Sadie is currently with her adult raiser. She has started University and goes to NSD for training 5 days 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 them to be matched with their client.
All of the training and care provided to each dog would not be possible without the support of generous volunteers and donors.

Sadie is doing very well, she is a very sweet girl who just wants to with us all the time. We are working on getting her more comfortable with her crate, walking well on a leash with and without distractions. We are also working on asking her to be on her mat when we are preparing our dinner and eating.

Sadie is doing so well, she is working on her skills while out in public now, staying calm and dealing with distractions. She has also been working recently on staying calm while meeting people. She loves her kong, and any comfortable spot where she can have a nap, and always likes to be close by so she doesn’t miss anything.

Sadie is working hard on her skills, including settling herself. She does very well when out in jacket and is eager to please. Sadie is working on calmly greeting people, settling in her crate or on her mat when asked to, her down stays and more. We are excited to watch her progress and gain confidence.
