    I absolutely love Fidelis K9 Training in Orangevale California. I have learned so many basic obedience commands in a social and interactive environment with fantastic trainers that my dog has become quite calm and well mannered. The business model is fantastic because you don't have to sign up for anything you just come and go as your schedule allows for a set low monthly amount. The trainers and the owner really care about you and your dog and your success with your dog. There is is no question you can ask them that they cannot answer. I have found this to be a very supportive and helpful place to raise my golden retriever puppy.

    The dogs' first day.

    I wasn't sure what to expect bringing in my two German Shepherds, ages 5 and 3. Before signing up, I asked to meet with the staff, and they immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. I enrolled my dogs, and to my surprise, they showed progress on their walks almost right away. Antonio and Alejandra have been wonderful--they truly understand each dog's needs and work thoughtfully on their behaviors. I also receive daily training updates with photos, which I know I'll miss once the program ends! We're nearing the end of our 10-day training course and have recently started attending group sessions. Patrick and Antonio have been fantastic in helping us transition, making me feel at ease having my dogs around others and answering all of my questions along the way.

    Not sure what else I can say about Patrick and his team. We have been using them for a few years now with 3 of our German shepherds Our family has used them for many dogs as well. Night and day differences in behaviors and demeanor. Not only do they work with your dogs but they work with you to continue the progress away from the facility. Do not hesitate to build that relationship with your dogs!!! If you want that bond, you need Fidelis k9!!!!

    Little dogs need training too. Patrick and Brad are awesome. Kono trained with them at 6 months old and one and half years later all the training has stuck. Recently took a trip to Monterey and the hotel we stayed at was dog friendly. Walking through the lobby Kono was always by my side not acting up. But a lot of the other pups were not playing it cool especially the smaller ones where the owners just pick them up and coddle them. If you want a trained dog, especially a small one that you want to take anywhere Fidelis K9 can help.

    First couple minutes of meeting and our dog (Doberman) is already paying attention and eager to learn.

    Got an extremely energetic working Doberman and the walks just weren't doing it for him. After trying several different dog trainers we were recommended Fidelis K9. After following them on social media and doing some research we reached out for help. When Patrick came over with his dog Mila, our dog instantly had an energy shift. Patrick was kind and extremely understanding about our situation. We voiced that we had bad experiences with training previously and would like updates and we are overjoyed about the constant communication and updates. We feel confident in recommending Fidelis K9 to anyone we know.

    My dog Toby has been attending the SOF for 5 days now. I can't express how much this has helped him. He was a scared timid dog who didn't trust anyone and already in this short period of time he has opened up so much. I highly recommend taking your dog here for training , you won't regret it! The group classes are also very helpful.

    Trust building, I couldn't even touch his feet a month ago.

    I've been bringing my pup to Fidelis K9 for just over a month. My Doberman puppy Siren had become afraid of everything and needed a serious confidence boost. With the help of Patrick, Bradley, and all the members of the Fidelis family, Siren has gained so much confidence and really started to come into his own. We are excited to continue working towards accomplishing anything possible. We had met with other trainers in the area who were rather pretentious, but Fidelis has been warm and welcoming. Such a positive environment, and the members truly look out for each other. I could not be happier with the results at a very reasonable price.

    I have messaged Fidelis K9 regularly for the last 3 years since I originally heard about them asking for board and training. As soon as it was announced, I jumped at the opportunity to have them train my 2 dogs, Willow and Ellie. Within a day, I was getting videos and pictures of their progress. Patrick was as excited, if not more than me, at their progress. Seeing Willow and Ellie come out of their shells and start listening so well just affirmed that Fidelis K9 Training was the best choice, and I'm so happy with what they have been able to accomplish I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of training.

It's been a huge challenge finding a organization that utilizes positive force-free training. There are so many aspects that I love about the staff at Althea Canines! They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and very accessible to their students and pups. Both the staff and canine trainer- Christopher Hayes welcome new students with open arms. I love that Christopher makes training enjoyable and fun! He has a big heart and helps us students feel supported and takes the time to make sure we understand what our pets are trying to communicate so we can have a strong and respectful bond with our animals. Because of PTSD, I often struggle with anxiety, thus making it difficult to concentrate and absorb the material. Chris and the staff make sure that students are comfortable and always open to two-way communication. I can't say enough great things about Althea Canines! There is an array of training program options available depending on student needs, which is quite rare in nonprofit organizations. These folks are absolutely committed and so giving of their time and energy. I feel so blessed to have a training site and trainers that I can keep coming back to for support and education for both me and my service dog, Dawson.

After picking Jack up, I immediately noticed a difference in his behavior. Jack is now resource guarding his food and bed from his brother, which he has never done before and is overall super anxious. Jack lost a ton of weight during his stay and it was pretty clear he was not being fed because I could literally see his ribs and when he came home he inhaled his food and then some extra, even though he was allegedly fed right before he was picked up. Jack also had multiple bite marks on his face that were bleeding, one being next to his eye. Now his eyelid is swollen and puffy. I was not notified of any incidents where Jack was bitten. Overall, Jack did not appear happy or well taken care of when I picked him up. It is completely heartbreaking to leave your beloved pet at a facility, hoping he will be taken care of and picking up a scared, anxious, skinny and injured dog, completely opposite of the dog you dropped off.

