​Vivian Zottola, MSc, CBCC | 617.721.8025

PictureViv and George 2024
As a human dog relationship therapist in the field of dog behavior, I bring a unique blend of principles from canine ethology, applied behavior analysis psychology, stress signal interpretation, and kind training mechanics to repair strained relationships between people and their pet companion dogs. This distinctive approach has earned me the trust and referrals from veterinarians and the general public. I often work on common concerns such as adolescent dogs that "don't listen", adult dogs that jump, mouth, growl and have bitten as well as puppies that nip. I work with several clients at a time in their home and on zoom and will do my best to accommodate you if I am available. If I cannot assist you, I can guide you to others and one way or another am here for you if you're reading this and need help.

In the meantime, you can explore solutions through some of the cases in my new book, "Being a Good Dog in the Human's World." This book is a comprehensive guide that includes stories about dogs from various backgrounds and behavioral challenges, including fear, anxiety, and aggression. It also provides practical solutions and valuable insights that can significantly enhance your relationship with your dogs. 

My book offers practical solutions that are easy to implement, valuable insights, and advice that can significantly enhance your relationship with your dogs. It encourages you to view their actions from a different perspective. I highly recommend reading it to complement working with me or any qualified Fear Free pet professional.

​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. ​​
