Cailin is an amazing trainer. We loved the Adult Manners class so much. She clearly cares very much about dogs and their humans. She was confident and patient, and that imbues confidence in students. The class was fun for our whole family and we learned a ton! Thanks to Cailin's excellent teaching, we will be back for Intermediate Manners this winter.

- Sara Popenhagen
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!
