At Scholars in Collars we are committed to ensuring all dogs and their people receive the one-on-one attention they deserve to be a Canine Scholar. Our tiny group training classes – so small it’s semi-private training – will provide you with the personalised guidance and support you need to achieve your training goals; at home and in the big wide world.
We know that your dog is going to need some refined skills to match your lifestyle as they grow into a Canine Scholar, so we have created training just for that!
Hello! I’m Janelle. My team and I are passionate about helping dog owners enjoy the best from their dogs. Whether we be there right from the start, help polish existing skills, or help you change some stressful or undesirable behaviours; we got you. Let us help you on your journey to success to living the way you dreamed with your best friend, and Canine Scholar.
Gone are the days of large group obedience training, where you and your dog get lost in a sea of other dogs and people.
You may have heard of dog training schools offering ‘small class sizes’ of 6 to 8 dogs. At Scholars in Collars, we do even better than that.
Our Lifestyle Courses have a ratio of one qualified instructor for every two dogs, with a maximum of four dogs and two instructors per course – that’s semi-private training!
We will make sure you won’t get lost in the crowd by offering these intentionally intimate class sizes; we provide you and your dog with a personalised and successful learning experience every time.
Unlike regular dog training classes that train in large groups, on an oval or the same classroom every week, our training is uniquely different, and far ahead of the rest in every way:
Train alongside like-minded people
Tiny class size: a ratio of four dogs per two qualified instructors
Practice in the real world on field trips throughout the Adelaide Hills
Highly qualified, certified professional instructors at your side from start to finish
