Dog Walking Overview
Tucker Pup’s partners with trusted dog walking companies in Chicago to help maintain loose-leash walking, self-control, and great listening while on daily walks. The walkers are able to continue with methods taught in our training programs, so there is high consistency each day, leading to a happier dog and improving your life in the process.
Our partners uphold our high standards of excellence and customer service, are committed to the positive reinforcement philosophy, and are deeply knowledgeable about our training methods and programs. They maintain strong reputations—not only with our customers, but also on review sites and within the broader pet care community—and work closely with our dog trainers to ensure each walker supports your dog's behavior and well-being.

How it Works
First, we strongly recommend that you enroll in one of our training programs, such as a class, private lessons, or even behavioral modification program. We can provide private lessons at your home or our training facility, depending on your location and goals.
The walkers can supplement training, but they cannot be expected to simply "train" your dog without you fully participating in the process. If you don't know the commands and techniques, the consistency will be lost and your dog will likely revert to old habits.
Three-way collaboration
As an option, one of our trainers can meet with you and your dog walker to discuss challenges you may be facing, so we can create a plan together. All three can then stay connected in order to help address behaviors that may arise. We can speak with the walker as necessary to help ensure they are implementing the strategies.
Please note that if we attend a meeting, this would be considered a private lesson and we would charge accordingly.
Pay each business separately
Please note that you must contact and pay our partners directly for dog-walking services, and we have no liability for any issues that may arise. In addition, the dog walking company would keep keys as necessary - we do not store keys at Tucker Pup's.
