Make sure to get connected with Jeff. He & his wife run a friendly family owned business. They love dogs. They enjoy trainer together and working toward making sure your dog is being trained or staying safe. Thank you for caring for Madison!

Our 4 year old German Shepherd, Sherman did a 6 week board-and-train here with Jeff and WOW were we impressed with what he was able to accomplish during that time! Sherman had been having trouble with other dogs, anxiety that was at times uncontrollable, and fear and anxiety around water. After less than 2 weeks, Jeff had him relaxed right next to another German Shepherd who also had issued being calm around other dogs and jumping in the lake to swim out to me. We were SHOCKED at the progress he had made in such a short period of time. Sherman has been home with us for a little over a week now and we have been able to maintain his skills with Jeff's instructions and Sherman is so much happier! We can walk by other dogs on the street and he barely pays them any mind where as perviously he would have knocked us over.

We have had several other trainers work with Sherman and no one has come close to achieving the success that Jeff has. His gentle approach to training makes your dog fall in love with him and actually WANT to please him/you rather than fear based training.

Thank you Jeff for everything!!!

Thank you Jeff!! We dropped our 10 month old Cane Corso, Atlas for a 2 week board/train. We came back to a more disciplined and social dog. He deals better with other dogs and people without having a bad stranger anxiety attack. The facility is excellent and alot of room (large fenced in open grass yard) for dogs to run and play. Jeff took it upon himself to make sure Atlas was well taken cared of and communicated with us regularly on his progress and even face timing us to show progress. Great customer service!!

Could not be happier. This has been a great experience so far. I have taken my Australian Shepherd to train with Jeff the past few weeks and have noticed such a difference in My dogs behavior. He has had reactivity issues he has been working on and we were able to take him into stores this week and it went amazing!! The amount of progress made in such little time already has been so wonderful for our dog. We’re looking forward to where we go from here.

My family and I are very happy with the care and attention our standard size Berniedoodle Moose received at Von Miller kennel. Jeff the owner and trainer worked wonders with our 6 month old puppy during his board and stay. Moose is much more relaxed, obedient, and responsive to our direction. Jeff is a very patient trainer that gives you the tools you need to keep your dog on track when you return home. We are very happy with our experience and would highly recommend Jeff and his kennel for your dogs training.

From Martha and Michael. Jeff has been great with our puppy. He's done every thing he can to help us and was really able to demonstrate how much he does this for the love of dogs! He spends a great deal of time with the dogs and goes well out of his way to share his knowledge. Greatly appreciate the effort he is putting towards our puppy and cannot wait to see the results!!

Jeffrey Miller is the best dog trainer I have ever met! I adopted my 5th doberman back in November, he was only 18 months and he was a handful. I found Jeffrey's website and saw that he was very familiar with dobermans and he also breeds them. By speaking with him several times, I got a strong feeling that he knew what he was talking about regarding training.

I brought my dog to him for a 6 week board and train. I must admit I was quite ? nervous at first and I really didn't want to leave my dog with him for that length of time. However, every time I went to see my dog, Rex, at Jeffrey's training facility I could see that Rex really loved Jeffrey and he was well taken care of ❤.

I am so thankful to Jeffrey for training my dog and being so patient with me through the entire process. He has even been to my home to help me with certain issues. Rex and I consider Jeffrey as a dear friend now and I know I can always call him with any questions or concerns I might have.

If you are looking for a dog-trainer, look no further, call Jeffrey. You will not be disappointed.

I have been trying to get my $1500 deposit back from Jeff after I found another place that is better for my dog. I met with Jeff for a consult back on June 12. After the end of our consult, I gave Jeff a $1500 check deposit "to hold a spot - because [Jeff] is booking out quickly...", the standard sales pitch. I never signed a contract and we never set a specific date. Then about a week later I had a consult with another company that would not keep my dog in a crate all day (and only out for training). I sent an email to Jeff (Northshore K-9/Vonmiller Kennels) on June 27 requesting a refund of my deposit, less the consult fee, and then sent a follow up text on July 7 asking when I should expect my refund. All I get is radio silence from this guy.
I don't understand how an officer of the law thinks it's okay to keep my deposit - isn't that against the law-especially since no contract was signed? Jeff, you need to do the honorable thing and refund money you have not earned.
