Meagan Karnes, otherwise known as the Collared Scholar was in Australia running a series of seminars.  Glenn and Pat had the good fortune of sitting down with her to get some insight into her origin story.

Prior to Meagan throwing her hat in the ring of dog training, her role was a little different.  Or maybe a lot different.

Meagan told us the reasons why she became so frustrated prior to starting her new career. This is why she changed her stars in the first place.  She also discusses her dogs, how she came to have them and the people who inspired her.

It was great to watch her work and introduce us to her style of training, which has hints of other remarkable training mentors.  we also enjoyed her infectious laugh and enthusiasm into helping transform relationships between dog and owners.

We also spoke briefly about puppy raising which we have spoken about here as well in the picking and raising puppies episode

Meagan has her own website and on-line training programs that you can find by clicking here
