Dog Trainer

My Role at Tucker Pup's

I provide Dropoff Training and our Stay and Train service, plus teach puppy socials.

Animal Experience

Before becoming a dog trainer at Tucker Pup's, I worked at Anti-Cruelty for six years. Anti-Cruelty is the oldest and largest shelter in Chicago. While there, I saw firsthand how dogs just needed some training, and this led me to pursue becoming a full-time trainer.

I have also gone through behavioral modification training with my own dogs.

Why I Became a Dog Trainer

I have always had an interest in the way dogs think and behave. I believe that it is important to have an understanding between dog and owner to create harmony in the home. I also strongly believe in positive reinforcement training tactics, and strive to teach others how to apply them.

Future Goals

To become a certified dog trainer that specializes in behavioral modification, tackling difficult issues such as separation anxiety, leash reactivity, and much more.

Testimonials


We attended the puppy social for the first time Saturday with our pup, Ollie. I was so impressed by the trainer Phaedra's attention to all the pups and people. She was very knowledgeable and helped ease our minds about our little one's first time interacting with others. It was such a great experience that we'll be back next week!

The puppy social was great. Lola loved it and it was exactly what we were hoping for. We were very impressed with Phaedra's knowledge and learned a lot from her tips. She was excellent!

Thanks,

Jim and Trista Bordignon
