NSD Baker

Baker is currently with his adult raiser. He has started University and goes to NSD for training 5 days a week. When not at NSD, he learns how to settle, cuddle and continue to be a welcomed member of the community. This training will help prepare him to be matched with his client.

All of the training and care provided to each dog would not be possible without the support of generous volunteers and donors.

Training Updates

Baker is a very sweet and gentle little guy. He is a very fast learner, and works very hard for his treats. He just started wearing his vest and going out in public, and has been impressing people everywhere he goes.

Baker is working on new skills like up-up, off and working with other handlers. He continues to work on all the skills he has learned up to this point with added distractions and has been doing a great job rising to the challenge.

Baker is now in high school and will be working on new skills such as touch, chin, side, back up, step and stand. All of these skills form the basis for college & university.

Baker continues to excel at all the new challenges thrown his way. He is really starting to mature and has shown superb manners at home and out in public. We are excited to welcome them into NSD University soon.

Baker is enjoying his time with his puppy raiser and his furry older brothers. He is very cuddly and very food motivated. He works very hard on his outings and likes to have a good play after. His latest fun outing was a visit to see a play at the Stratford Music Festival.

Baker 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 Baker transfer these skills into the community.

Baker absolutely loves having naps on his mat! He has worked hard on his calm behaviours.
