Maui & Malo are busy bodies! They need help with being less impulsive. Patience, clear communication, and repetition lead them to success!

Here they are practicing "Place." They are taught not to leave their spot until they are dismissed. This can be a useful tool in many different scenarios!

Distractions are everywhere! Here, Callie is practicing "Come" during play time. "Come" should not always be followed by something the dog perceives as a negative consequence. Like going inside from the yard or bath time.

At Lil' Scouts, we can help you learn how to work your pup through different situations and build better focus!

Like most puppies, Luna is curious and playful! This was her second lesson with us, and she did great! The main skills we focused on were "Come" and leash manners. Per owner request, she was also taught "Stay."

Taking your pup on adventures to dog friendly places has many benefits. Remember to set your pup up for success on trips like these! Consider their threshold tolerance, bring their favorite rewards along for those training moments, and remember to bring along your patience!

Here at Lil' Scouts we work on building a strong obedience foundation, alongside teaching your pup how to handle a variety of situations. This not only strengthens their bond with you as they seek your guidance, it also builds their confidence!

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!
