We've Moved!
In a day and age when the majority of businesses want to expand, increase profits, and build empires, Fidelity K9 wants to stay small.
The founder (Steve) never intended for Fidelity K9 to be a large company. He always envisioned he would stay connected to his customers and their dogs. However, the need has been so great that this has become a nearly impossible goal. We will continue to train great dogs but on a smaller, more manageable scale. Consequently, effective February 1, 2025, Fidelity K9 will be run entirely out of Steve’s family home. The training will be performed in the original space where it all began.
Unfortunately, as a part of this change we will no longer be able to offer grooming services. We will continue to do groom training in order to help great dogs have better, more relaxed grooming and veterinary care experiences.
Through the years we have held fast to our commitment, training thousands of great dogs. We’ve trained service dogs for military veterans, therapy dogs who work in hospitals and senior care facilities, protection and sport dogs, and countless family dogs.
Our new address is 5622 S. 185th street, Omaha, Ne 68135
