What is Dog Scouts?
Dog Scouts of America (D.S.A.) is a non-profit organization founded in Michigan in 1999 by Lonnie Olson for dogs and their people. The goals of DSA are to promote responsible pet parenting and the importance of the human/canine bond. This is summarized with the phrase “Socialize, Train, Neuter and Contain.”
Troop Activities: Hikes, Games, Crafts, Community Service, Quarterly Meetings, Training Sessions, Water Fun, and more!
Badges!
Just as with other scouting organizations, Dog Scouts can earn badges. These are more than cute little patches; they signify a significant amount of training and learning as well as the level of communication and bond between the dog and parent. Each badge has requirements for the dog and the parent to learn and these might take a lot of work.
Badge Work: Leash Walking, Recalls, Leave-Its, Swimming, Painting, Band, Backpacking, Letterboxing, Hiking, Freestyle, Scent Work, Search & Rescue, Community Service, and more!
