    Steve

    Orange County, CA

    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.

    Pack walks have been amazing for my new young rescue dog. She's friendly, but also a bit feral and timid. At the recommendation of our trainer, we signed her up with Pup Scouts and the walks have boosted her confidence in meeting new people and dealing with new places & experiences, and especially loud noises (like landscapers or construction noise). She gets to have a ton of fun and be with other dogs (and learn from them too). I like also that they assess the dogs before taking them on, and that it's a structured walk with experienced handlers.

    Ollie & Charley

    Orange County, CA

    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!

    Orange County, CA

    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!!

    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.
