Francesca, Zeus, Tooter, Kingston, Simba, Buddy, Brody, Koda and Jasper started their day training sessions today!

Day Training is our Tuesday/Thursday school day for dogs! Owners get to drop pups off in the morning and pick up tired family members in the evening! During their day they learn new skills, play with friends, get out on the town, go for hikes and more!

Day training is perfect for energetic pups needing an outlet, new puppies, and dogs that just need some polishing up on their obedience.

We are now accepting February day training pups, but spots go quickly so reserve yours now!

DITCH the DISH!

Most of our days start with feeding our best friends. In a sense we start the day with GOLD!!
What do we do with all that value, all that goodness, all that potential? We put it on the floor. Food is more than just calories for your dogs. Let them use their powerful brains with a puzzle toy or let them start the day with a little quiet time, try a stuffed toy or slow feeder. Try scatter feeding or Find it. Live your best reinforcement rich life and start the day with a bond boosting training sesh! But don't let all that value go to waste!

A very thoughtful gift from some of the wonderful friends I get to call coworkers. Also peep the fact SiCA will be FIVE this year!

While I may be the only "boss" at Scholars in Collars, it wouldn't be half as amazing without Michelle running Saturday classes, John with his Uncle John's band, Kyla our designated cuddler and referee for groups, and Tyana our private trainer who also does an amazing job with our Day Training Dogs.

Forever grateful to our SiCA family 💜.

Happiest New Year Cheer to all our SiCA family!

I could get in my feels every day about how incredibly lucky I am to get to work with dogs every day, with my favorite people by my side.

I am so grateful to the best clients I could have ever imagined that show up for us week after week, and year after year.

To be trusted with someone's best friend is something we don't take lightly. They really do become our best friends too.

Seeing skills click, seeing fearful dogs gain their confidence, watching dogs we've known since puppies get a little more mature every year.

Seeing clients smiles as we share about their dogs day, seeing the lightbulb go off when something in class makes sense. Laughing at their dogs antics together.

Scholars in Collars will never be the biggest training center, but it will always be a family where you know exactly who is taking care of your best friend. 💜

You go to make your morning coffee and someone snatches it from your hands and says no.
Maybe they were just playing, you tug on it to get it back and get scolded.
Fine, you'll just go get the other person in the house. The door gets shut right in your face.
You finally start scrolling through Facebook, laughing loudly and that is wrong too.

Talk about a frustrating morning! You didn't know the coffee was too hot, or that someone was sleeping. You just couldn't make a "right" choice.

This is the daily reality for many young dogs. They're just following their natural instincts—chewing, playing, biting, barking, but often, those natural behaviors get met with a no. Simply don't do that. They don't understand why or what they should do instead.

At Scholars in Collars Academy, we believe in turning every No into a Yes.

Don't bite me? Bite the toy!
Don't chew the chair? Chew your bone!
Don't jump for attention? Sitting gets you pets!
Don't bark at the window? Here's a stimulating Kong instead!

We teach you and your pup how to channel those innate behaviors into appropriate, happy outlets. Our Group Classes offer a fun, social environment for learning, while our Day Training programs provide intensive, personalized guidance for busy schedules.

Let's transform frustration into understanding and build a stronger, happier bond with your best friend!

It’s Not Defiance—It’s Difficulty.

Do you ever feel like your dog is "just being stubborn" or trying to give you a hard time? At Scholars in Collars Academy, we see things a little differently.

There is a powerful saying in the training world: Your dog isn't giving you a hard time; they are HAVING a hard time.

Whether it’s lunging on the leash, ignoring a recall, or struggling with anxiety, these behaviors are rarely about "dominance" or "naughtiness." Usually, it’s a sign that the environment is too overwhelming, the task is too complex, or they simply haven't learned how to navigate their big feelings yet.

Why Empathy Changes Everything

When we shift our perspective from frustration to empathy, the bond with our dogs transforms. Training isn't about "fixing" a broken dog; it's about:

* Building Communication: Learning to speak their language.
* Building Trust: Showing them they are safe even when they are stressed.
* Building Skills: Giving them the tools to succeed in a human world.

Let Us Help You Bridge the Gap

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, don’t go it alone. We specialize in force-free, science-based training that prioritizes your dog’s well-being and your peace of mind. Let’s turn those "hard times" into breakthrough moments together.
