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 2024, 32 participants with their dogs attended summer camp where 108 badges were awarded. In 2024 DSA added a fall intensive training weekend program. 0 21244 Recognition Program-DSA's 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 with new badges being added each year. 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, DSA's 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. 0 1271 Education Outreach - DSA's 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 millions 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.In 2024 DSA reached out to participants across the U.S. and internationally by conducting two virtual training camps. 0 958 23473 Melissa Matteson Chairman of the Board 2.00 0 0 0 Shari Throop Director 2.00 0 0 0 Maureen Callahan Director 2.00 0 0 0 Leah Lane Director 2.00 0 0 0 Martha Thierry Director 7.00 600 0 0 Sally Hoyle President 20.00 0 0 0 Barbara Whiting Treasurer 10.00 1100 0 0 Shirley Conley Vice President 5.00 0 0 0 Lonnie Olson Founder 15.00 4255 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 193633 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MI Lonnie Olson 5040 Nestel Road East Saint Helen MI 48656 9893892000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 22002 15088 14851 19466 22626 94033 35001 42354 38061 31790 34563 181769 5949 8909 8792 5782 9819 39251 62952 66351 61704 57038 67008 315053 6862 4937 4140 5455 5276 26670 0 6862 4937 4140 5455 5276 26670 288383 62952 66351 61704 57038 67008 315053 0.91530 0.93150 0.00000 X Londa Olson Founder Land Purchase X 350000 193633 0 0 0 193633 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 7 - Sales of Inventory Income: Gross Receipts: 4,334.
