Structured Training Residency
with three levels of support depending on your dog’s needs
A private, home-based training experience designed to help your dog become calm, responsive, and easy to live with in real life.
Limited to just two dogs at a time for individualized training.
Does this sound familiar?
• Your young dog pulls hard on leash
• Jumping on guests is becoming a habit
• Barking at every sound in the neighborhood
• Walks feel chaotic instead of enjoyable
• Your dog struggles to relax in the home
• And they're still making potty mistakes in the home
You love your dog.
You just want life to feel easier.
Imagine life with your dog feeling like this:
• Calm, enjoyable walks in your neighborhood
• Guests entering your home without chaos
• A dog who can relax peacefully indoors
• Confidence bringing your dog to parks or patios
The early months shape the next 10–15 years
Young dogs are constantly learning habits. Without structure, behaviors like pulling, barking, and jumping can become lifelong patterns. With the right training early, your dog can develop the habits that make life together enjoyable.

WHY THIS PROGRAM IS DIFFERENT:
Most board-and-train programs place dogs in busy kennel facilities.
Our program is intentionally designed as a home-based learning environment, allowing young dogs to develop habits in a calm, structured setting.
Because we accept only two dogs at a time, every dog receives focused training and attention.
About Us
Our mission is to elevate the standard of dog training by delivering an exclusive, concierge-level board and train experience tailored to both dog and owner. Through thoughtfully customized programs designed around each dog’s temperament, needs, and goals, we treat training not as a service, but as a meaningful investment in your dog’s lifelong behavior, confidence, and relationship with you.
Linda Kwoun -
the dog trainer
I am a professional dog trainer and educator focused on helping people raise well-mannered, well-adjusted dogs in busy city environments.
My work sits at the intersection of:
• Dog behavior science
• human coaching
• practical real-world training
I believe training is not simply about teaching commands. It is about building understanding, communication, and trust between dogs and their humans.
I help people who love their dogs deeply but are struggling with behaviors that make daily life harder than it should be.
My role is not just trainer — I am:
• a coach
• an observer of behavior
• a translator between dogs and humans
My goal is to help people experience the kind of relationship with their dog that makes everyday life calmer, easier, and more connected.
Barb West -
the Residency Host
With a distinguished 35-year career in financial services, Barb later devoted herself fully to her lifelong passion—creating and operating a highly regarded holistic Animal Wellness Center. While she has since transitioned from ownership, her commitment to exceptional animal care remains unwavering.
Your dog’s residency and training experience takes place within Barb’s private home—an intentionally serene, thoughtfully curated environment where each dog is welcomed as a valued member of the household. This elevated, home-based setting allows dogs to settle in comfortably, fostering a sense of security, ease, and emotional balance that supports meaningful learning.
To preserve the integrity of this experience, residency is limited to just two dogs at a time. With only one other companion in the home, each dog benefits from a highly personalized approach—receiving attentive care, tailored training, and consistent, enriching interaction throughout their stay.
The property features a spacious, securely enclosed backyard designed for both structured training and relaxed enjoyment. Here, dogs engage in guided exercises, enrichment activities, and restorative downtime—allowing them to practice and integrate new skills in a natural yet carefully managed setting.
This exclusive combination of refined care and intentional structure creates an environment where dogs can build confidence, develop lasting habits, and achieve exceptional progress.
This is more than a place for training—it is a private, boutique residency where your dog’s well-being, comfort, and success are held to the highest standard.
Start with a Consultation
During the consultation we will:
• learn about your dog
• discuss your goals
• determine if this program is the right fit
A calm, well-mannered dog is possible. With the right guidance early in your dog’s life, behaviors like pulling, jumping, and barking can improve dramatically. We’re here to help you raise the dog you imagined when you first brought them home.
