Scholar in Collars provides the most comprehensive program due to our unique structure.
We separate your dog's education into 3 primary areas that are structured to complement each
other, why take several courses in a row when you can do it all at once:

Obedience - FAMILY PET OBEDIENCE CLASSES
Canine Parenting and Problem Solving - BEHAVIOR SEMINAR
Puppy Socialization & Manners - PUPPY DROP IN CLASS
This allows us to focus on each area in detail. All three are paramount to your puppy's development.
Each one enhances the other in order to have a truly complete education for your dog.

LEVEL 1 FAMILY PET OBEDIENCE CLASS
FOR PUPPIES AND DOGS OF ALL AGES (10 WEEKS IS IDEAL FOR PUPS)
* Puppies go right into Level One, due to our unique program structure there is no need to do a
Puppy Pre-Course prior to doing your real basic training in Level One.

This course is designed to give you the necessary tools to achieve an educated, obedient and happy dog
using scientifically proven positive methods. Dog training is a well studied field and ideas of dominance,
threat, fear and taking control have long been de-bunked and frankly recommended against due to the
risk of long-term negative behavioral side effects. It is unnecessary to have an adversarial relationship
with your dog in order to educate your canine companion. You will learn to teach your dog sit, down, stand,
stay, wait, come when distracted, to walk on a loose leash and most importantly to pay attention. A key to
our program is that you learn how distractions and temptations can work for you instead of against you.
You will learn to how to have an obedient dog without any harsh or threatening techniques. Training
should not be something you "subject" your dog to, but should be a fun activity you do together. A truly
happy well trained dog is buoyant and obedient and not the product of threat and suppression.

IS YOUR DOG OLDER AND NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PUPPY DROP IN?
It is recommended that you come to puppy drop in without your dog for a free session to learn skills and
information to work with at home and in the real world.

This drop in program is essential to kick off and compliment your obedience and behavior work. Your
puppy will learn to be appropriate with dogs, people, greeting strangers, examination, grooming, separation
and physical challenges while learning to pay attention to you. Critical development for puppies is actually
between 3-12 weeks of age so starting as close to 10 weeks as possible is recommended.
Puppies must have proof of most recent vaccination and must have been with you for two weeks.
