Claire Laster, CPDT-KA - Dog Trainer at Tucker Pup's
Claire Laster, CPDT-KA
Dog Trainer



I provide private lessons and group classes at Tucker Pup's.

My passion for dogs started at an early age, when I became the neighborhood pet sitter and dog walker. As began to work with hundreds of dogs in the different daycares around the city, I realized how vital and beneficial having a solid and compassionate understanding with your pet is. I hope to work with owners and their pups to strengthen that bond, and to help create the ideal loving relationship we all strive to have with our dogs!

Work Experience

Before my current role, I taught Dropoff Training and puppy socials, and trained dogs here for Stay and Train.

Prior to Tucker Pup's, I was a receptionist at several large dog businesses in Chicago. I also worked as a dog handler and dog walker. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in customer service and dog behavior.

Testimonials


We loved our Puppy Manners training class and Claire was a great instructor! Each week checkins felt personalized so that our pup could make the best progress he could and Claire offered custom solutions for any specific issues Franklin was having.

Claire was great, she explained thing very well and Gracie really liked working with her. Would for sure use her again for Gracie's next training sessions.
