Socialization with friendly people and dogs.

Option to add on Special Merit Badge sessions for $50 each (see options below).
Daily Videos, your favorite part of the day! Each day the trainer is going to send you a high-quality video starring your dog showing off what they learned today. It’s a great way for you to stay in the loop until the last day in person consultation with the trainer.
Homework for the Family: After camp, the trainer will be following up with you by emailing you some “homework”. Don’t stress out! It’s just some simple instructions we’ve made that will help you understand how to continue the skills training and pack leader mentality in your own household.
Initial Consultation and the Exit Consultation with the Trainer
Unlimited family “hang out visits” to Poochie’s Park including dog park access for you and your pup while enrolled in camp.
The official uniform of the Scouts, your pup's own Lil' Scouts Bandana! We'll sew all the merit badges they earn to it.
At Graduation: One Official Certificate of Course Completion and One Month Membership to the Dog Park plus key fob!
TWO "Follow Up" Private Lessons after course completion.

*Your pup will be playing outside every day! We recommend a trip to our Pet Spa be added on the 7th day and last day.

The initial consultation is 30 minutes with you and your dog. During your meet n’ greet, the trainer will evaluate your dog’s focus and responsiveness to commands during basic testing sessions. From that assessment, they’ll be able to determine where on “The Scouts Trail” to start your pup’s journey. You’ll be given an outline of your dog’s personalized 2-week training plan.

*Must be friendly with other dogs to start training! During the consultation, if your pup is unconfident or overreactive with others then the trainer may recommend between 1 to 3 days of our socialization training before starting on “The Scouts Trail”.

Every two-week section of the Trail ends with a very happy day for the whole family, it’s pick up day! After the hugs and excitement have settled down then you get to meet again with the trainer. Your dog has now earned the title of Lil’ Scout! At this consultation you’ll get an earful of knowledge about how to continue progress at home, very important. You’re always invited to reach out to your trainer again with questions anytime!

Your favorite part of the day! Each day the trainer is going to send you a high-quality video starring your dog showing off what they learned today. It’s a great way for you to stay in the loop until the last day in person consultation with the trainer. Here’s some examples!

At each level of their journey, The Scouts are awarded official merit badges when they master a specific skill. It’s a very proud moment when we get to sew a badge to your dog’s Lil Scout Bandana!

$50 for any 40-minute session added

We’ve got some Special Merit Badges you will love! They are pay per session 40-minute add-ons to your pup’s day. They are only for Lil’ Scouts that are currently enrolled or have already completed a section of the Trail. There’s no set time frame expectation on how long it takes to learn a certain Special Merit Badge. A merit badge is awarded once the skill is mastered.
