Our Services
Whether it's mastering manners, making furry friends on social pack walks, or enjoying a cozy, luxury stay while you're away, we turn everyday moments into paw-sitive adventures. At Pawsome Skills, it's more than just training or walks—it's a lifestyle of fun, learning, and wagging tails. Let your dog thrive with us, one joyful step at a time!
Need to brush up on your dog’s recall? Want to improve your pup’s social skills? Or just need help providing exercise and enrichment in your busy life? Our Social Pack Walks are just what you’re looking for!
Led by our professional dog trainer, these 1.5-hour on- and off-leash adventures take place on beautiful trails throughout Truckee, CA. Your dog will join a small group of similarly tempered pups to explore, play, and learn in a safe, structured environment. After the outing, you’ll receive photos and updates, so you never miss a moment of the fun! Please plan for your dog to be out of the house for around 2-3hr on most days to account for pick-up and drop-off of all pack members and travel time to the walking destination for that day.
