Testimonials

“Linda is very patient and was good with constructive comments. We learned quite a bit in the 6 week training course. Being consistent with command words is very important and to use different words for different commands not to confuse the dog. For instance DOWN to lay down and OFF to get off (whether its off of you or furniture etc). Linda was interested in helping each of us with our dogs individual issues and gave many good recommendations. It was a pleasure working with her.”
– Donna & Charles

“My boyfriend and I took Linda’s 6 week rambunctious puppy training course with our border collie puppy, Lluvia, a few months ago. We thought it was terrific! We learned how to use treats and positive reinforcement to get Lluvia to do what we want her to do and Lluvia learned how to pay attention to us on our walks and become less distracted as a result. We highly recommend this course!”
– Rachel & Pat

“Linda Kwoun was a wonderful supportive teacher for my Rambunctious Puppy. Ruby is far more socialized than she was before this class and much easier to handle because of what I learned.”
– Lee
