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.

I was lost, my Bella a chocolate lab was aggressive to other animals, for my last resort I called Van Hendrix. He transformed her totally. I loved all the trainer's. Come to find out us humans needed to understand, if we love our animals, then learn to speak their language, so they are able to live in our world happy. Thank you all. Marlene and Bella

My family recently adopted a German Shepherd from Van Hendrix K9, and she has absolutely changed their lives only within a week of having her. She needed a loving and caring home for some time now, but Hagen and his staff cared for her and gave her the attention as well as the training skills in the meantime. My sister was looking for an adult dog who would be a best fit for her current lifestyle, and I knew this dog was the perfect one as soon as I met her. I can’t give enough thanks to the staff for helping us tremendously through the process of rehoming her to us. They knew from the start that she would be a great fit for us. They are extremely knowledgeable and positive people who have a genuine passion for what they do. I highly recommend Van Hendrix K9 to anyone looking for training and/or puppies!!!
I've had dogs my entire life, the two most recent GSDs from Hagen and Van Hendrix K9, and I've known Hagen for 15 years. If there is such a thing as a dog whisperer, Hagen is it.

I've had dogs my entire life, the two most recent GSDs from Hagen and Van Hendrix K9, and I've known Hagen for 15 years. If there is such a thing as a dog whisperer, Hagen is it. I've never seen dogs respond to a human as well as they do Hagen (and his very capable staff!). He and his staff develop a relationship with them, understand them when they are solo or in a group, and are able to train the most aggressive animal to just the most stubborn. They truly care for all the dogs in their charge and it shows. In our case, he and the staff have always been there for us when we wanted quality insight, assistance or training for our two incredible German Shepherds, from puppy to full grown.
