Dog Walking
The Pawsitopia Difference: As the only certified dog trainer in Truckee offering group adventure walks, Pawsitopia stands apart by providing expert care and enrichment that goes beyond the typical dog walk. While other services may be cheaper or offer longer walks to tire your dog out, Pawsitopia focuses on quality, not just quantity.
With my background as a certified force-free, positive reinforcement trainer, I design every adventure to enrich your dog’s mind and body, creating a more balanced, happy companion. Here's why Pawsitopia is the better choice:
Certified Expertise: As an experienced certified trainer, I ensure each walk is both fun and safe, using ethical, force-free methods.
More Than Just Exercise: Instead of simply tiring your dog out, I provide enrichment that supports behavior and well-being.
Tailored to Your Dog: Unlike generic, one-size-fits-all services, I tailor each adventure to fit your dog’s unique needs.
Group Adventures with Guidance: While others may offer group walks, Pawsitopia’s are led by a skilled trainer who ensures the safety and positive interaction of all dogs involved.
A Happier, More Fulfilled Dog: With expert training and thoughtful care, your dog will return home calm, happy, and better behaved.
Trust Pawsitopia for a service that’s about more than just walking—it’s about giving your dog the expert care and enriching adventures they truly deserve.
Group adventure Walks
$50 for at least 1 hour Group Outing
*Initial consult/meet and greet is required and costs $50. If you sign up for adventures this will be applied to your first walk.
*Eligible candidates must weigh under 75 lbs
*Must commit to one regular day per week.
My group adventure walk option, with pick-ups, drop-offs and transportation, usually has your dog out of the house for 2-3 hours at a time, with a guarantee of a 1-hour minimum walk. I carefully curate small groups, and will never have more than 4 dogs per group, ensuring each dog received individual care and attention. I believe that although exercise is extremely important, mental stimulation is just as, if not more important, which is why we work on training while we’re hiking. During our adventures your dog will get a chance to socialize with canine cohorts, brush up on their basic manners and get out some much needed ya-yas! hiking. I offer the TOTAL package!
*Most of these walks will be off-leash. I walk rain or shine, unless there are extreme storms or extreme heat or extreme smoke. I reserve the right to cancel if the conditions are unsafe for driving and walking.
*All candidates for Group Adventure Walks must be 6 months and older, 75 lbs. or less, up-to-date on DHPP and Rabies vaccines, spayed/neutered, licensed and currently on flea and tick prevention.
*Pawsitopia serves Truckee for Solo Neighborhood Walks, Solo Decompression Walks and Dog Walking Adventures.
Solo Neighborhood Walks
$35 for a 30 minute neighborhood walk/$65 for 60 minute neighborhood walk
Solo neighborhood walks are for introverted dogs who prefer to enjoy their neighborhood in the company of their favorite dog professional. They’re able to sniff, stroll and take in their surroundings while getting individual attention in a known environment in which they’re comfortable and happy.
*Eligible candidates must weigh under 80 lbs.
*Holiday Fees apply to all services
