Crew is currently with her adult raiser. She has started College and goes to NSD for training 1 day a week. When not at NSD, she learns how to settle, cuddle and continue to be a welcomed member of the community. This training will help prepare her to be matched with her client.
All of the training and care provided to each dog would not be possible without the support of generous volunteers and donors.

Crew has made good progress, especially with settling before she meets a new person. She enjoys greeting folks with her beloved toy, Fox. Crew is a pleasure to raise!
Training Update - December 2023
Crew has been actively learning at University. They have been learning resiliency with their basic obedience; settling in the kennel, heeling, food refusal and dog distraction. They have also been working hard and learning expectations with handler transfers. The training team is excited to continue to build on these excellent foundation behaviours, by helping Crew transfer these skills into the community.
Crew is one of our quietest and sweetest learners, already off her tether. She quickly learned her flop and chin.
