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!

Maureen was an amazing trainer!
Max has always been very hesitant and fearful of new people. Maureen remained patient, calm, and consistent every session and gained Max's trust very quickly; which again was very surprising to see because this is something we have struggled with for years. Maureen was very thorough when explaining different techniques and training methods. Max' walks have been SO MUCH better, we are able to go on more calmer walks, he is more relaxed and attentive to me when walking. His focus and reactivity when seeing other dogs/people during the walks has decreased.
Again, thank you to Maureen in helping us better Max's life!

We worked with Jamie with our dog Bear, and she was amazing! Bear has several issues, including loose leash walking, reactivity to dogs and men, as well as picking objects off of the street.
As soon as we started working with Jamie, we saw a huge improvement and he has continued to improve since. She not only helped with training, but gave us tips to help with his general demeanor and as soon as we implemented them, his behavior improved.
I recommend Jaime to help with any training needs.

Meadow had a great time at the Whippersnappers puppy social yesterday! The instructors were really helpful giving us useful tips on training and reading certain cues from our puppy. We will definitely be coming back for another social.

Shaina was amazing. Our boy Luka has trouble with self regulation and destructive behavior. She immediately understood what the root cause was and gave us many tips and tricks to address those issues. And on top of it, Luka absolutely adored her!

Helena is amazing. Lily had a blast at the social and so did we. Definitely coming back for more services

Our trainer, Jamie Walker, is incredible. Most importantly, she immediately bonded with our dog, Sophie, and understood how to motivate and communicate with her. That led to quick and lasting behavioral changes that improved quality of life for us and our pup.
Jamie is a total professional. Beyond being an expert at what she does, Jamie is on-time, communicative, and kind. We looked forward to training every week because she made it fun and stress-free.
(Backstory: Jamie helped train Sophie when she was a puppy back in 2020. Fast forward five years, and my husband and I are expecting our first child. We were debating doing additional training with Sophie to help prepare her for having a baby in the house, but we weren't sure if it was necessary. When we saw that Jamie had availability to work with Sophie again, the decision was made in a snap. We knew the value of Jamie's guidance from our first round of training, and we signed up again right away, and we're SO glad we did.)

Chip absolutely loves working with Helena in Dropoff Training, and we appreciate all of her updates. We have already seen improvements in Chip's behavior. He is always so tired when we pick him up and we are so glad he is getting a lot of exercise. When we walk there to drop him off, Chip gets excited the second we turn onto Carpenter!

Lily had a great time at the Confidence Builder puppy social, and Helena was fantastic. Can't wait to come back!

Maureen is WONDERFUL!! I was so nervous about finding a trainer who would prioritize respect and comfort for my pup. She has gone above and beyond and helped my pup become a more confident and brave version of herself. She makes concepts and exercises easy to understand and truly cares about dogs becoming their best selves!

Courtney was fantastic. My husband and I were overwhelmed with puppy training and she was able to come in and put our minds at ease and help us.

So glad we did all three levels of training through Tucker Pup’s. The classes were organized and the instructors are awesome!
- Roshni Gehi Patel
The Adult Manners class was excellent. I loved the small class size and individual attention we received. Jamie was a patient and knowledgeable trainer and I appreciated that she modified the exercises to my dog's specific needs. I also appreciated that she would stay after class to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend a class with her and with Tucker Pup's in general.

Brought my 3 month old boxer puppy Archie in for a socialization. Was a bit nervous with him being so little but Helena was fantastic in handling all puppies and making sure Archie was protected and included with the group. Yesterday was our third social and we’re looking forward to more!
- Tim Kavanaugh
Courtney was great in the Advanced Manners class, and so helpful in explaining how to engage Molly!
- Andrea Berdusco
Jamie was a great trainer and my girl really loved her. She was helpful and throughout the class made sure each dog had individual attention. She addressed any concerns and offered tips readily and was extremely knowledgeable. I would love to have her as a trainer in any future classes at Tucker Pup's.
- Kaitlyn Williams
Jessie was awesome, we really enjoyed class with her and our experience in general at Tucker Pup's and will gladly come back! Our pup, Lumi, has learned a lot too!