I've watched her transform from a bit of a wild puppy into an (I might be biased here) absolutely perfect dog. We learned all basic commands including sit, down, come, loose leash walking etc., and have since gone onto more complex commands such as emergency recalls, staying with distractions, etc. Outside of teaching our puppy, I've also been able to shed many bad habits that I had in terms of training. The classes definitely have structure to them, but the trainers also allow enough flexibility where they're sure to address any issues that you're having, or will take time to focus on a specific command that you're interested in. I'll definitely continue our training here and wouldn't even consider going somewhere else. Liz is incredibly knowledgeable and great at what she does, our puppy loves going to class and makes a huge fuss when she greets her.

Vader (our pup) was a quick learner and we started the structure at home, but we wanted to help him out with extra training. So we reached out to Prestige K9, and the response was very quick and the phone call to discuss what we wanted out of training was refreshing. We had him boarded over Christmas and new years, even with the holidays the results show - Vader is very attentive, listens to his commands, and is still the fun field lab we dropped off! All of our friends and family are impressed, and we are now those dog owners where people ask "how did you do that" - prestige did it! Do note you still have to keep doing the stuff at home in your routine, but we are very impressed and I would like to note Javier and especially Ally for how well they worked with Vader. We did our first follow up with ally and she is great, she brought out her dog to help Vader train with distractions and they got to play a little. This is where you want to take your dog people! I put a pic of an update they sent us of Vader for Christmas, and a pic of Vader and ally's dog doing place. Thank you guys!

They have explained that their communication system will be updated and they have re-trained newer staff. They even refunded the cost of my vet bill to get my dog's injured paw looked at. I believe Prestige truly cares about their customers and dogs, and once changes are implemented, they will be a great boarding facility. I think K-9 Prestige has the potential to be good, but they really need to improve their communication and staff training. The initial phone call with Chelsea was positive and fairly informative about the boarding process. I called a week later to officially confirm the booking, and instead of having someone call me back to confirm over the phone, they sent me a text with a link to confirm the booking and pay the $100 deposit. I could've (and in hindsight, I should've) called again to get more information and ask more questions before officially confirming, but I had faith in the high reviews so I figured it would be okay. Three weeks later, I dropped my dog off in the evening. The man who greeted me didn't ask me any questions about my dog except for how much food he eats and if I wanted him to be walked around the property every day. I asked if that was an additional charge, and he told me it was not. I also mentioned that my dog could not get his ears wet during the bath at the end of the stay due to ear infection medicine, and the man told me that he would put it in the notes. He then proceeded to leash my dog and start walking him to the back room. I had to ask, "Is that it?" because he couldn't possibly just be walking away from me with no further information about my dog's five-day stay with them. At this point I had major red flags, but I was leaving on a trip the next day and really needed a place for my dog to stay. So once again, I figured I would have faith in the high reviews and trust that my dog would be safe with this company. Three days before I picked my dog up, I called to confirm that it was indeed put in the notes that my dog could not get his ears wet during the bath. When I called, no one answered the phone, and they didn't have a voicemail claiming to be Prestige K-9 (it was a generic voicemail message). I thought this was weird, so I didn't leave a message and figured I would try again in an hour or so. A little bit later, I got a text from the same number asking if I had reached anyone or if I still needed help. A text in response to a phone call is not really professional in my opinion, but I texted back in case they did not have someone readily available at all times to answer phone calls. When I brought up the fact that my dog could not get his ears wet, no one had any idea about this. They assured me it would be put in the notes this time. I also asked for an update to see how my dog was doing because he's a very nervous puppy and I think it's fair for a dog owner to want to know how their beloved pet is doing away from home. I was told that a message would be sent to the care team and that I would hear back from them. This was very strange, as I expected a direct line to the people who were actively taking care of my dog. Two days went by and I heard nothing. The morning I picked up my dog, I called early to triple check that he would not get his ears wet during the bath, and luckily this time they were aware. When I picked up my dog, I found out that the daily walks are actually an additional charge and that my dog was not walked, nor let out of the kennel run, the entire five days he stayed there. They also let me know he got a cut on one of his paws (which I later found out upon inspection was actually two separate cuts on two different toes). I understand injuries can happen with nervous dogs when staying in new places, but they didn't seem to do anything about the cuts and they were still bleeding a lot when I picked him up. They also wanted me to pay before I even saw my dog, which was ridiculous considering they couldn't give me any update on my dog's well being over the previous three days. The handle on the food scoop we left with his food also came back broken, which is not a big deal; it just adds fuel to my irritation with this whole experience. The team I checked out with were apologetic and professional, claiming they were having issues with their communication system between the office and the caretaking team and that the employee I checked in with was new. But when I'm putting my dog's life in the hands of strangers, technology issues and poor employee training CANNOT be an excuse for bad communication and misinformation. I believe the employees here do care about dogs, but until this company gets their act together, I will absolutely not be taking my dog back here.
