I have now known VONFIDEL K9 and Alfie for two years.
Since his initial puppy socialization stay my dog has been with VONFIDEL K9 numerous times.
When Alfie and the handler come to collect him, he just cannot wait to get into the VONFIDEL K9 jeep!
Every time he comes home his manners have improved, Bull Terriers are notoriously stubborn and difficult to train and so clearly Alfie and his team are exceptionally good at their job.
I cannot imagine owning a dog in Sri Lanka without VONFIDEL K9. Alfie is always ready to help and advise, and more importantly never lets me down.
Alfie's help goes beyond just dog training. He also offers support in matters such as nutrition and health problems and of course he trains the dog's owner as well.
I have absolute faith in Alfie and his team!
