Why people love us

I contacted Vivi after researching trainers/companies that focused more on dog behavior than pure training. After an initial consultation, we decided to go with her 8 week program to help us with our terrier who was a total embarrassment when walking him around "his" neighborhood. He barked at cars, hated people walking by, and went especially crazy if another dog walked by in the general vicinity. It was immediately apparent that Vivi has a real passion for her work! She helped us understand why Bogey was being so territorial and laid out a process for us to follow to to calm him down and alleviate the triggers making him go so berserk. Working with Vivi was a real pleasure - she works with both the dog and the owners/parents to address the undesired behavior without judgement, and documents the whole process with both pictures and a written plan so that you can refer back to them as needed. For these reasons, I highly recommend The Dog Talker LLC for dog training and behavior issues." - Debra W.

We have been a Great Dane family for many years and when our newest puppy exhibited some aggressive behavior we knew we needed help. In the past we have tried different types of training methods that never really made that big of a difference with our Danes and wanted to try a different approach with this puppy. Our work with Vivi has been a game changer! She helped us to recognize our puppy’s genetic make-up which allowed us to develop a whole new way of communicating with all of our Danes, in a way that best suited their learning abilities. Vivi has a wealth of knowledge and provides easy to comprehend resources that reinforce her teaching methods. We enjoyed each and every session working both in and outside our home and are thrilled with the results we were able to achieve. We recommend Vivi without hesitation. You won’t be disappointed!" - Janine M.

Vivi was wonderful and gave us valuable insight and helpful tools for understanding our new “bully breed” dog, JJ. We adopted JJ from a shelter and honestly, were surprised by his personality which was unlike any dog we’ve ever had before. In fact, without Vivian’s coaching we may not have been able to keep him. But now we have empathetic tools and a better understanding of what he needs to be happy (which makes us happy too!) This approach takes work on the human’s part, but it’s worth it!" - Lori N.
