We love Cailin. She’s an excellent instructor.

- Sara Popenhagen
Jessie was phenomenal! She brought such an amazing energy to class each week and was so patient with our pups. They all left with clear growth in skills compared to the beginning. Would highly recommend her!

- Katie Williams
We were overall very pleased with the Intermediate Manners class! Jessie was great and very passionate about the dogs and helping them grow.

- Abby Asher
June has been so great walking on her leash! I picked her up today and have already noticed an improvement! She was taken well care of during her stay and loved the care that employee showed.

I've taken my puppy to a number of different training and enrichment activities at Tucker Pup's and have been thoroughly impressed with the staff's passion, professionalism and enthusiasm. My dog always gets excited when we pass the training site and wants to go in to say hi to whoever he recognizes at the desk!

Puppy Socials: For those with young puppies, this is a great chance to work on some basic training, confidence building and of course socialization! I looked forward to taking my puppy to meet other pups his age and let them romp around - the social supervisors fill the room with lots of toys and props that enrich the playtime and they are very responsible monitoring the play to make sure no one gets overwhelmed or hurt.

Puppy Manners: Susy was our trainer and she did a great job training our rowdy bunch of puppies. All Tucker Pup's training classes start with a "human only" orientation class to set expectations, discuss what will be needed / covered in class and some other helpful information and tips for training puppies, properly rewarding them, etc. After that orientation, we met once a week for an hour-long class that always started with some social time, and then went into pattern games and training. There is also an online portal with training videos so if you missed class or forgot what you need to work on... the videos are a great reference.

Turnkey Training: I realized that Cassian (my Great Dane) was nervous walking and had some issues jumping / getting overly stimulated while walking, so I worked with Susy over a few weeks to address these concerns and walking with him has become noticeably more pleasant for the both of us! It was so nice to leave Cassian in Susy's hands for his training while I was at work and then come back and notice little behavior modifications / corrections thanks to their sessions. :)

I can't recommend Susy enough as a trainer - she worked with my pup for Puppy Manners and Turnkey Training, and I've been very pleased with his progress to date!

Cailin was our trainer, and I am extremely satisfied with my experience and the results. She was great to work with and ask clarifying questions. I was so impressed with how observant she was of small things that I didn’t notice my dog or I was doing. I am looking forward to enrolling in her classes.

Dexter had so much fun at the Whippersnappers puppy social! Our instructor was wonderful, hope to have her next time! We start puppy manners soon!!

- Megan Falkenberg
Susy's Adult Manners class was great! We learned how to work with our dog in a busy environment.

- Bobby Rein
Susy did a nice job meeting the individual needs of the participants of the Adult Manners class. Kept everyone involved and focused. You have a very friendly staff everyone I met was great!

- Maggie Mangan
Allison is AMAZING! From the start of Dropoff Training, we knew Huck was in great hands. Thanks for all you do!

- Lindsay Forward
Cailin was great - friendly, approachable, and available. We found a ton of value in the Puppy Manners class, and have already signed up for intermediate training.

- Leslie McClintock
Puppy Manners class was extremely helpful for my sweet and rambunctious pup. The trainers are very knowledgeable and patient with my class clown.

- Susan Jardine
Angela was absolutely fantastic! We had a blast in her Intermediate Manners class and learned so much. Hound's listening has improved dramatically and he adores Angela. What more could we ask for!

- Janine Kick
I really enjoy bringing my dog to Tucker Pup's. Angela has been simply overall amazing in Intermediate Manners class. She listens, gives pointers, and her training and guidance has been instrumental for me and my dog, Ohtli. She rocks!

- Sandra Cortez
We love the puppy socials and appreciate the staff for narrating what is happening which is very helpful. That is probably one of the most valuable parts for us at pet parents.

- Maddisen Philbrick
The trainers are excellent. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. They all seem to genuinely love the puppies.

- Susan Jardine
We were very happy with the puppy social and can’t wait to join another one soon. The trainers were awesome and very friendly.

- Allyson Maturo
Veronica has been incredible. She was patient with our pup and gave great support to us. Our family noticed a positive change. We will continue to work with Veronica in the future.

- Morgan Duesing
We really appreciated how helpful the trainers were for us and Archer. He is 10 weeks old and went the Whippersnappers social. While Archer showed he did have some confidence, the other dogs were much older and larger so he sat in our lap. They then extended the courtesy to have him come back for Confidence Builder instead and applied our credit. Extremely generous and without asking. Really love this first impression! It showed how much they cared about not letting Archer have a rocky start with new dogs.

- Maddisen Philbrick
Susy is awesome - great class. Will be coming back.
