What Our Customers Say:
- Nancy and JT Mills
We have been visiting Poochie’s Park with our dogs since 2006; however, this was first time we utilized their training services. Trinket participated in several classes, including “go to your place,” “walk up/downstairs,” and “load up.” The training proved highly effective and helped our timid dog become more at ease around unfamiliar people and other dogs. For instance, she had a fear of cars, requiring us to lift her into the vehicle The trainer approached this issue in stages and even introduced a “doggy mentor” who enjoyed car rides to guide her. They even took the dogs on a few short rides together!

I’ve been involved with Poochie’s Park for years and when it came time to get my German Shepherd puppy, Truffles, into some early training, I figured there was no better place to give it a shot. This was a sort of “trial run” for their new 1:1 training program called Lil’ Scouts, and honestly, they crushed it.
The trainers did a fantastic job working with Truffles on all the essential basics — sit, stay, lay down, come, leave it, and go to your place. They even worked on socialization, which was important since she was still a puppy and full of that wild energy.
What stood out most was how the trainers handled her with patience and consistency, while still making it fun. You can tell they actually care about the dogs and not just going through the motions. Truffles came back more confident, more obedient, and she honestly seemed to enjoy the whole experience.
If you’re on the fence about whether Lil’ Scouts at Poochie’s Park is the right place for training, I’d say go for it. They’ve got great people, real experience, and they treat your dog like one of their own.

The Lil’ Scouts 1-1 training at Poochie’s for our puppy, Caesar, has been a life-changer for our family. Communication is critical in any relationship, and it is no different when you are the owner of a loved pet🐾
Lil Scouts offer expert training in which they emphasize positive reinforcement and lots of patience and love❤️ They educate not only the pet, but, most importantly, the owner, by providing postcards from camp, a recording of the lesson and an instructive letter to the pet parent upon checkout.
Thank you, Lil’ Scouts (and Poochie’s), for teaching me how to communicate with Caesar and for teaching Caesar valuable lessons on how to sit, stay, wait, walk, “leave it” and socialize with other humans and other dogs. Because of your tremendous help with the basics, we could easily extend Caesar’s training at home to the point where now he has learned to ring a bell when he wants to go outside. Thank you, Lil’ Scouts❤️! We really would not have known where to start and how to do this without you!❤️❤️❤️

“I couldn’t be happier with the training my dog received at Lil’ Scouts. The trainers are highly skilled, and the small class sizes ensure each dog gets individual attention. My dog’s behavior has improved tremendously.”

“Lil’ Scouts is the best! Our dog used to be uncontrollable on walks, but after the training sessions, he walks calmly by our side. The trainers are supportive and provide excellent guidance for continued success at home.”
