Joe is right, you want long pull levers for v-brakes. A canti (short pull) lever can sometimes kind of work with a v-brake, and I've done that before to make the brakes exceptionally powerful, but the lever feel will be quite spongy and the pads will be very close to the rim. It's not a recommended combination unless you're specifically trying to do something strange and you know exactly what you're getting into. Not sure what your LBS was thinking recommending that; there was probably some miscommunication or something.
