About
As a Biologist and Animal Behavior specialists, gives me the ability to encourage the performance of naturally occurring behaviors and also the discontinuance of undesirable behaviors. By directly observing an animal’s behavior in its environment, I can understand, assess, analyze and address your pet behavior concerns. I will work with both pets and their owners to facilitate behavioral change. In their environment, I will explore your pet’s interactions with other animals and with each member of the family to determine a possible cause of the animal’s condition and then provide you with an individualized Behavior Training Plan to provide positive reinforcement treatment interventions improving the human leadership and animal bond between you and your pet. A well-behaved, fulfilled and happy pet needs exercise, discipline, and affection. I love the interaction with animals and be able to help people to understand their pets behaviors and needs. Nature and animals are my passion. I can provide Background check document if requested. Because of my limited time to work with new clients, I will respond just to clients that select me exclusively. Thanks for your understanding. 🙏🏻

Very knowledgeable about unruly rescue young dog. Helpful advices. With construction going on in yard, they were able to board and train my puppy, who is so loveable but very energetic, and constant barking at construction activity. When I called for assistance, she came right away to pick up my puppy and board him so I could finish the construction in the yard without upsetting him.

Vivian provided me with the tools to re-train my dog after 9 years. It turned out that the problem was me lol. She is very professional and knows her trade. I recommend her 100%.

Vivian is absolutely amazing. My wife and I were struggling to introduce her two cats from Bogota to my 10 year old terrier who had never shared her space with another animal, let alone two. Vivian was able to give us the tools and the training to achieve what we wanted: a peaceful home where everyone gets along. The results are fast and efficient, without any aggressive methods that would stress our animals. As you can tell, we are very impressed with Vivian and recommend her without reservation.

Working with Vivien has been INCREDIBLE! We wish we would’ve found her years ago! From the very first session, we saw an immediate difference in our three dogs. Its continued with each visit and we could never thank her enough. She’s so sweet, patient with the dogs (and us hahaha), flexible with scheduling….I can’t say enough good things. We thought our dogs were too crazy and “would never learn”…we couldn’t have been more wrong thanks to Vivien!
