Welcome some new faces and some Collared Scholar news....
I know its been quite sometime since the blog has been updated. The holidays are always a busy time for us here at The Collared Scholar and sometimes, the blog entries fall by the wayside. But we are back up with a vengeance and plan to keep blog updates as frequent as possible....
First and foremost, I'd like to welcome some new faces - of both the two legged and four legged variety....
If you take any of our group classes, you have surely met Kelly, our awesome new intern! Kelly typically works two days per week helping out around the ranch, keeping the doggies entertained and learning dog behavior in the process. She has been an incredible addition to the crew so next time you are out at the ranch, be sure to say hello!
Of course, the blog wouldn't be complete without our canine introductions as well. In training with us currently are some really great doggies who deserve some recognition!
First is Charlie....Charlie is an incredibly adorable doxie mix who came to us for help with some intense fear issues. His owners recently rescued him and it appears that poor Charlie has never had any socialization or exposure to the outside world. He has been making excellent progress and we look forward to a full rehabilitation....keep and eye out for his video as he should be graduating with honors in the coming days.
Next we have quite the dynamic pair in training with us for basic obedience and some hunting work. Attia is a 4 year old Weim who has quickly become one of the staff favorites. She is learning at an exceptional pace and instantly bonded with her trainers. She is learning to be a bit more protective of her family since currently, she will happily greet strangers and potential muggers with big sloppy kisses and tail wags. She is also learning reliable obedience and some hunting skills so she can accompany her owner on exciting camping and hunting adventures. Attia's little brother is a 4 month old weim names Gaius, who was recently rescued from puppy mill conditions. He is recovering from a nasty cough but is really turning a corner and is showing us what a great hunter he will be when he grows up....he has a great time here playing with the quail and practicing retrieve games and we are sure that he will grow up to be a mighty hunter and a great companion.
Last but certainly not least, we have Turbo, a misunderstood pittie mix who wins everyone over with her hilarious smile (yes - she actually pulls back her lips when excited and flashes her pearly whites at you in a gesture of love and affection). Turbo is here because she has a high prey drive that has got her into some trouble in the past. We are working on corralling her issues while her parents are in San Diego on vacation and she has made astounding progress.
Pictures and video definitely to follow.....
In addition to our new faces, we also have a couple of pieces of exciting news for you....
First, keep an eye out for our video newsletter which we plan to launch in the coming weeks. We plan to post regular video tidbits with helpful training tips and tricks that you can practice at home...
And finally, perhaps the most exciting piece of news I have to share with you today is regarding one of the dogs we had in rescue, Augie. Augie is a Jack Russell/chi mix who came into our program with a few behavioral issues. Augie spent several months in training, learning to be a good doggie and this past week, we are proud to announce, that he found his perfect forever home. We will certainly miss his antics here at the ranch but we are thrilled that he finally has a family to call his own...
Until next time....
