We first met Phaedra at a puppy play session, and I immediately noticed how attentive and caring she was with all the dogs. When I found out she’d be Yiyi’s trainer for dropoff training, I had a good feeling about it - and I was absolutely right!

Phaedra always prioritized Yiyi’s feelings and well-being throughout the entire process. Yiyi has some very typical shiba quirks and might not be the most obedient pup, but Phaedra was so understanding and patient with her. She also explained to me the "why" behind Yiyi’s behaviors and how to work with her personality rather than against it. Her insights really helped me understand Yiyi better and figure out how to connect with Yiyi in a way that actually works for us.

Beyond just basic training techniques, Phaedra gave us so many helpful tips that made a real difference. But what really stood out was how she taught us to maintain a healthy mindset during training - for both me AND Yiyi - so we wouldn't get too frustrated. I'd honestly never thought about that before, but it was such a game-changer in helping us stay positive and patient with each other.

Phaedra was also incredibly responsive and thorough in her communication, which meant so much to me. She was also really flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated.

Throughout the whole process, I could see that Phaedra's care for Yiyi was genuine and her passion for training was real. She never did the bare minimum - she always gave us more than we expected. Through working with Phaedra, Yiyi grew into a better-behaved pup, and I grew into a better dog mom who truly understands her dog. Thanks to Phaedra, Yiyi and I have a stronger bond and a happier life together. I can’t thank her enough.

In just one month, Yiyi (a very strong-willed shiba 🥰) has made AMAZING progress. I’m confident that other dogs would see the same or even better results with Phaedra's help. Phaedra is truly an EXCEPTIONAL trainer, and we’re so grateful Tucker Pup's brought us together!
