Some long overdue updates!
Our days here at the ranch have been jam packed so I apologize for the delay in getting this update out.
Over the past few months, we have met some amazing doggies. First, let me introduce Allegro and Symphony. Allegro is a ridiculously goofy bull terrier that likes to head butt and body slam other doggies (and people!) in play. He is hilarious to watch in action. His more refined sis, Symphony is a stunning Am Staff that spends most of her days napping or getting pets. This duo has moved in and become part of the family for the next 8 months while their mom attends culinary school in France!
We also had the pleasure of working with two adorable smaller dogs in our in kennel training program. Beau joined us for some fear aggression issues he was having. He is an adorable young cockapoo and he made amazing progress in our bootcamp, learning to accept people and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sabina is a gorgeous Shi Tzu who joined us for help with some housebreaking issues. Both doggies were awesome students and you will see each of them hanging out at the ranch for daycare or at agility classes! 
New to the in kennel program is Sophie, an airedale with a past who came to us for some aggression issues she had been having towards her owners. Sophie had a rough start at life and was rescued after her prior owner severely neglected her. She had internal bleeding from a bad whip worm infection that had gone untreated for quite sometime. But now Sophie is living it up with her awesome owners and she is here at The Collared Scholar to deal with some past life issues she is still left with.
There is also some very exciting news we'd like to share with you! The kennel building out back is back under construction! The contractors have been working the last few weeks to get the building ready for some canine guests! We expect completion very soon and are excited for the expansion of our facility! We will be hosting a Summer Kickoff Barbeque within the next month or so to get the summer season started on the right paw and to celebrate the opening of our state of the art kennel facility!
And last, but not least, some sad news from The Collared Scholar. We'd like to wish Lando, the Chesapeake Bay Retriever a speedy journey over the Rainbow Bridge. Lando passed away from a terrible accident at the dog park. He picked up and proceeded to swallow a tennis ball whole. He choked and his owner was unable to dislodge the tennis ball. Lando didn't make it to the vet in time. This should serve as a grim warning to all of you who have dogs who like to play with tennis balls. Please be careful as these toys can be dangerous. Godspeed Lando. We love you. Your brilliant personality, goofy water obsession and overall sweet nature is already greatly missed. You will not be forgotten.

Another new student we'd like to introduce is Zorro. Zorro is a stunningly handsome Great Pyrenees weighing in at a whopping 120lbs! Zorro is a sweet natured boy but he has some fear issues that have lead to some pretty serious aggression with strangers. But don't fear Zorro! The Collared Scholar is here to help! Zorro has already made great progress in less than a week and we expect a full recovery very soon!
And we can't forget Stella, the South African Boerboel puppy that joined us for some training to get her prepped to be a therapy dog. Stella is only 6 months old and she already weighs 80lbs! She is gorgeous, sweet and incredibly smart. She will make an EXCELLENT therapy dog as she grows up!
