Back to Training Overview
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!
- Hanna Tallman
Shaina was excellent and so patient. Great at making the Leash Reactivity class a relaxed learning environment.
- Abigail Rohlinger
Courtney was great! We learned a lot of valuable lessons for training our puppy.
- Peter Kordas
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.

We had a great experience at the Confidence Builder class! Poppy first tried the Tiny Tot Puppy social, but we were recommended the Confidence class instead, due to her being very scared at the social. This was a great reco and she did so much better the next time we came. It was great to be able to ask questions and learn from the trainers. Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable!
- Taylor Sparks
Our trainer, Jamie, was awesome!!
- Jacey Jones
I simply love my trainer, Jamie. My little guy, Denali, has been through a lot but he just loves her to pieces. Jamie is very patient with him and he responds very well to her. Jamie you are AMAZING and I appreciate you taking the time with my Bug. The growth he demonstrates is simply great and I am extremely grateful. Denali tried to type his comments as well but the lack of opposable thumbs presented difficulty LOL!
- Jalen Cobb
Cailin was so great with our dog and great with explaining while demonstrating. Highly recommend puppy manners class!
- Angie Cha
Courtney has been amazing with our pitty puppy Alfie. He’s done so well under her supervision and has gained great life skills that will impact us and him positively for all the years to come. I would recommended her to anyone looking for training. Overall I loved the concept of the dropoff training program as well, considering Alfie is very social and loves to play so it felt like a great balance.
- Vidhi Patel
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.

We had a great experience in the Adult Manners class, and our trainer Cailin was excellent.

Allison has immensely helped Cosmo with tolerating grooming. It’s like he’s a totally different dog when comparing his first day to now.
