The Lil’ Scouts’ basecamp is inside the incredible Poochie’s Park, an 8-acre mixture of nature, amusements, art, and comfortable facilities all for friendly dogs and the people who love them!
Join us today and discover the joy of watching your dog grow into a well-rounded, highly trained, highly socialized Lil’ Scout!
Watch the moment "it clicks" for Callie! This is a short clip from Callie's first lesson learning, "Leave-It." Her face lights up with pride each time she does the correct behavior!
What does "Leave-It" mean? It means do not look at or touch the object they are engaging with in that moment. Callie will need a few more sessions before her "Leave-It" is reliable in real-world situations outside of practice. We are excited to have her learn with us and watch her progress!
