About Vivian

I have studied Canine Behaviour & Training at Unitec in 2020, I've done a 120hrs one on one dog training course in 2019 and I'm a former dog trainer at Allsorts Dog Training where I used to run all their puppy programs and also do one on one obedience and behavioural consultations.

My love for animals come from as far as I can remember, I was always surrounded by them.

I was born in a big city in Brazil but was fortunate enough to be able to be raised amongst the nature, in my parents farm, during the weekends. We had more than 10 dogs, including several mutts, 2 beagles, 3 poodles, goats, koi carps, frogs, turtles, chickens and other birds.

My last dog in Brazil was a dalmatian and currently I own Zabi, a mix of whippet, cattle dog, greyhound and boxer. Zabi doesn't get along with all dogs, so before booking for dog boarding I need to know about your dog's personality, breed, sex and age so I can have a better idea if it will be suitable or not to host your pooch here. She loves greyhounds, whippets, GSPs, vizslas and hunting type dogs. She doesn't like German Shepherds and larger dogs. It will all depend on personalities. I have good systems in place and can keep the dogs separately, this set up is to make sure both our pets are safe and happy here.

I also work full time, so please don't enquiry if your pet won't be comfortable and happy staying alone.

Knowing that each pet is unique on their own, my goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible during their time with me. There is a medium/large outdoor fully fenced backyard where they can play, run and have fun and throughout their stay I'll make sure that I'm fulfilling their needs such as going out with them for sniffs and exercising, engaging their brain through play, feeding and training so they can trust me and feel safe and comfortable.

With my knowledge and experience I'll be able to give the best holidays for your pet 🐾

I highly recommend Vivian. She was excellent with our young Vizsla; he had a lovely time with her and her dog.

Vivian obviously knows a lot about dogs and their behaviour, we felt very safe leaving our dog with her, and she sent us lovely photos of him having a great time with her. I would most definitely use her again.
