Board and Train That Works in Riva, MD

Evan has been a fantastic trainer and guide, not just for the dogs, but for me as well. He’s incredibly patient, observant, and really takes the time to understand what’s going on with both the dogs and their human :). I’ve especially appreciated how he balances a relaxed, approachable style with a clear structure and firm boundaries. It never feels harsh — just consistent and fair. Every session leaves me feeling more confident and empowered to be a kind and great pack leader. He’s an absolute asset to your team, and I’m really grateful to be working with him.

My mini golden doodle Steve gives 2 paws up for Pup Scouts 🐾!! He loves their program and so do I. The scout leaders are professional and come to get Steve and drop him off so I don’t have to worry. The leaders help guide your pooch to learn how to walk with the pack so they get exercise, socialization, and training while on their walks. Since joining the scouts, Steve has pulled less on our walks so I know it is working and he is so happily tired when he gets home. It’s been a real pleasure working with Pup Scouts. Best value out there for your pup.

From the first interaction, it was clear that this is a team of dedicated professionals who truly love what they do. They are incredibly responsive and attentive… it’s evident that they prioritize the well-being of the dogs. Evan is nothing short of a magician. His expertise and passion shine through in the results we’ve seen with Ollie. Thanks to Pup Scouts, Ollie is not just a pet; he’s a happy and well-adjusted member of the family!

Our golden retriever Benny has gotten so much better with his comfort around other dogs, obedience, walking etiquette since starting pup scouts two months ago. We cannot say enough good things about the amazing walkers we have met and are so happy we found pup scouts. We wish we started it sooner!!
