includes traffic, crowds, noises, smells and other distractions that are present in a city or town.

earn the official AKC Urban CGC title.
Hybrid School
Hybrid School is divided into six levels. Your pup will be placed into their starting level after a
Training Evaluation (On Sale for $15 through 1/31/23) with Scout’s Honor owner and trainer Kristen Perrus. Your dog will progress at their own pace (and yours) through Scout’s Honor University as they accomplish and master specific skills in each level. Enrollment in Scout’s Honor University does not require a commitment to complete each level. Owners and dogs may start and stop as they please to accomplish their training goals.
Each level will have have a bi-weekly group class (starting February 2023) for you to learn and practice alongside your pooch. Enrollment in Hybrid School and/or Pack Membership grants access to an exclusive Facebook group (coming January 2023) with instructional handouts, videos, and an opportunity to ask a trainer for advice!
Hybrid school is a combination of Hybrid Camp and Day School Training. In between working with a trainer towards personalized training goals hybrid school students will be participate in enrichment activities such as agility, fetch, scent work, structured group play and more. Hybrid school is offered as a day training program and a board-and-train program Monday-Friday (expanding to 7 days per week spring 2023).
