Testimonials

Wholistic Woofers has been a godsend for our dog Zoey! Despite being over a year old, she still struggles with grasping the concept of going to the bathroom outside. After exhausting all other options, we turned to Vivian for in-home sessions as a last resort. Vivian’s extensive knowledge and genuine care allow her to deeply understand Zoey’s needs and the underlying reasons for her reluctance. The transformation was remarkable, even after just the first session. I wholeheartedly endorse Vivian. Her dedication to her craft is evident, and she is unquestionably exceptional at what she does! We’re committed to utilizing her services for all our other beloved pets as well!

This review is long overdue for Vivian and her team, but I had nothing but the best experience for our private photoshoot! She is very knowledgeable and knew how to engage with my dog and make him feel comfortable. We chose the couples shoot and Vivian was really thorough in trying to understand my vision. I cannot wait to go back with our second dog! I hope to make some time and take my dogs to her training course as well.

I have been working with Vivian, owner of Wholistic Woofers for 5 years. She is one of the most talented and compassionate trainers I have ever met. She really understands dogs and is able to train to suit your pets situation. I cannot say enough good things. Kyrie, my sheltie has an abundance of tail wags for Vivian!
