VONFIDEL K9

Professional Dog Training & Working Dog Authority

VONFIDEL K9 is a Sri Lanka–based professional dog training organization, working-dog behavioural authority, and selective canine development advisory practice. Founded in 2009, our work is defined by disciplined methodology, controlled environments, and professional accountability.

What We Do

We conduct residential dog training, behavioural rehabilitation, aggression resolution, and working-dog development for private estates, security deployments, and institutional environments. Our work includes structured temperament evaluation, advisory consultation, and full training cycles from intake to deployment or reintegration.

Over the course of continuous operation, we have developed and trained a substantial number of dogs across varied roles and environments, enabling consistency, judgment, and reliability under pressure.

What We Don’t Do

We do not offer casual, periodic, or convenience-based home training. Training outcomes depend on environmental control, consistency, and professional handling—conditions that cannot be achieved through intermittent visits or compromised structures.

  • No once-a-week or ad-hoc home sessions
  • No training constrained by reluctance to release the dog
  • No reward-dependency or fear-based compliance models

The Fidelity Method™

VONFIDEL K9 is the originator of the Fidelity Method™—a relational, results-driven training framework built on clarity, emotional regulation, and calm authority. Dogs trained through this method perform not out of fear or bribery, but through understanding, willingness, and reliability under pressure.

The Fidelity Method™

Founder & Continuity

VONFIDEL K9 was founded in 2009 by Alfie Ameer, a professional working-dog trainer and behavioural specialist. His work focuses on developing reliable dogs and handlers through structured environments, psychological clarity, and operational discipline. He is the originator of the Fidelity Method™.

Trust & Longevity

Operating continuously since inception, VONFIDEL K9 serves private owners, professional clients, and institutional environments with a focus on discretion, repeat engagement, and long-term reliability.

What Makes Us Unique
In Sri Lanka, dog owners have often faced limited options when it comes to addressing behavioral challenges. At Vonfidel K9, we understand that truly transforming a dog requires a deeper commitment of time, effort, and consistent interaction.

Traditional dog training methods have proven ineffective, especially for urban dog owners, where the trainer's sporadic visits and the environment itself can exacerbate the issues. We don’t believe in whispering to animals—our approach is rooted in the ability to listen and observe, which allows us to gain a sharp understanding of each dog’s unique temperament.

Led by Alfie, our founder and lead trainer, we provide personalized, hands-on training that addresses the individual needs of every dog, ensuring lasting transformation and building a strong bond between you and your pet.
