Living with a dog is wonderful.

Living with a canine scholar is even better.

The difference?

A canine scholar knows how to live in human society – to come when called, walk by your side, greet humans and fellow canines politely, and leave the chooks and wildlife to their own business.

At Scholars in Collars, we’re dedicated to bringing out the scholar in all dogs.

Hello. I’m Janelle Irvin. My team and I love helping dog owners enjoy the best from their dogs. I look forward to hearing how we can help you enjoy the best in yours!

Training you can feel good about

Modern canine behavioural science has given us effective ways to change dog behaviour without the use of outdated training tools that rely on pain or discomfort. Because we can, we use only positive, reward-based training rewards taught and endorsed by the leading dog training schools and organisations worldwide.
