Return to Manners Classes
This is a four-week mini-course that happens outdoors. We work on leash walking in real-life situations, including on sidewalks, at the park, under the el tracks, and past other dogs. The course addresses loose leash walking, jumping on people or dogs that you pass, and dealing with strange noises. This course does not address leash reactivity - this is covered in private lessons.
By conducting the course in the outdoors, we can more easily simulate real-world scenarios, noises, and distractions that you many encounter.
We meet at different locations in the West Loop - each course and date is slightly different. Each week, we will inform you each week of where we will be meeting. If a day is rained out, we will improvise, including going inside a store.
Please note that this class is not intended for overly reactive dogs who may exhibit overly aggressive behavior when passing other dogs or people. If you are wondering whether this is the right course for your dog, please contact our trainer - you may need private lessons, which we can provide.
Number of classes: 3
Time duration: 1 hour per class
Prerequisites: None

Tucker Pup's is considered an "essential business" and we are conducting training classes, puppy socials, and private lessons during the coronavirus outbreak. All events are being held outdoors, at either a park or in the Tucker Pup's fenced-in outdoor area. For classes held at a park, there will be no off-leash socialization component. All participants must stay at least 6-8 feet between each other. Private lessons are being held outdoors.
Nobody may participate who is showing symptoms of the illness or has tested positive.
Dogs need positive-reinforcement training and mental stimulation. Now is a great time to focus on improving your dog's behavior, while you may have downtime. Please keep in mind that they do not contract coronavirus.
All of our other services (daycare, grooming, boarding, and retail) are open as well, with some minor adjustments such as curbside checkin.

Sample Pullers & Jumpers Class (1:19)
We enjoyed the class. David was a good instructor and our dog came to enjoy him. He did a good job managing the different levels of dogs in the class.
