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


I love Phaedra. She’s great! She is really focused on the safety of all puppies and engages with each human and puppy during the socials.

Phaedra was great and very on it during the puppy social! I felt like we were in good hands and a super safe and controlled socialization environment!

This was our third puppy social. We love Phaedra so much! She is engaged the entire session and knows each pup individually.
