"I used their services to train my dogs to walk without pulling excessively, and the results have been fantastic! I can now walk my dogs without any issues. The training was done by E, who is absolutely wonderful!

Additionally, I have them take my dogs on pack walks once a week, which has been an excellent service as well!"
"Having a puppy is hard work so THANK GOODNESS I have MD Pup Scouts on my team! We've only had the initial consultation and 1 lesson so far and I am blown away by the knowledge and expertise. I've had dogs growing up my whole life and I'm doing it all differently this time with the help from the dog experts. Can't wait for our 2nd session next week! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I cannot recommend E highly enough for her incredible work with our young puppy. From the very first meeting, it was clear that E is a natural with dogs. Our puppy was instantly charmed by her warm demeanor and engaging approach, which made the training process enjoyable for both our furry friend and us.

"We adopted a four year old rescue that had never been on a leash. E from MD Pup Scouts did such an incredible job working with Gracie (dog) and us. We could see Gracie’s confidence soar after each session and Gracie loves going on walks now. Highly recommend MD Pup Scouts- the best investment we could have made for our new dog."

E’s techniques were not only easy to implement but also had almost immediate results. She has a unique ability to connect with dogs and understand their needs, and it showed in how quickly our puppy adapted to her guidance. E didn't just train our dog; she also took the time to train us, equipping us with the knowledge and skills to continue fostering good behavior at home.

"We have had a wonderful experience with both the pack walks and individual private training. “E” is an incredible trainer and a lovely person! We needed to address some unwanted behaviors in our young husky/retriever mix and she worked with all of us to get us into a much better place. Our dog is a happy, well-behaved member of our pack now! E helped us to better understand the root of our puppy’s unwanted behaviors and how to effectively shift them. We still have weekly pack walks and our dog is always so excited to meet up with E or any of the walkers who come to help him board the bus for his adventures!"
