We began bringing our dog to Pupscouts when she was four months old for basic obedience training and were immediately impressed with Pup Scouts, and particularly with Jane, the owner. Since that time, we have taken advantage of many of the training classes offered at Pupscouts (obedience, Agility, and also fun ones like Games class and Tricks class). The classes (all positive-reinforcement based) are a great way to bond with your dog and to benefit from a highly experienced dog trainer . My husband and I have really enjoyed all the classes and learned so much, not to mention that we now have a very well trained dog! She even passed her Canine Good Citizen test, no doubt due to the excellent training she received at Pup Scouts. We plan to train our dog to be a therapy dog in the future and this would definitely not be a possibility were it not for all the great training she has received at Pup Scouts!\r

Our dog also comes to Pupscouts for daycare on a weekly basis. She absolutely loves it, and like some of the other reviewers have also noted about their dogs, she begins wagging her tail and letting out happy little whines of excitement when we turn on Armory Dr. In fact, we can't even say ""Pupscouts"" unless we are headed out the door to go there because she knows what it means and gets so excited! \r

The facility is always clean and I've always been amazed that it doesn't stink or smell ""doggy"" at all. The staff is kind to my dog. The dogs are carefully screened for compatibility with the other dogs prior to coming to daycare. They take great care of the dogs when they are there. They have a ""nap time"" each day and the staff even put out a baby pool in the summer for the dogs to splash around in. There is a large area indoors to play in if it is too cold, hot, or rainy to be outside. She is always exhausted when she comes home and a tired dog is a happy dog! I am very protective of my dog but I don't worry a bit when she is at Pup Scouts because she is in the best of hands and having a great time! \r
