Empowering dogs and guardians through compassion and science.

Trusted By Veterinarians 

With over 20 years of experience as a behavior consultant and dog trainer, my programs are built on a foundation of clinical insight, research, and compassionate care. I’ve worked alongside veterinarians in clinical settings, analyzing canine behavior and supporting families through complex challenges. My approach integrates knowledge and experience:​
  • Coauthored Published research and case studies on puppy development, aggression, and emotional regulation. 
  • Author of three published books.
  • Subject Matter Expert for Center for Canine Behavior Studies
  • Direct work with dogs of all ages and backgrounds—from puppy mill survivors and shelter dogs to senior companions and adolescent rescues
  • One-on-one and group training for puppies, adults, and seniors presenting fear, anxiety, aggression, or simply needing help with manners
Every training plan is personalized, science-based, and designed to support your dog’s emotional wellness and behavioral success—whether you're navigating early development, trauma recovery, or everyday challenges like aggression, anxiety, jumping, chewing, or humping.

​Educational Content & Training Philosophy 
Vivian Zottola’s Human -Dog behavior and communication training is rooted in kindness and current evidence based animal science. Behavior Training Interventions Vivian has designed are ideal for humans and their pets of all -life stages (juvenile, adolescent, adult, geriatric) and breeds regardless if acquired from a commercial, private breeder or through a rescue/shelter.  Vivian provides people and their pet companions the opportunity to learn based on the individuals’ (human and animal) unique perception and personal needs. Teaching strategies incorporated may include a mix of structured reward based operant conditioning, desensitization, counter conditioning, response substitution, relaxation and replacement training for both human and pet animal. No aversive (punishment tactics including fear, pain or intimidation) tools, equipment or discipline is used in any of Vivian’s training practice. ​​
