Guarding and Dog Aggression
Here is Frankie sitting at the head of the table. His mom asked for training help. Frankie was exhibiting dog aggression and guarding. Following a thorough evaluation it was determined to be fear based. We practiced choice points and behavior adjustment exercise over the course of a few months along with home management. Because of Frankies mom reaching out for help and dedicating herself the experience was a success. News is the neighbors are now stopping her to comment on how wonderful Frankie's behavior has been! Makes my heart sing!! Fa la la la la!!

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.
