Hi, my name is Viola Larkin and I am a mother, dog trainer, and a local business owner.

With over 20 years of dog training expertise, I offer in-home, personalized dog training and obedience classes.  

 

For the last 15 years I have trained Service Dogs to provide support for PTSD, mental health, and mobility assistance.

 

I specialize in pawsitive motivational training methods.  Your dog will want to learn because I am an expert in creating fun, enthusiastic, learning environments. 

​

My goal is to meet every challenge you may have with your dog and provide you with the tools to ensure a successful outcome.
