Testimonials

Cailin was amazing with my dog. Coming in my dog had major anxiety with grooming and before our last session my dog was able to get fully groomed with no issues. Tucker can now also come, sit, down, leave it, touch, and more all without any issues. I am getting compliments on how well behaved Tucker is and that is all because of Cailin. She went above and beyond to understand Tucker and get to know him and Tucker loves her. I couldn't be any happier with my experience!

- Taylor Koepke

Cailin is a terrific instructor. She was very knowledgeable and patient with both me and my shih tzu puppy. The Puppy Manners class was invaluable to his socialization, development, and discipline. I would highly recommend her/Tucker Pup's for every puppy in Chicago!

- Debra Siena

Cailin is fantastic--we have made great progress and she's provided valuable insight into Taos' behavior.
