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.

Vivi is an amazing teacher. We have a very high anxiety puppy who is a resource and attention hoarder. She has taught our family invaluable lessons about caring for and living with our beloved puppy intentionally with compassion. We took the 6-week course and plan to do further training with Vivi. Her sessions are packed with lessons and reinforcement practice. She focuses on the animal(s), the people and the environment and teaches a wholistic approach. We love working with Vivi and look forward to each week’s session.

Olive, my 20 week old golden doodle puppy and I completed @lovingdogtrainingllc 6 week private puppy training last weekend! Doodles are A LOT! But with Vivi’s gentle training techniques she gave myself and Olive the confidence to persevere and keep working on taming over active puppy energy…and teaching appropriate skills. Vivi is so patient and loving in her approach. Our biggest hurdle was crate training. Another was leash pulling…all of which we’ve overcome. We are still working on counter/table surfing, jumping and puppy biting while teething…but I’m confident that we will overcome these obstacles with the well researched information Vivi provided. What are you waiting for?! Look up @lovingdogtrainingllc ! View her awesome posts! And sign up today!!! Thank you Vivi! We ♥️you!!! Olive & Sandy

When we are working with Vivi, it feels like we are with family. It just makes everything much easier and more comfortable. She was born to be a dog trainer. What ever goals we have for our dog (Escobar) or whatever challenges we present her with, her methods are always spot on and effective. We tried several training options, before we found Loving Dog Training. Our search is over.
We are 100% satisfied and have complete confidence in Vivi. Reach out to Vivi at Loving Dog Training and get started. This review has the enthusiastic endorsement of Hawaii's one and only "Escobar"

I can’t say enough about Vivi and her training methods. She not only trained me, she trained my two puppies. Vivi is always available to answer questions and provide suggestions on how to help your puppy grow and improve. Her online scheduling is easy and flexible. My favorite times were on our field trips. Learning how to help my shy Lulu come out of her shell was the best. I highly recommend her. You won’t be disappointed, we aren’t.

I cannot recommend Vivi and Loving Dog Training enough. We have a very challenging reactive pup, and had tried other trainers with little improvement. Since starting to work with Vivi in January, we have seen huge improvements in our girl's reactivity. Vivi is patient and understanding with both the dogs and the humans, which we have struggled to find in a trainer before now! Thankful we finally found a force free trainer on Oahu!
