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.

VONFIDEL K9 Philosophy of Dog Training
Trust is the Foundation. Clarity is the Language. Reliability is the Outcome.
At VONFIDEL K9, our philosophy is simple: A dog performs best when it feels safe, understood, and confident. For over 17 years, we have trained family companions, service dogs, and working dogs using research-backed, trust-based training frameworks that build reliability that holds under real-world pressure.
Every dog is an individual — with its own drives, temperament, strengths, and thresholds. So we do not use one-size-fits-all training. Instead, we design precision-built training plans that match the dog’s learning style and the handler’s lifestyle, ensuring progress that is stable, durable, and humane.
We focus on:

We focus on:

- Predictability and emotional safety (confidence precedes performance)
- Gradual, structured stress exposure (resilience without fear)
- Strengthening the handler–dog bond (because relationship is the real command system)

Reframing Canine Training in Sri Lanka
For many dog owners in Sri Lanka, especially in urban environments, traditional training methods have rarely addressed the real source of behavioral challenges — the relationship, environment, and communication system between dog and handler. At VONFIDEL K9, we go beyond techniques and commands. We design reliable behavior, grounded in clarity, trust, and structure.
We Don’t “Whisper.” We Listen.
Every dog has its own temperament, sensitivities, thresholds, and rhythm.
We begin by listening — to the dog and to the household environment around it.
From this, we build precise, individualized training plans that target root causes instead of symptoms, producing changes that hold under real-life conditions.
A Training Process Built Around Your Reality
Our work begins with a detailed assessment in your home or another environment familiar to your dog. This allows us to understand:
Transportation can be arranged discreetly and securely.
Upon completion, we conduct a structured handover session, ensuring that you — and anyone involved in the dog’s life — is confident, calm, and able to maintain what has been built.
Training is only effective when it transfers to the handler.
Support That Continues Beyond the Program
We do not “complete and walk away.”
We provide ongoing guidance and consultation, ensuring that progress is maintained, stress is minimized, and the relationship continues to strengthen over time.
Reliability is built through consistency, clarity, and support — not just sessions.
Excellence as a Standard
Our approach is guided by discipline, precision, and a genuine respect for the dog–handler partnership.
We do not chase quick results.
We build durable behavior, calm stability, and a bond that holds under pressure.
A dog who trusts performs because it chooses to.
