Dog Scout Troop 173 Southern Georgia Scouting June Meeting

We are 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about responsible dog ownership, the important role of the human/canine bond and to challenge people and dogs to learn how to better serve each other.

It is the DOG that becomes a Dog Scout, so the individual at the loop end of the leash can be an adult or a child. We have programs for all ages!

As one of the leaders in dog education, our vast website is loaded with information on how to be a responsible dog owner and improve the relationship you have with your dog. Articles include training information for raising a new puppy, helpful tips on preventing or getting rid of behavior problems, and instruction and info for getting into dog sports and activities that you can enjoy with your dog. Dog Scouts do everything with positive training, and there is information on how to add clicker training, operant conditioning, and shaping to your dog training "toolbox," and how to use these tools to teach your dog what every good dog knows.

Our goal is to help every dog owner to value their companion more, and deepen the bond they have with their dog. With millions of dogs discarded each year, due to behavior problems or other poor excuses, we needed to fill the information void. We need to make each dog owner a responsible dog owner, and give them answers to perplexing behavior problems that eventually lead to them abandoning the dog.

Dogs are an absolute JOY to own, if people do it correctly. The reason dogs are dying in shelters is because there?s an awfully lot of people out there not doing it correctly! We?re helping people to not want to discard their dogs.
