Dogs Leaders Guide

The Dogs Module helps boys learn how to care for dogs while discovering what a dog’s loyal love can teach us about God’s love—and how we are called to love others.

 

Practical Purpose: Equip boys to understand the responsibilities of caring for a dog while helping them see how love is expressed through attention, kindness, and daily actions.

 

Boys Will Learn:

 

  • What dogs need to be healthy, happy, and well-cared for—food, exercise, grooming, training, and affection.

  • How a dog’s loyalty and response to loving care can illustrate how God loves us faithfully.

  • That love is practical, active, and meant to shape their everyday behavior toward family, friends, and others.

Projects:

 

  • Exploring dog-care basics such as feeding routines, grooming, exercise, and learning simple commands.

  • Observing how dogs show affection, trust, and loyalty through their behavior.

  • Completing Outpost Adventures Achievements that reinforce both responsible pet care and expressions of love.

Spiritual Goals:

 

  • Understand that God’s love is steady, personal, and faithful—far greater than even a loyal pet’s love.

  • Learn that loving others means showing kindness, patience, and care through their actions.

  • Recognize that everyday opportunities—at home, school, or in Stockade—are chances to reflect God’s love.
