What Makes Us Unique
In Sri Lanka, dog owners have had limited options for addressing their challenges. We recognize that truly transforming a dog requires a deeper commitment of time and effort. Traditional methods have often proven inadequate and impractical for urban dog owners, particularly when trainers are occasional visitors and the home environment itself contributes to the problem. At VONFIDEL K9, we don’t whisper to animals; instead, we believe our ability to listen has sharpened our understanding of each dog’s unique temperament. This realization led us to develop a distinct approach that emphasizes personalized attention and ongoing relationships through consulting. From the very first phone call, our primary goal is to understand your specific challenges and identify their root causes. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we visit your home or the environment where your dog is present. This allows us to assess your dog’s temperament firsthand and discuss the difficulties you’re facing. Together, we determine the ideal scope of work required to achieve a successful transformation that not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Throughout this journey, we remain your dedicated consultants. Training takes place at our state-of-the-art facility, with transportation handled by our team of professional handlers. Upon completion, we return your fully trained dog and conduct a master training session for you and your household, ensuring proper knowledge transfer. But our service doesn’t stop there—our commitment extends beyond the training. We continue to support you as trusted consultants, providing ongoing guidance and assistance. At VONFIDEL K9, we understand the unique challenges faced by dog owners, and our mission is to go above and beyond to ensure your dog’s successful transformation.
