Viola’s consistent approach to training has allowed for improved understanding and communication with our Sasha. Her teaching methods are pet-friendly and owner-friendly.

Viola’s non-invasive training courses are planned, systematic and provide our Sasha with structure. Her comments and opinions are relevant, clear and concise. Also, her flexible schedule and mobility has greatly eased the dog training process.
We are thrilled with the training results and thank Viola for her assistance!

Thanks for your help this evening Viola. I feel that I have a better understanding now! I'm definitely feeling more confident with training Macie.I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your support and guidance!

Hi Viola, well, Chantal & I were very happy to meet you yesterday and very appreciative of what you have taught us for training our Bradey! We practiced last evening and all is going very well. Was able to let him go out this morning no leash to do his business...ventured on deckafter, but a quick whistle and in the house he came, went into a sit position..and I had treat waiting! NO WORDS WERE SPOKEN! Wow that was awesome. We will continue on.
Thanks again and see you next week.

We were delighted our 4 mth old puppy picked up 5 tricks within 2 sessions!! Viola made the training fun for our dog and he completed his puppy training, now we are moving onto the advanced puppy training classes!

We were very excited bringing our 9 week old Golden Retriever puppy home for the first time. Derry! The reality of what we had introduced into our house, a highly energetic chewing machine, set in quickly.
The first positive step towards returning our household to some sense of normal was to enrol Derry in Viola Larkin's puppy kindergarten. Viola's approach of rewarding our puppy for desired behaviours began to show results immediately. Her methods have givien us a strong foundation on which to continue working towards a well-behaved, well-adjusted addition to our family.

Thanks Viola..........Derry says drop by anytime you're in the area. She'd love to see you.

Hi Viola,
I want to thank you again for the training with Mika after two sessions it worked wonderfully. It was more me that needed to be trained and I noticed a huge difference just after one session!
Thanks again

I would like to thank Viola for helping me with Zurich, a seven year old Bernese Mountain Dog that I adopted from the SPCA in November 2009. Since Zurich was never trained - he was used for breeding and never lived with a family - he had a lot to learn. Viola (and her two faithful canine assistants) were able to build his confidence in his new environment, especially walking outdoors.

Thank you Viola for your patience and words of encouragement!

I was looking for a personalize service for my dog Bijoux who had just turned 5 months and was a little out of control and a very intense little chi-pou! I approached other dog trainers but it was always in a group setting and I wanted my dog to get 1 on 1 attention and also I wanted to learn from that experience. This is when I called Viola on feedback from my groomer. We made an appointment to meet with her and right away, I sensed that Viola had a great approach with Bijoux he really liked her teaching and her treats certainly helped. After the 1st session we already had some success in obedience and we also learnt a few tricks. We went for 5 1 on 1 sessions and both me and my wife were very impressed with the progress we had achieved in a very short time. Bijoux is more mature now but is still a hand full at times but the tips and tricks we learnt with A Pawsitive Difference Dog Training will last a life time.

Thank you - merci Viola!
