About Me

My name is Viola Larkin and I am the owner and founder of A Pawsitive Difference Dog Training School and a member of the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Trainers. 

I have owned dogs for close to 20 years, I am a  Professional Pet and Service Dog trainer.  I did my apprentiship with Bev Hurst, K9 101 and currently work with her as an assistant trainer. 

 I have instructed and trained dogs for Mobility Assistance and Hearing Response Training as well as puppy kindergarten, advanced obedience, Agility, Rally O and trick training.

I love to work with dogs with behaviors issues such as aggression and offer follow up phone calls or e-mails; my customers are dear to me. I believe in charity work and making a difference.  It is my goal to help you change your dogs behaviour and create the relationship you always wanted.

Beside working at A Pawsitive Difference I volunteer at the local Humane Society in the hopes to make dogs more adoptable and help them find a "forever home". 

Please make a “Pawsitive Difference” by teaching your four legged companion appropriate dog behaviour.
