don (a veteran trainer) explained and demonstrated the advanced training ""Bodo"" had received. They worked with me till I could handle him like a pro. Things came together quickly. Within 30 minutes, Bodo (with his new training) and I had become a team. I was totally impressed with the excellence of Bodo's training and the transition instruction I received. \r \r I am most happy to recommend Von Asgard K-9 Center to anyone who loves their dog and wants nothing but the best professional care and training. more

I took my dog to Von Asgard K-9 Center to get him under control. He was a 3 year old Standard American bull dog that was very aggressive to everyone, except my wife and myself. After speaking on the phone with the owner for over an hour I brought my dog, Charlie, in to get help. He was there about 3 weeks. I called them every couple of days to check on his progress. I t seemed to go slow at first, but then I called on the 7th day to hear good news. He was finally coming around and doing very well. When I came back to get Charlie he was like a totally different dog. He was happy to be around everybody that he came into contact with. He was happy and so am I. Mow I can take him everywhere with me and not have to worry about him biting everyone around me :) more

If you care about your dogs, AT ALL, do NOT bring them here!!! We brought our dogs here with high expectations and could not have been more disappointed when picking them up. Only upon pick up did we realize that the training method involved 100% exclusion from regular food with their whole dietary requirement being met solely from hot dogs upon performance. When we got home we realized that in addition to being poorly trained (the trainer couldn't even get them to do the commands) both had lost weight and were suffering from the results of their diet. We also discovered our dogs were infested with ticks which soon infested our whole home (ticks were climbing the walls within 10 minutes of the dogs being home!) requiring us to deal with weeks of intensive insect treatment. In a telephone conversation the proprietor agreed to reimburse us for the cost of the tick treatments however upon our submission of the invoices she has failed to do so.\r Their guarantee of being able to train the dogs is really meaningless since we would NEVER take our dogs here again and I beg that you don't either! \r more
