Today NSD Ally travelled in a car for the first time. She was a little nervous at first and whined for a few minutes then snuggled down in my dear friend Sherry’s lap and promptly fell asleep for the remainder of the car ride. She is a very affectionate pup who enjoys being near your side at all times. Already loyal, she enjoys sitting right beside me while I cook. She has had many naps already in her kennel. And has successfully had several “hurry-ups” outside. I am amazed at just how calm she is for a puppy. She is always watching and paying attention to what I am doing. So excited to be a part of her NSD journey.November 2021
Ally has really settled in nicely. She had a huge accomplishment of learning to go down a full flight of stairs today. She has met several family members and friends and never barks at anyone. She has her rambunctious pup moments but overall everyone that has met her is surprised at how calm and gentle-natured a pup she is. Ally brightens up everyone’s day!

Ally has made great progress in waiting and not barking when I get her food ready. She will lay down and wait until released, which is an amazing accomplishment. Ally loves to snuggle with my son and waits for him on the landing to upstairs every morning. She has grown so much and now nicely fills out her NSD vest. She remains hesitant to put on her car harness but loves car rides. Her new favourite game is hide and seek, where I hide her kibble or treats around the house and then she must sniff them out. No treat has been missed yet!
