Hi, I’m Karen Tucker, a dedicated Canine Coach with a passion for setting puppies and their owners up for success. With years of experience in responsible breeding, puppy socialization, and early training, I specialize in guiding new puppy parents through the critical early weeks of development.


I founded A Pawsitive Start: Raising a Happy, Confident Puppy to provide expert coaching, self-guided courses, and practical resources tailored to puppies aged 7–12 weeks. My approach is rooted in science-based, force-free training that fosters confidence, socialization, and a strong bond between you and your pup.


How I Can Help:

🐶 Personalized Puppy Coaching – One-on-one guidance to navigate socialization, potty training, crate training, and basic manners.

📚 Expert-Led Courses – Self-paced learning with structured lessons, downloadable resources, and step-by-step training.

🐾 Supportive Community – Join a judgment-free space where new puppy owners can share, learn, and grow together.


I believe every puppy deserves a pawsitive start in life, and I’m here to help you make that happen. Let’s build a foundation for a well-adjusted, well-mannered, and happy pup—together!
