Dog Trainer



My Role at Tucker Pup's

I teach Dropoff Training, puppy socials, and Stay and Train at Tucker Pups.

Training Background

Prior to Tucker Pup's, I was a dog trainer at a leading training facility in the Chicago suburbs. I have also been a trainer at Petco.

In addition, I have been a supervisor at a fear-free dog daycare facility. This has helped me better understand dog behavior in group play.

Why I Became a Dog Trainer

I grew up loving all animals and was almost certain I wanted to be a zookeeper. After graduating college I started working at Petco and loved watching the dog trainers train. They appreciated my work ethic and took a chance on me. I quickly found a new passion in dog training. It’s the best feeling when you help a family go from being stressed out with their new puppy to having such a beautiful bond and being proud of all the behaviors they taught their puppy! Everyone wants the best for their dogs, and I’m just here to help families do that.

My Pets

I have a 2.5 year old pit bull named Eevee Mae, who is my mini-me. Eevee has her "Do More With Your Dog, Novice Trick Dog" Title. She is so smart and we love to train together!

Testimonials


Attended my dog's first puppy social. Sadie is 14 weeks old and is still learning how to initiate play / learning when other puppies need a break from play. Courtney made all dogs feel comfortable and was very knowledgeable on social cues. Gave the class appropriate amount of training breaks for all dogs to reset. Overall very beneficial session and will be attending another in addition to the training classes we will be starting.

I attended four pup socials with Courtney and thought that she was great! I learned so much just listening to her and observing the puppies play together. It was one of the more informative learning / training experiences I’ve had. She was calm and personable, yet very professional. Would keep coming back if my puppy wasn’t too old!

Last night's puppy social was awesome! I was so impressed by the trainer, Courtney! Can’t wait to come back!
