What people have asked about this business.

What is your training style?

All of our techniques are based on positive reinforcement and understanding the dog's triggers and motivations for behavior. This helps us teach new more appropriate responses to situations that are problematic for the dog. Our training is structured to be enjoyable for both the dogs and humans, making practice and learning fun and easy to do!

Viviane was my first introduction to dog training and I'm very grateful that she was. I knew nothing about positive reinforcement training and thought training was more along the lines of "sit" and "stay". Truthfully, it was a little confusing at first because like anything, positive reinforcement training, especially with a traumatized dog like I had, takes time and effort. But within 8 weeks, the strides we saw were unbelievable. I do not believe there is any leash or collar that could have brought us more significant results. Viviane has an incredible eye for detail and notices everything. She is also the rare trainer that cares as much for the dogs as she does for the humans caring for them. She checks in, takes phone calls, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone can do their best in the most supportive environment possible. We're very grateful.

I attend the virtual trainer Q&A on Saturday's for advice for my different foster dogs (breed, ages & challenges vary). The PumpkinPups team not only gives actionable steps to take but insight to why the dogs behavior may be happening which makes me a more compassionate foster mom. I'm so thankful for this wonderful group of trainers helping pups and their humans.

Pumpkin Pups Training School is a gem in the world of puppy training, and I can't recommend it highly enough. My experience with the Puppy Essential Training Course, led by the incredible instructors Alison and Jess, was truly instrumental in getting off on the right foot with building my relationship with my 3 month old puppy. From the moment I reached out to Pumpkin Pups, Vivian, the owner, provided unwavering support that was critical to the wellbeing of my puppy and to my success as a puppy parent. Her dedication to ensuring a seamless transition for my puppy from home to the training environment was invaluable. Vivian's personal touch and approach to training made me feel confident that I had chosen the right training school for my puppy. The Puppy Essential Training Course exceeded my expectations. Alison and Jess are not only knowledgeable professionals but also passionate about what they do. Their enthusiasm made each class engaging and effective. The course covered essential training skills and handling and even provided insights into understanding my puppy's needs better. In addition, the course fostered community and helped my arrange puppy playdates to support my puppy's socialization. What sets Pumpkin Pups apart is the personalized attention and support offered. Vivian's commitment to the success of every pup and owner is evident, and her guidance has been instrumental in overcoming challenges. Thanks to Pumpkin Pups, my puppy has blossomed into a well-behaved, happy companion. If you're looking for a top-notch training school with a supportive community, Pumpkin Pups is the place to go!

Even dog trainers need the help of a dog behavior professional from time to time. I worked with Viviane virtually for help with my dog. She helped me clarify the basic issue I was struggling with, and together we came up with the solution that had been eluding me. She was compassionate and kind and completely honest with me. She really listened to everything I said, asked me questions, and took the time to answer all of my questions. She made sure I had all that I needed by the end of our consultation. 10/10 I recommend Viviane and Pumpkin Pups!

I am a dog trainer upstate. I owe my career to this team. Several years ago I reached out in desperate need of help and mentorship. This team took me under their wing and taught me SO much. They teach humans as they teach dogs - with high standards and compassion. Whether you are a trainer looking to learn more or are searching for a trainer for your pup, I cannot recommend Pumpkin Pups enough!
