Katie’s Story
In San Juan Capistrano, this shy young English Shepherd learned to feel confident around other dogs thanks to Pup Scouts.

Pack Walking
San Juan Capistrano, CA
The backstory
Katie was a sweet, smart English Shepherd, but around other dogs, she clammed up. Her shyness made it hard for Kimberly to help her socialize the way she knew was important, especially during such a formative stage in Katie’s development.
A good recommendation and the convenience of Pup Scouts made the decision easy. Kimberly wanted a gentle, structured way to ease Katie into group settings, and she knew she needed help from a team that understood both dog behavior and how to build confidence safely.
The Pup Scout
Difference
Since starting pack walks, Katie has blossomed. The consistent exposure to new dogs in a calm, managed setting helped her build confidence without fear. Day by day, she’s become more comfortable, not just tolerating the presence of other dogs but genuinely enjoying their company.
For Kimberly, the transformation has been exactly what she hoped for. Katie is still her sweet self, but now with a social spark and growing courage. Pup Scouts didn’t just get her moving, they helped her grow.
“Katie is more confident with new dogs. This is a great way to socialize young dogs in a safe and structured way.”
