Loving Dog Training - Aiea, Hawaii

We started seeing Vivi back in April for overall reactivity but specifically with men, runners, children, larger dogs, etc. Through the different training sessions Vivi was able to equip me as a dog owner to better understand my dogs body language, behaviors, etc. As a mini Australian shepherd, he is very energetic and being able to understand him better has made a huge difference in our bond.

I’ve had friends & family tell me that they see a positive difference in overall aggression. Every day is a work in progress but having Vivi’s support and guidance makes a huge difference.

We worked with Vivi for both the one on one training classes & the group reactive classes. Through the one on one sessions, we were able to focus on specific triggers. As for the group reactive classes, it has been a great exposure with other dogs that are similar to him in different situations and environments which has improved his confidence greatly.

Vivi is so positive, attentive, easy to work with, and knowledgeable. I would HIGHLY recommend her!

Vivi is absolutely amazing! Her love towards animals is very apparent and the knowledge she has is incredible. When giving advice or responding, she doesn’t just give basic blanket answer, no she goes above and beyond really consider your dogs needs. I referred her to friends! Thanks so much Vivi!

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"

Viviana implements her knowledge and love for dogs in her training. She is patient and willing to work with inexperience dog owners. Please understand that she gives you tools to work with your dog, you have to put work in in order to be successful. Viviana is also great with kids, she does a great job at helping them understand their pet’s behavior as well as teaching them how to handle unwanted/unacceptable behaviors.

Vivi at LovingDogTraining was the perfect trainer we needed when we got our 5-month old puppy. We enrolled in the Puppy Training course which she adapted to our dog’s needs. She helped us teach our puppy basic commands and walking on a leash, etc. She established a crate time schedule which worked wonders as our apparently our puppy was not getting enough sleep. In addition to answering any and all questions that we had, she explained some dog psychology concepts in a way we could understand as they related to our puppy’s behavioral issues. Best of all, our puppy loved Vivi and was so excited to see her! Before Vivi, our puppy had never wagged her tail. We give Vivi our highest recommendation. Her professional puppy training skills are the best!

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.

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 chose Viviana from a group of trainers I vetted myself, and she really is everything I hoped to get in a dog trainer. Viviana was prompt and on time to every appointment I made and her interaction with my dogs was amazing. She is incredibly calm and patient and she is very knowledgeable in how to address different behaviors. I am so pleased with the service I received from Loving Dog, and I would absolutely recommend her to family, friends, and anyone else who would like to have dogs that can focus and listen. Thanks Viviana, you have made a huge difference for us!
