PumpkinPups Dog Training

 "I can't say enough good things about Viviane. She is a true professional. She put us completely at ease and was able to break down the training into very simple terms. She made everything seem like common sense. She has wonderful tactics, great techniques and is a natural with dogs.

With three daughters, Viviane assessed our situation and was able to adapt the training in accordance with our needs. Looking back,  Viviane didn't train our dog... She actually trained us! We are forever grateful."

 "I had forgotten just how challenging raising and training a puppy could be.  I felt that in addition to "training" Sunny, my husband and I needed support and encouragement not only to train her properly, but also to experience the joy of having a new 4-legged creature living with us.

As soon as Viviane came to our house to work with Sunny, we felt a sense of relief and joy.  Sunny immediately fell in love with her, and Viviane's response to Sunny made us love our puppy even more.

Viviane is a very generous, knowledgeable, and skillful trainer who has an instinctive understanding not only of the ways of the dog, but of the needs and personalities of their owners.

Working with Viviane we experienced an immediate positive change in the way we interact with our puppy, and in our confidence in training her."

"When our baby was born, our friendly little dog Fiona started acting out in some alarming and unexpected ways. Our sweet Wheaten Terrier started attacking pit bulls!

Viviane helped us first to recognize when Fiona was likely to get into trouble, and then to work with her on and off-leash so that now we can get control of her before trouble breaks out. She also gave us exercises to do to help Fiona realize that big brown dogs were not an instant threat to her.

Not only is Viviane great with dogs, she taught us to think like teachers for our dog, offering us the tools necessary to understand Fiona and have success. 

We are amazed at how fast the training is working; Fiona is well on her way back to her friendly and goofy self!"

"I always wanted to learn to groom my own dog and Viviane turned out to be the perfect teacher.  She is knowledgeable and patient.

In addition to teaching me how to groom Buster, and giving me advice on the equipment I would need, she provided me with valuable training tips on how to help Buster stay calm and have a positive grooming experience.

Viviane is a continuing source of support and inspiration; Buster and I always look forward to seeing her."
