It offers leadership training and increases the level of training at both ends of the leash. DSA runs camps each summer as well as additional training opportunities during two weekend camps in the fall. In 2023, 24 participants with their dogs attended one of two camps and 61 badges were awarded during the two camps (See Recognition Program below. Recognition Program-DSAs badge and its competition/titling programs both encourage participants to get more involved with their dogs and within their communities. The badges and titles are earned when both human and dog demonstrate an understanding of the criteria for the badge. At this time here are more than 100 badges that can be earned as well as a number of titles. Each badge/title encourages interaction and continued learning on both ends of the leash as well as community interaction. The programs decrease the likelihood that a dog will be discarded at a shelter. In addition, DSAs certification program fosters troop development and trains leaders so that the DSA mission and activities can be shared on a local level all across the US and abroad. Education Outreach - DSAs website contains free information for the general public about how to be a responsible dog owner and improve the relationship between owners and their dogs. Dog Scout members do everything with reward-based training. The website provides information so owners can add clicker training, operant conditioning, and shaping to the dog training toolbox. These tools can be used to reach dogs everything from basis manners to specialized training! Our goal is to help every dog owner value his canine companion even more and deepen the bond the owners has with his dog. With milllions of dogs discarded each year, mostly due to behavioral problems or other poor excuses, we help fill the information void. We help dog owners become responsible and answer their problems. Lonnie Olson Services provided
