What A Great Dog! Training Center

Only call when you're going to praise your dog - don't call your dog and then tell them off, as it means they will be less likely to come back next time you call. Run away a couple of paces then call your dog's name and say 'come' in a friendly, exciting tone - getting down low can also encourage them to come back.

Have A Question About Your Pets Behavior?

Our goal is that by the final class, your dog is not fazed by its surroundings, people, or other dogs, and it will be happy entering new environments. Training is provided by Tucker Pup's dog trainers and hosted at The Anti-Cruelty Society's Training Center at 157 W. Free parking is available on Wells Street, just south of Grand Avenue in the Society's parking garage. Not only will you and your pets be working together to live your best lives, but you’ll be helping future pets in need.
