      Jefrrel E.

      Orange County, CA

      Definitely recommend, my boy Aussie loves his weekly walks with Pup Scouts. His pack walker can be downstairs across the courtyard and he’ll get all excited cause somehow he knows shes here and its about to be a fun day. I love that they send pictures of the walks with a message of how things went. I have also noticed Aussie’s confidence around dogs has improved, which is one of the reasons we started. Provides him with good socialization.

      Pup Scouts has been an absolute god send to us and our furry muppet, Stella. She’s naturally timid and fearful but through her pack walks has gained so much socialization and new friends! We adore all the walkers but have to say, Miranda is THE BEST! Thank you OC Pup Scouts!!!

      I called Pup Scouts after seeing one of their pack vans in my neighborhood and I’m so glad I did. I can’t say enough good things about the team at Pup Scouts. My Australian Shepherd has been doing pack walks with them for some time now, I’m confident he’s in great hands and and I’m so glad he’s able to exert energy while I’m at work. The pack leaders are wonderful and they always send the best pictures after the walk. Pup Scouts has events too and I’m looking forward to participating in those as well. Highly recommend!
