Jessie is amazing - she taught our puppy, Rupert, in the beginner class as well. She is very knowledgeable, a dog whisperer, and a parent whisperer as well!

The puppy social with Helena was great! She was amazing and taught us a lot about puppy behavior. We will definitely be coming back.

Phaedra was absolutely amazing for Dropoff Training. She clearly loves Sunny and was able to calibrate the training program to her strengths. Sunny also absolutely loves Phaedra and formed a bond with her quickly, making the training go even more smoothly. We feel that Sunny has a good base to work from in her goal of becoming a therapy dog!

Courtney was awesome. We loved the class. And we will most likely do the one level up one and maybe even private lessons with Courtney.

My puppy and I attended our first Whippersnappers puppy social with Helena. This far exceeded my expectations. I assumed the puppies would just play the entire time. However, Helena incorporated training, obstacle courses, and relaxation techniques. I went home with a happy and tired puppy as well as a ton of new techniques and training tricks to use in our every day routine. We will definitely be going back!

We attended the Whippersnapper Puppy Social on Saturday 2/28 with Helena. It was excellent! Helena is so knowledgeable and so helpful. She facilitated a really nice puppy social for our 5 month old husky mix. We TRULY appreciate the opportunity to interact with other puppies in this environment. Helena is great!

Maureen was really great to work with - she understood my dog and his needs very quickly, gave lots of options/recommendations for ways that I could work with him on different behaviors, and always made our sessions productive and fun. She had a solution for everything, and made me feel confident in how I was handling my dog. Maureen was an absolute pleasure to work with!

Natalie is a great teacher, she made the class fun and I got lots of practical tips and saw great improvements with Presley.

Jamie was amazing and it was so nice to see the progression with Polly over the months we worked with her. Polly is truly a different dog and Jamie was a great resource to have to validate what we were doing and offer suggestions of how to slowly get Polly to be more confident in her every day life.

Maureen was great! We are happy she was paired up with us! Our pup Piper misses her already, and so do we!

Jamie was super helpful during our Puppy Manners class for our Samoyed pup! I like how she kept class informative, playful, and fun.
- Kendall Coughlan
We thought the pace of the Puppy Manners course was wonderful! Our dog (and us) learned a lot over the course of training.
- Owen Speth
Helena does a great job letting the dogs have fun and educating on how dogs should play!
- Kendall Coughlan
The training has been immensely helpful so far. 3 months ago, Piper was regularly resource guarding and snapping at Winnie, and now they are cuddling together daily and the altercations are few and far between. Both Courtney and Jamie have been wonderful.
- Jody Joynt
Allison was great! We learned a lot and it was overall a very good experience. Would 100% recommend to others.
- Trista Wilson
Courtney was wonderful! Cardi is a young toy poodle that has a lot of energy, and her behavior has greatly improved from Courtney's training. Cardi responds to all of the training techniques and tips that Courtney showed me and Cardi also enjoyed the training. She was attentive and always happy to see Courtney. Courtney was also very kind and very professional. Was very good experience and I greatly appreciate her helping Cardi and me.

We loved every training sessions with Jamie at Tucker Pup's. Not only for the training aspect but also for the socialization it offered our puppy. Jamie is so patient with dogs and parents alike and always has great advice and recommendations for training and other puppy matters outside the class. Can't wait to be back in a few months for the next training class and hopefully we get to work with Jamie again - although all the staff we've met so far are great too!
- Laure Leger
Jamie Walker is great. Teaches with patience and consistency. Got a lot from the class.
- Ann Temple
Shaina continues to be a trusted resource for me and Walter as he navigates his emotions. She and Phaedra were consistently professional, knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the Leash Reactivity course. I especially appreciate their transparency in acknowledging that the training is not a “quick fix,” but rather an opportunity to equip both the owner and the dog with practical, effective tools for long-term success.

We had such a great experience with Tucker’s Pup's Pet Resort and our trainer, Maureen! From the start, the team at Tucker Pup's was fantastic. They responded quickly, asked thoughtful questions to match us with the right trainer, and made scheduling (and rescheduling) super easy. Every person we interacted with was friendly, kind, and understanding, which made us feel comfortable and supported as we worked through improving our dog’s behaviors.
Maureen was amazing! She helped us tackle our dog’s separation anxiety and leash reactivity with practical, positive strategies. She really listened to our concerns, was always easy to reach, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog’s progress. We also loved having access to their website to review weekly lessons and refresh what we’d learned.
Our dog has made incredible progress, and we feel so much more confident thanks to Maureen and the entire Tucker Pup's team. Highly recommend!
