Pup Parents Are Raving About This Mini-Course--
Clear And Easy To Understand - Thank You!
"I feel like I have a plan now to help my overly-excited dog learn to calm. We have tried some of these techniques, but you have broken down these skills into really clear steps. I also now realize how often we need to practice them in a day -the checklist was an eye-opener! I feel like I have a much more concrete plan for getting to the end goal of a calm, well-behaved dog, which has given me hope again! Thank you!" --Christa

Easy Tips For A Happier Relationship With My Pup.
"These activities were easy to follow from the directions. My mini schnauzer caught on quickly and I look forward to trying the activities in more distracting environments. He does not like being away from home so I'm hoping as quick as he caught on he may demonstrate being more comfortable in different situations." -- Denise
I focus on helping pet parents with puppies, teen dogs and rescues start their journey on the right paw. I want to help them avoid the typical mistakes, but sometimes we are called in to help with behavior modification for pulling like a train on walks, barking at anyone at the door, jumping on people, barking and lunging at other dogs and people, and many more issues.
I grew up with dogs and live with several now, Danny and Jill. But Jack is the one who opened my world to fostering and other pursuits to help other dogs in need.
When you tell me that you feel overwhelmed and exhausted about what you are dealing with, I know what you mean. Jack was a over-reactive dog that I could not keep under threshold when other people came up to us when we were on a leash.
I realized Jack was not the only dog with these issues, which brought me to what I love doing now----To help the other Jacks in the world so you can have a less stressful life with your dog.
We can help with personalized training in your home, in-person group classes or through interactive online classes or self-study options. The in-home and group classes include opportunities to practice in real life scenerios in different Costa Mesa locations. Thank you for visiting Wow Bow Wow! You are an amazing pet parent to come here looking for answers, solutions & support. Let's chat about your dog and how I can help.

PUP PARENTS RAVE ABOUT THE RESULTS THEY'RE GETTING
"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
We have been so pleased with the training tools and support we received from Lindaβs guidance. Her expertise in training and astute ability to work with each individual and their dogs allows her to provide the best training to each family. She provided us with demonstrations of techniques and evaluates calmly and kindly. Our dog came out of the show ring and needed guidance on walking on a leash, managing his enthusiasm for life and managing his relationship with other dogs. After 4 weeks and a lot of continued practice, we are happy to say that we enjoy him much more and he continues to learn and improve. We would recommend Linda and wish we had contacted her sooner! --Marcia & Mike
