Back to Training Overview
We loved our first puppy socia. Our trainer David was amazing! Very thorough explanations of puppy behavior I didn’t know even as someone who loves all things dogs. He was very watchful of overly exuberant behavior and made sure each puppy felt comfortable. I really can’t wait to go back!

This is the second dog we've had attend a training class with Tucker Pup's. The scheduling is convenient and the instructors are wonderful. I'm a dog trainer and still enroll my dogs in training classes. For our puppy, it was vitally important that she got that socialization experience and had the ability to work around distractions aka other adorable puppies!
Tucker Pup's provides an invaluable service by offering classes that use positive reinforcement methods. This makes them somewhat unique as Chicago is inundated with trainers who use punishment to train dogs. Positive reinforcement trainers are hard to find. We're lucky to have Tucker Pup's looking out for our dogs' best interests!
- Cynthia Fife-Townsel
Great instructor and training! Would recommend to others with new puppies. Our pup was very timid during the first sessions during play time and by the last session, she was eager to play and fully running around with the other pups. She also got to learn and understand the basic commands.

Allison was great with Raider + us! We learned a lot and have seen him grow so much! he is on the younger side for training, but it helped us make him a smart city dog and she also took extra time with any concerns we had. I have reccoed to a few friends because of our experience. I think we will let him get a little older before we consider more training, but if we do the intermediate class or a private lesson we will use Tucker Pup's in the future!!
- Lyndsey Tierney
Caitlin was great! So patient and knowledgeable. All our friends say that Oggy is such a good pup, and it’s partly due to her!
- Shannon Shepherd
We are doing private training with Natalie and went to a puppy social yesterday, both are wonderful! Thanks for taking such good care of our Puck 🥰
- Elysia Cappellucci
Fabulous puppy social! Already booked our second one.
- Mary D’Angelo
Courtney was excellent for Dropoff Training. She was able to explain to us everything she was teaching Maya, able to explain how to continue the training at home, and as a result we have seen major progress since we started training a month ago.
- James Forrest
My puppy Hugo and I attended the Confidence Builder social. It was an amazing experience. Jamie was very knowledgeable and gave helpful feedback. I will definitely be returning for the Tiny Tots social! Thank you for your services!!!
- Gina Galderio
The Whippernappers puppy social was amazing! Our 11 week Bernese had the best time!
- Katrina Carrizales
We worked with Courtney for Nellie's dropoff training. Nellie and I both love Courtney and thought she did an excellent job at both training Nellie and me! She was knowledgeable, very flexible in adapting the training to fit Nellie's personality, and made Nellie feel so safe and excited! If we return for any training at Tucker Pups, we will definitely be requesting to work with Courtney!
- Megan New
Susy is very personable and seeks to assist in all areas and check in on all pets and humans. If something didn’t work well, we found a different route for my unique pup. Overall, I appreciate Susy and look forward to keeping on implementing what we learned
- Brooke Buttacavoli
Courtney provided another great puppy social! Khaleesi had a blast the whole time and was exhausted when she got home. Courtney does a great job narrating how the puppies are interacting with one another and guiding us during the training breaks.
- Alex Stogin
Angela was great, she was able to help each puppy individually. I also really appreciated her educational approach. My puppy LOVED her too. I also really appreciated her engagement and involvement with all of the puppies while they were playing.
- Angela Cleary
This is my second session with Angela, and my dog Ezra's behavior has GREATLY improved. The tools and assignments she gave us helped him to become a more confident dog. I really appreciate the schedule options which allowed me select a training from home that worked for me. I will continue to reinforce the training we received, and I know Ezra will continue to get better. I am very pleased with how Angela teaches. Thank you very much!
- Lynette O'Neal
Marnie was so great and made us feel much more confident with our reactive dog. We loved her positive approach and dog-first mentality. We just want to understand our dog and make things easier for him. Marnie goes above and beyond and we are so grateful!
- Matthias Mackay
First time at puppy social class. Courtney was great at explaining and helping us get started on the training process.
- Carolyn Joseph
Susy was an amazing trainer for our Puppy Manners course. She was patient and helpful with the pups of all levels. The videos accompanying the course were also so phenomenal - we will certainly be continuing to use those in the coming months before enrolling in the next course!
- Emily Sanderson
Cailin was amazing! She was always extremely helpful and available to answer all of my questions! I loved that she was able to troubleshoot in-time problems with different tips and tricks. She also provided so many helpful foundational tools to apply for my puppy. We can't wait to see her again soon!
- Lindsey Vierow
Angela was absolutely fantastic. She helped our pup progress in ways we did not expect and gave us accessible and practical tools to carry the training forward. We're so grateful for her clarity, expertise, humor, and care for our pup!
