The Canine Behavior Academy is Here!!

Metropawlitan Dog and The Collared Scholar are VERY proud to announce, after several months of hard work, late nights with plenty of coffee, and a little blood, sweat and tears shed putting together the curriculum, our Canine Behavior Academy is finally launching!

What's exactly is our Canine Behavior Academy you might ask? Well, it's simply the most comprehensive dog trainer academy currently available. Our program teaches how to understand dog behavior and will give our students the tools to apply that knowledge as a professional dog trainer. You will learn ALL current methods of dog training; not just one or two like many of the other dog training academies available. You also get hands-on experience working with actual training client dogs and have the opportunity to troubleshoot dog behavior problems with certified dog trainers.

Our first class will begin on Saturday, August 2nd and we are so excited to welcome our first group of students! If you think you might be interested in learning more or attending our Canine Behavior Academy, give us a call here at Metro - 619-233-1364!!

Gorgeous Shadow Needs a Home!

It seems like these days, our rescue has been inundated with dogs needing homes...

If you have been into the Met lately, you have seen Shadow's picture. Shadow is a stunning, purebred blue nose pit bull who comes from excellent lines. Shadow is currently being fostered by her original owners but will be entering our rescue on Monday or Tuesday of next week.

Her owners are relinquishing her because, over the past year or two, their male pit bull has attacked her...on multiple occaisions. The owners spent thousands of dollars training with a well known LA dog trainer with no avail. So, they decided it wasn't fair to hang onto Shadow anymore. They decided to find her a new home where she didn't have to live every day in fear of being attacked.

Shadow is one of the most perfect dogs we have ever had come through our rescue. Despite all of her trauma, she is great with other dogs. She is completely obedience trained and housetrained and she loves people of all ages. She loves to lounge on the couch or accompany you on a long walk or hike. Her only requirement is that she has a human companion to love.

If you or someone you know is looking for a new companion, please call us at 619-233-1005.
