A true expert in canine behaviour and training, she has worked with thousands of dogs — from wild puppies and unruly adolescents to anxious, reactive, and aggressive dogs. Aviva’s deep knowledge of canine body language and her mastery of dog psychology allow her to uncover the “why” behind behaviour, helping dogs feel understood and humans feel empowered. Guided by empathy and respect, Aviva bridges the communication gap between species, fostering trust, harmony, and lasting change in every relationship she helps build.
Aviva lives on Quadra Island and offers private training as well as group programs on Quadra, in Campbell River and all surrounding communities. She can help with obedience training, socialization, and behaviour modification.
