Our owner and trainer Sam has always had a passion for animals ever since she was young. She grew up training all her families dogs and even one of her cats (yes, cats can be trained too.) A little back story, she originally went to school for film and multimedia, earning a bachelor of arts degree. She realized she was not entirely happy in that world and then along came her second dog Luna. Luna was a challenge, she was not the “typical” dog, she was nervous and scared of everything. Sam hired a trainer to come in and help and unfortunately that trainer made Luna worse. Since Sam had always loved training her own dogs she decided to enroll in ABC college where she earned her dog trainer certification, with the hopes to just help her own pup. During that time she was paired with a trainer who worked at All 4 Paws Training, they specialized in owner trained service dogs. She realized how much she loves working with dogs and their people, so she started Stellar Pups. You can still find her teaching group classes at All 4 Paws as well because she loves the company and what they do for their clients.

Sam is also currently pursuing canine nutrition and conditioning, so look out for those to be added to her services!
