The puppy social play was perfect for our 4 month old pup. He loved every minute of it. We will be back again.

Very satisfied with the Puppy Manners course. Already enrolled my pup into Intermediate Manners. I love that every employee and trainer is friendly and knowledgeable. It is extremely helpful that we can go back into our account and watch videos to review what we learned.

We absolutely loved Jamie's puppy manners class! Her teaching style was fantastic—she struck a great balance between group instruction and personalized feedback. She was always approachable and happy to answer any questions we had. We’re really looking forward to joining more of her classes in the future!

Shaina was amazing and so helpful in training my dog (who loves her!)
- Annie Flores
Maureen has been incredible with our dog Kevin (and he is obsessed with her!). Her plans each week have been so thoughtful and individualized, and she has given us a full toolbox of tips and tricks to work on with Kevin. We're so thankful for all of her work.

Jamie was amazing! We loved her patience and guidance with each trick we practiced with our pup. Astro has learned some great commands and he is sooo much better on walks and when socializing. Highly recommend Jamie!

Natalie was the absolute best. I was talking to a co-worker about our experience and she asked if I felt attacked by having a trainer "judge" my dog and us as pet parents. I shared that the opposite was true - working with Natalie was like working with a therapist who was able to quickly uncover feelings (both in our pup and in my husband and I), noting what was causing angst, fear, and other behaviors. Then, providing us coping mechanisms to make things better, more manageable, and most importantly, enabling us to understand Renegade versus just being frustrated with him. Truly helping us help set him up for success.

Natalie was great! Timely, personable, helpful. We're still working on some training with our dog but we're on the right path.

Jamie Walker is fantastic! We had 6 private sessions with her and learned a ton about how to support Mickey’s development. She’s thorough, so clear with training directions and an overall kind patient person. I highly recommend her!
- Mimi Neathery
Natalie was great! She really listened and helped. I’ve never had this amount of success from dog training before.

Visited your facility for the Whippersnapper puppy social. Helena is a joy and incredibly knowledgeable. Love how she explained the dog physiology behind certain play types. She controlled the puppy chaos and it was a great experience overall.

I can count on one hand the amount of reviews I’ve left online in my entire life, and I hope interested parties take the time to read this. We recently completed the drop-off training program at Tucker Pup’s with our puppy, Mochi, and had the absolute privilege of working with Helena. It’s hard to even put into words how grateful we are for the care, dedication, and heart she poured into Mochi’s training journey.
From day one, Helena treated Mochi like her own. She approached every session not just with professionalism and incredible expertise, but with true warmth and compassion. Her training style was thoughtful, positive, and so clearly tailored to Mochi’s personality. On training days before leaving the house we’d say “let’s get see Helena at Tucker Pup’s” and there was always immediate overwhelming excitement. Mochi absolutely adores her — and so do we.
Helena is truly one of a kind. She goes above and beyond in every sense, not just training dogs, but building real, lasting relationships. Anyone would be so incredibly lucky to work with her. She’s a gift to Tucker Pup’s, and we will forever be grateful to her for the positive impact she’s had on Mochi and on our family. If you’re considering training at Tucker Pup’s, ask for Helena — you and your dog will be in the best possible hands.

We had a fantastic experience with Tucker Pup's dropoff training program for our 5-month-old lab puppy, Indie. We initially met trainer Phaedra at a puppy social, and she was a key reason we chose Tucker Pup's. From the start, they were very thorough in explaining the training program. Indie attended twice a week and absolutely loved working with Phaedra. Her expertise and passion for dog training were evident in every session. We also greatly valued our weekly meetings with Phaedra, where she taught us what Indie was learning. She was patient, knowledgeable, and truly cared about Indie's progress. We are extremely happy with our decision to use Tucker Pup's dropoff training and highly recommend it! Indie is already signed up for her first boarding and I know she will love it!

Great Whippersnappers social! So fun and great way to learn while letting the dogs have fun.
- Alison Wilcox
This was our third puppy social. We love Phaedra so much! She is engaged the entire session and knows each pup individually.
- Kathleen Czajkowski
Phaedra was great and very on it during the puppy social! I felt like we were in good hands and a super safe and controlled socialization environment!

Shaina was excellent and so patient. Great at making the Leash Reactivity class a relaxed learning environment.

Courtney was great! We learned a lot of valuable lessons for training our puppy.

Shaina is very thorough and taught Eleanor and I some good techniques. We plan to work on those and get those down and then see what’s next!
- Mariel Knox
Helena at the puppy social on Saturday was amazing with our young pup Oliver! And Kim was awesome by prepping us ahead of time. We are coming back next week!
- Renee Mailhiot
I love Phaedra. She’s great! She is really focused on the safety of all puppies and engages with each human and puppy during the socials.

Our Adult Manners training class was great. We loved our trainer Angela and she taught us so many tips and tricks that work well with our one year old dog. We are looking forward to doing another class soon!
- Julie Gilling
Dropoff training was great for our puppy, Sullivan. There is a night and day difference in his behavior and responsiveness from before starting the program. I would recommend Tucker Pup's and the dropoff training to anyone.
- Daniel Keegan and Lena Taylor
We had a great time in the Puppy Manners course, and we learned a lot. It was well facilitated, clear, and our instructor Jamie was very supportive and engaged.
- Jennifer Wylie
Angela is awesome. We love how she was prepared for whatever the pups threw at her during class. The amount of caring that she exudes cannot be forced or faked and we love that she was genuinely concerned about and took an active interest in all the pups. Angela exudes a level of professionalism, kindness and knowledge that makes us want to continue more training with Gracie at Tucker Pup's.
