Buster, Casey, Flea and Grumpy - It's been busy at The Collared Scholar!
The past week or so, things have been pretty busy around here! We have had several doggies head home from their stay at the ranch and welcomed some new faces to the training program.
First on the list is our sweet boy Buster. Buster is a dachshund mix who presented with some people and dog aggression issues. He's a sweet boy that was just sorely misunderstood. You see, Buster was a rescued dog and he suffered from some intense fear and panic issues that caused him to become aggressive in situations he felt like he couldn't control. Because he was unstable, he sought refuge in the few areas of his life he felt he could control. Hence, his aggression. He would bark wildly at other dogs as he passed them on the street and he refused to let strangers in the front door without him letting them know whose house it really was....he stayed in our program for a few weeks and made great progress. He now attends doggy daycare twice weekly and will be joining us for agility class soon!
Check out Buster's video :-)
We also had the pleasure of working with Casey, an 11 week old German Shepherd puppy who graduated the program on Monday. She was here for crate training, housebreaking and some help with some fear issues. She overcame her issues quickly and became the pride and joy of pretty much every one she met. The ranch is a quieter place without her but we are happy she's back home showing off her new skills!
Last week, we also had the pleasure of meeting an odd couple who joined us for in kennel training. Grumpy is an 8 month old English Bulldog who came to us with his brother, Flea, a 4lb chihuahua. Grumpy is a bowling ball of a dog who presented with destructive behavior. He would tear up everything in sight, become aggressive when disciplined and trample his tiny brother Flea. Flea on the other hand was fearful, barked like a mad man, was not sociable with other dogs and had housebreaking issues. They enrolled in our program and have been so much fun to work with. Keep an eye out for their video coming soon!
