About Van Hendrix K9
Van Hendrix K-9 is a professional training facility dedicated to the training of canines for families, corporations and government entities. The successful training of dogs is accomplished through love, dedication and trust. Dogs are honest and don’t know and don’t understand the idea of “not loving unconditionally.” They give us an honest and perfect world. There is no bad breed. Bad dogs are created through negative human interventions. Hagen trained his first dog, a mutt, at the age of 6. Hagen’s ability and keen understanding of dogs was further strengthened in 1992, through the rescue of a nine-month-old German Shepherd, Alexander, from a shelter in Virginia.

Getting Theo from here was such a great experience. You can tell right away how much care and intention goes into raising their puppies. Theo came home already mostly potty trained, had a solid foundation with basic commands, and, honestly most impressive, he’s incredibly confident and comfortable in the world around him. That doesn’t happen by accident. They were also very communicative throughout the entire process, which made everything feel smooth and reassuring. And the fact that they genuinely want updates, pictures, and videos as he grows says a lot, it shows they truly care about these dogs beyond just placing them in homes. If you’re looking for someone who puts real time, effort, and heart into their puppies or dogs, this is absolutely a place I’d recommend.
We got our sweet puppy, Pokey, from Van Hendrix K-9 after they took in two Golden Retrievers and discovered one was pregnant. You could tell that although the litter was unexpected, the puppies were raised with intentional socialization and consideration. We had a great experience bringing him into our family and felt like we were set up for success to raise a great family dog!
We got our golden retriever oswald here! He is turning out so beautiful with a WONDERFUL temperament. They did whatever made me comfortable.They have an amazing facility! They have been so informative and helpful even after the adoption. I could never Thank you for our new fur baby enough 💙
