Testimonials

Choosing Fido Fidelis Training was the best decision we have ever made for our dog, Brody, and our family. After struggling with severe separation anxiety, leash reactivity, poor recall, jumping, we were looking for a program that could provide real, lasting change–and Fido Fidelis delivered!

We opted for the Board & Train program and the transformation in Brody is truly remarkable. He is now a calm, confident, and obedient companion. He is even off some of his anxiety meds which is huge! We can finally enjoy leaving without worry, enjoy walks in busy parks, and trust his recall off-leash.

What sets Fido Fidelis apart is their dedication to training to the highest standard. Peter and his team don’t just train the dog; they expertly coach the owners. Our trainer took the time to explain the “why” behind every command, ensuring we felt confident continuing the work at home. The personalized training plan focused on Brody’s specific temperament and challenges, which is clearly why we got such quick and measurable results.

The team is professional, veteran-owned, and genuinely compassionate about animal welfare. We wholeheartedly recommend Fido Fidelis Training to any dog owner in the Northern NJ area looking for sustainable, life-changing results. Thank you for transforming Brody!

Peter at Fido Fidelis Dog Training is great! We had him train our 9-month-old Boxer Pit, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Peter’s professional, knowledgeable, and patient. He was also flexible with scheduling, which was a huge help. Something that stands out is that during our very first home evaluation, he gave us one simple tip that genuinely changed everything for us and our dog. We saw immediate improvements, and it lead to a successful training experience.

Definitely worth it! Plus, Peter was available over the phone and was incredibly responsive, which makes a huge difference when you have questions or need support. Highly recommend Peter!

We cannot say enough how great of an experience it has been working with Pete and Fido Fidelis. After interviewing a number of dog trainers, Pete was the only one who was direct, clear and outcome oriented. His balanced approach to training has turned my wife and I into significantly better dog owners, turned out already sweet pup Zadie into an off-leash dog we can now take hiking and has built up all 3 of our confidences in a way we never expected.

Thank you so much Pete and team, you were worth more than every penny.
