About Loving Dog Training

Hello I have been training dogs for 8 years! I specialize in Puppies, Reactivity, Behavioral Disorders, and Service Dog Training. Check out my website for more information on my training techniques and how to work with me. I am a force and fear free dog trainer that uses science based physiology to help improve your dogs undesired behaviors. I would love to help you and your dog. Whether you just got a new puppy and you are interested in my 6 week all in home private training program. Or you have an adult dog needing help with anything ranging from basic commands to improving a behavioral disorder. I am an AKC certified trainer who can help your dog pass their Canine Good Citizen test for therapy dogs or service dogs.

Viviana is amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is kind and patient, and my dog came to love her. I was impressed by her knowledge of developmental milestones. She helped me set reasonable expectations for his training at eight months of age. He made very impressive progress over the course of our six weeks working together. She gave me all of the tools. I need to move things forward. I am so glad I had the chance to meet and work with her.

Vivi is an amazing trainer! She is patient, kind, and so incredibly knowledgeable. She helped me so much with my puppy who was a little on the anxious side when I got him from the humane society. She didn’t just teach my pup, she taught me. He is so much more confident and has gained so many important skills in just 6 sessions with her! He knows all of the basic commands, is great at walking on leash and is already learning how to stay by my side for off leash. She helped me with crate training and separation anxiety, with stopping him from barking at my neighbors, and with how to have him settle and stay on his little mat for the ”place” command. Our puppy has warmed up to people so much through her tips on how to socialize him. Any worry or problem I faced with our dog, Vivi had a clear and effective answer and process for helping us. I really liked the way she explained the training processes step by step and taught me how to teach him through positive reinforcement training only. Made the process joyful for all involved. She was so patient with all of my questions, and was great with teaching my child as well when she participated in the sessions. Vivi explains things really clearly and always gave me notes after each session so I could practice on my own between sessions. Above all she is positive, kind, and amazing with dogs . My puppy loves her. I feel 100 times more confident as a dog mom now thanks to Vivi.

Viv is the real deal. We've been working with her for Ahsoka, our Staffordshire, and the difference in her behavior has been night and day. Viv shows up on time, every time, comes prepared, and genuinely cares about the dog and the owner. Her skills speak for themselves but what keeps us coming back is her attitude. She's patient, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. The pricing is fair for the quality you get. We're continuing training with her and wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
