The Dog Talker - Charleston's Leading Aggression & Dog Behavior Expert

We have a rescue dog who is fearful of people and most loud noises and we've been working with Vivi for several months to help him work through his issues. Vivi is patient, thoughtful, and a true professional. She takes the time each session to talk about the progress we've made and make sure we are all realistic about expectations. Between each session, she analyzes how the prior session went and tweaks the next session to adjust to our dog's level of progression. She has sent countless resources to help us continue his training on our own and responds quickly whenever we've emailed her with questions or concerns. If you are looking for someone who is highly organized, knowledgeable, and willing to help your dog be the best he or she can be, Vivi is the trainer for you!

Vivapaws is outstanding! I have a 4yr old beagle/mix that had fear issues, ie thunder, loud noises. This was such an issue for us... He was even afraid of the plastic bags the groceries came in. The panic was almost debilitating for him. Vivapaws, through their positive, force-free training and loving care, managed to help us understand his fear and adjust it through behavior techniques and fun-loving clicker training. He loves the clicker and enjoys the tasty treats it renders. We are so happy that he is less fearful and able to manage his anxiety, thanks to the wonderful and caring Vivi, at Vivapaws.
