    It is with great enthusiasm that I write this review for PupScouts! We have use pack walking services, grooming and training for our 2 year old English Lab, Murphy. The business model is amazing and the services are THE BEST. Each experience, every interaction- is nothing less than stellar. The pack leaders are impeccably trained and genuinely seem to love the work. Bryce, the groomer, is incredibly skilled and friendly and does a great job with our exceptionally furry boy. E., the trainer is beyond special! She is so knowledgeable and talented. The services have surpassed each and every one of our expectations and we are proud to be part of the PupScouts family.

    We LOVE the pup scouts team. Pack walks have been wonderful for our girl. The whole team takes such great care of Penny and the communication is incredible. Working with E to help train our dog was such an amazing experience. Her knowledge is extensive and she cares so deeply about supporting you and your dog. In just a few short weeks, our dogs behavior has done a full 180 and we are so grateful!

    Redd

    Annapolis, MD

    Hiring PupScouts has been life-changing! E worked wonders with Redd, our anxious southern stray, succeeding where others couldn’t. Over the past couple years, Penelope, Sarah, and Olivia have been amazingly patient, reliable, and sweet to our furry friends. We even trusted Penelope for our first overnight in our home, something we’ve never done for fear of Redd escaping due to storms or windy days. Their care & skill, mean everything to our family.

    I am so impressed with Pup Scouts! Through their pack walking and training services, my noise anxious puppy has gained so much confidence. Because of their expert trainers we have a very well behaved puppy (especially with jumping on house guests and barking). Thank you MD Pup Scouts❤️
