Buyer Beware. I bought my doberman from Jeff back in 2017. After a month of noticeable health issues with the dog, we discovered that the 6 month old doberman had kidney issues. When we called the breeder back regarding these concerns, he said there was nothing he could do.

When I expressed my concerns regarding my dog's behavior, Jeffrey was quick to boast about his 2-week board and train program. He was even quicker to inform me that I had to pay a $750 non-refundable deposit to hold a space for my dog.When we arrived at his location to see if it would be a good fit, he very briefly greeted me and did not seem interested in getting to know my dog that much. He did however talk my ear off about his home renovations and asked for my opinion about how everything looked. Not about his training facility. About his house. He then insisted that I pay the full $1500 fee before I even confirmed any decision. I thought I was being overdramatic about this first impression, so I paid the fee and left my dog for the program. I did not get any pictures or progress updates, and I asked if I could check up on my dog a few days into the program.I arrived for the checkup and immediately noticed my dog shaking in his crate, and skin missing from his nose. Jeffrey opened the crate and attached a leash to the prong collar. My dog excitedly ran to me and Jeffrey yanked on his leash with way too much force. Jeffrey also wanted to show me that he taught my dog how to sit (which he already knew). When my dog did not listen on the first command, Jeffrey pulled on his tail until he sat. I made a comment about not seeing any progress, to which Jeffrey responded that my dog will actually need an additional two weeks with him. Jeffrey then told me to practice the "heel" command while walking my dog through a set of cones, and made inappropriate comments to my boyfriend about my ethnicity. I ended up taking my dog home, not wanting to continue the program. Jeffrey did not offer a refund but said I could come back for another week if I wanted to since it was paid for already.As a result of this experience, my dog's anxiety worsened and he became very uninterested in food. In addition to the missing skin on his nose, he had blood marks around his neck. He only recently started getting better thanks to a lot of care, attention, and positive reinforcement. I would not recommend Jeffrey at Von Miller Kennels. He's a money-hungry creep who does not have the knowledge or skill set to properly train animals.

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.

Firstly, we did not get the pup we asked for. This puppy is HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE. We told him about our other two Shepards, and that they mingle with our free range chicken flock to keep fox at bay, even sending pictures. He clearly was not listening, had no recollection of our other dogs, or the pictures that were sent. He was so busy talking about his job, and not the business at hand. Our puppy came to us with SEVERE DAMAGE TO HIS EAR, which had obviously been glued together, and we didn't see just how bad it was, nearly 1/2" tear. When we brought that to Jeff's attention he blamed the transporter who drove our puppy up to Montana. Jeff sounded incensed over the injury saying, "this was totally avoidable, should never have happened". Yet, the only one between the two that would converse with us about it was the transporter. She has said that Jeff also had some inconsistencies with her, and would no longer be transporting for him in the future. The puppy will be extensively trained starting next week, all the way through scent titling. Be warned, Jeff has no integrity.

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.

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!!

I have been trying to get my $1500 deposit back from Jeff after I found a dog training place that was a better fit for my dog. I sent texts and emails to request this but all I get is radio silence from this guy. I never signed a contract and we never set a specific date. Jeff was more worried about getting my deposit "to hold a spot - because [Jeff] is booking out quickly...", the standard sales pitch. I gave him my check deposit after our consult appt ended - that was back on June 12. 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 @ Vonmiller Kennels has not returned my texts/emails since requesting the refund. You need to refund money you have not earned.

False advertising on a puppy. The dog was older than what he said it was. Wont return any phone calls regarding the dogs health. Says he guarantees dogs health for 2 years and wont call back when I left messages that the vet suspects hip dysplasia. Dog needs hip/spine /knees X-ray and he not backing it up

I do not recommend anyone doing business with Jeffrey Miller. The guy is a miserable human being and does not stop talking. I paid him 6x times what a typical stud fee would be and now he is unresponsive when I need his dogs lineage. He changed the stud fee on me twice. My personal experience doing business with this man has been awful. I highly recommend staying away from this man/business. He will want to show you all his gadgets and waste your time. On top of that he will talk to you about sexual matters that I'm not sure why he would share with anyone. My experience has been so awful I felt obligated to leave a review

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.Heather Kiely

0/10 This man thinks it okay to harass women and crack inappropriate jokes in the work place. It is 2021, officer Von Miller, it not acceptable to crack whips at women to "work faster" AND NO WHERE NEAR ACCEPTABLE TELLING SOMEONE IN THE WORK PLACE TO MASSAGE YOUR FAT A*** I will be filing a police report on this trash of a person. I do not recommend ever supporting this type of business attitude. #disgusting
