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


Courtney has been amazing with our pitty puppy Alfie. He’s done so well under her supervision and has gained great life skills that will impact us and him positively for all the years to come. I would recommended her to anyone looking for training. Overall I loved the concept of the dropoff training program as well, considering Alfie is very social and loves to play so it felt like a great balance.

George had the best time at Tucker Pup's! He learned so much from Courtney and will definitely miss her so much. Anytime we walk by now he wants to go in. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. Courtney was very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and accommodating. We can't thank you enough!
