About
Von Jäger K9 is a veteran owned and operated
K9 PROGRAM
The Von Jäger K9 training philosophy is based on techniques that were not merely learned from a course but discovered through actual handling experience. Donovan Hunter (Owner/Trainer) has over a decade of experience handling and training working dogs as a Military Special Operations Multipurpose K9 handler (US ARMY AIRBORNE RANGER, 75th RGR RGMT), a Narcotics K9 Interdiction Officer in one of the largest cities in the United States (Austin, Texas, Organized Crime Division/Street Narcotics), and the Head Trainer and Director of the once O-Gah-Pah Pride Kennel. To handle a K9 is the most fulfilling yet educational experience that a "dog person" can have. We understand that Mankind and Dogs have learned to coexist in a social setting - bonding as a "pack" naturally over time, but true obedience goes beyond just having a relationship "that works". Von Jäger obedience is the union between a dogs inherent drives and the behavior desired by its handler. Our goal is to establish the pet owner as a dog handler while not disturbing an appropriate coexistence between the two.
What's in a Name
The Von Jäger name most literally translates: "From Hunter" This translation was appropriately chosen because we stand by our service and the product our clients receive. Donovan Hunter puts his name on his brand.
If a client is asked:
"Where did this dog come from?"
"Who trained this dog?"
"Where did you get your training?"
The answer is simply...
FROM HUNTER.
