Maureen was excellent. Our Pittie/staffie pup went from needing fences and sheets between him and strangers (sessions 1-4) to having Maureen doing home visits and, during our last session, allowing me and my partner to leave him and Maureen alone in the house. The progress has been outstanding, and we’ll continue to use Tucker Pups—Maureen specifically—for future training needs.

The Whippersnappers puppy social was as good for the humans as it was for the dogs. The leaders, Phaedra and MJ, were good at coaching/explaining

The Whippersnapper puppy social was such a great experience for my 15 week old golden retriever. Helena and MJ were excellent and it was such a positive experience - we’ll be back!

Leia loved Natalie! It was very helpful participating in the Puppy Starter Program as a first-time dog owner. Natalie came to our apartment and gave us advice on how to help Leia become independent, gave ideas for enrichment activities, and guided us on how to expose Leia to the outside world.

Whittaker and I had a great time at the puppy social! The structure of play and training is perfect for his phase of puppy and he learned a lot! The trainers were great, always sharing information of what to look for, when to intervene, and of course they just love the dogs! Can't wait to be back.

Courtney was always on time and helpful. I'm transitioning to group classes now, but happy I had some private sessions to begin with.

Puppy socials are amazing week over week!!!

Courtney was so helpful and gave me a new dog mom a ton of information and resources. I feel like I can actually handle raising my puppy now.

Helena and MJ were spectacular! My dog loves them so much. She’s very shy around other dogs and they did a great job encouraging her to be comfortable.

Ozzie had a great time at puppy social and Helena and MJ were wonderful trainers with lots of helpful tips!
- Janna Shell
Helena and MJ were great in the puppy social! They were kind and knowledgeable. The obedience and body language tips were SO helpful. Helena handled the room of rambunctious puppies like a champion, all while managing teaching the humans. We were SO impressed with everything, and our chaotic puppy was happy and tired after. Thank you!
