It's time to get yourself and your pooch fit for summer!

The Collared Scholar is VERY proud to announce the start of an awesome new partnership! Our trainers will be partnering with Leash your Fitness, a company that offers fitness classes for dogs and their owners. Classes are taught by certified personal trainers and accommodate all fitness levels.

Next THURSDAY, APRIL 29th at 6pm, Leash your Fitness is bringing it's Bonding with BootCamp series to Poway! Each class starts with a warm-up and is followed by intervals that consist of two minutes of cardio and one minute of either balance, core, yoga or strength. There are approximately 16 intervals in each class. Your dog is your partner during the entire class, and dog obedience is incorporated in all the exercises.

New Photos and New Articles!

We recently captured some great new photos of our canine clients. Check out our gallery at http://www.flickr.com/photos/collaredscholar . Remember to check back frequently as we post new pictures regularly. I am hoping to catch a few more of our new doggy houseguests that have yet to be featured today so check back tomorrow for Zorro, Larry, and Sophie's camios.

Also, check out our latest DogTown articles.

First, "To Crate or Not to Crate" - an article on crate training for your pooch.

Next, "Doggy Etiquette 101 - How to greet a strange dog"

And last, now that summer is upon us, and the sun stays out much later, the trainers of The Collared Scholar are considering bringing back our seminar series. Seminars last about 1-2 hours and cover specific topics such as "Teaching a Reliable Recall" or "How to better communicate with your dog". Our summer seminar series will kick off in late May or early June so check back regularly for updates!
