DOG WELFARE &

BEHAVIORAL WELLNESS

PROGRAMS

To resolve dog behavior issues, we MUST put welfare FIRST.

It is becoming increasingly clear that in order to really help our struggling dogs with their behavior issues, we humans need to make the shift from thinking that TRAINING will resolve the problems we are experiencing in the pet dog population

-To the realization that we need to FIRST & FOREMOST meet dogs’ needs - or we will not resolve the enormous escalation of dog behavior problems we are witnessing.

As a Licensed Family Dog Mediator®, Vivi is all too aware of this and talks about this on her podcast, The Dog Training Unplugged Podcast, as well as here on TDT’s website and on social media.

Thankfully, change is happening and dog training is evolving on so many levels already, but there is still a lot more legwork to be done - to bring change to the dog training and the pet industry as a collective.

The Dog Talker (TDT) has been offering successful Behavior Programs since 2022. While Vivi has continued to further develop these programs over time, the value both 2 and 4legged students come away with after completion remains the same. These programs have been nothing short of game changing and eye opening for TDT’s human clients - and have significantly improved the quality of life and welfare for their dogs (+themselves!)

Vivi has now made these programs even BETTER - with more support than ever before and including FREE membership to our Dog Life Navigation (DLN) Membership Club:

  • Investing in one of our DOG WELFARE PROGRAMS below gives you 2 months of FREE membership.

  • Investing in one of our ULTIMATE BEHAVIORAL WELLNESS PROGRAMS below gives you 4 months of FREE membership.

Getting an understanding your dog’s WHY

(WHO he really is and WHY he does what he does) before deciding HOW to help is critical!

Therefore, we need to take a deep dive into understanding your dog’s 4 LEGS = his Learning, Environment, Genetics & Self.

This assessment will help us figure out which of his 4 LEGS may be malfunctioning and WHAT we can do to help you & your dog navigate life better together.
