Hi Everyone! After yet another move I think it’s time I reintroduced myself again and told ya’ll a bit about my services!

I’m Samantha (Sam)and I’m a certified force-free dog walker through DogBiz Dog Walking Academy and a certified dog trainer through the Dog Training Internship Academy.

After 5 years working tirelessly in animal rescue, I decided to launch Pawsitopia, a dog walking adventure company in Alameda, CA in 2014, where I spent 7 joyful years romping in the Oakland hills with my amazing client pups.

I moved to Portland, OR in the Spring of 2021, during which time I enrolled in and graduated from DTIA and relaunched Pawsitopia in Portland, focusing on adventure walks AND private dog training.

Pawsitopia has recently (spring 2024) moved to Truckee, CA and continue to offer private dog training and walking services.

I love working with young, pro-social dogs on out-in-the-world training, training walks, impulse control, leash manners, relaxation training, recall and core behaviors.

Getting pups ready for adventure walks and helping them learn that the world can be a blast and how to navigate meeting dogs, people, experience new places, etc., brings me exponential joy!

The techniques that I apply to dog training, as well as dog walking, are science-based, ethical and humane methods. I believe our job as pet care givers is creating a relationship with our pets based on respect, kindness, agency and choice.

Adventure walk clients get weekly off-leash excursions in a small, carefully curated group of dogs, where they have the opportunity to socialize with their canine cohorts, brush up on basic manners, and decompress in a stress-free environment.

My Adventure walk clients must live in Truckee, CA, weigh 55 lbs. and under, be spayed or neutered and social with both dogs and people.

For training, I serve the wonderful community of Truckee.

In my down time, you can catch me hiking with my own pup June, camping, paddling, snuggling up on the couch with a good book, geeking out on dogs with my fellow dog nerds, and exploring the Sierras with my husband Nic.

I don’t know about you, but I, as a human, need positive reinforcement too. Being a dog trainer is so fulfilling and rewarding, especially when you get to work with a team like Alta and his mom (the author of this very kind review). They put in so much work and were truly dedicated to helping their dog live a better life, while also making positive behavior change. Dream teams like this make me so proud of the work I do!❤️🥹
