Behavioral Specialist
Our behavioral programs and team are overseen by Marnie Harris, KPA-CPT.
Marnie has been training dogs for over 20 years, and has focused on difficult behavioral challenges.
Marnie owned a dog training, boarding, daycare and grooming facility in Colorado for 11 years. She provided one-on-one behavioral therapy for dogs who were reactive, emotional, or aggressive. She also taught group classes, private lessons, online training, workshops, seminars, agility, nose work, and therapy dog certifications.
Marnie has also helped operated several rescues, with a primary focus on dog behavior. This includes serving as the Executive Director of Chicago Canine Rescue, as well as the Canine Manager of Animal Rescue League of Berks County in Pennsylvania.
In addition, she has been a consultant for numerous rescues and shelters across the country, helping resolve their most challenging cases, plus training their staff and volunteers.
Marnie has also rehabilitated dogs in her home that couldn't be adopted out and would have otherwise been euthanized.

Marnie has absolutely changed my relationship with my puppy Scout. Before I started working with Marnie, I had had two other trainers. While Scout learned a lot from the others, her behavior (resource guarding, biting, and separation anxiety) stayed the same. Marnie helped not only Scout, but trained me to be a better dog mom, and taught me to learn to listen to her. In fact, I think Marnie trained me more than she trained Scout! I truly appreciate that Marnie and the Tucker Pup's team were able to help us, and I look forward to continuing with our training.
