Have a question about our dog training services? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • Do you work with aggressive dogs?

    Yes! We work with any breed, size, or issue.

  • How are you different from other trainers?

    Fido Fidelis Dog Training takes a true custom, balanced approach to training your dog and you in our commitment-based training. No matter how long it takes, we do not give up.

  • What area do you cover?

    We service Northern and Central New Jersey as well as Southern New York. 

  • Can't I just learn to train my dog online?

    For basic training such as sit, paw, shake, etc., there are a lot of resources available online. The dogs we train require professional help. For some people (and dogs!), it is best to have a skilled guide through the training process. 

  • What if my dog already knows the basics and just needs help with some other behaviors?

    We know many of the owners we work with have already gone through various trainings. Our approach is to start every dog and owner at the beginning, in case something was missed in their previous training. You and your dog likely both need to learn how to communicate with each other, so we start by rebuilding your relationship. 

  • What training tools and methods do you use?

    We utilize treats, toys, praise, pets, e-collars, prong collars, and other tools to give you the safest, simplest, and most effective way to have a well-behaved and obedient dog for their entire life.  


    Through balance and posititive consequences for desired behaviors and negative consequences for undesired behaviors, dogs and owners are both held accountable for their actions and inactions.

  • Why do you use training collars?

    We use Sprenger prong collars and E-Collar Technologies e-collars because they're effective at communicating what is expected of the dog. Training collars have been proven to be effective and humane tools to train dogs and allow them to achieve a level of freedom that was previoulsy thought to be impossible. While the sensations provoked can be uncomfortable, these collars are safe to use. We even start by allowing owners to feel the sensations themselves to better understand how they work.

  • Do you work with multiple dog homes?

    Yes! Many of our customerse have two or more dogs present in the home.

  • I've been told that my dog is beyond help. Is that true?

    Not at all! Your dog probably doesn't know what they can and cannot do. We will help you bridge the gap in communication!
