Nelson is currently with his puppy raiser. He is being taught a foundation of house manners and cues, for becoming a well-socialized part of the community.
All of the training and care provided to each dog would not be possible without the support of generous volunteers and donors.

NSD Nelson is a very sweet boy who likes to cuddle. He is very smart and willing to learn. He loves being told he is a good boy especially when there are treats to go with it. He is doing very well with potty training and working hard at loose leash walking.

NSD Nelson is a smart, sweet boy who loves to cuddle. As he matures he is gaining confidence which allows him to test his boundaries. He is learning to settle for more than an hour at public events with the help of Kongs and hopefully will soon learn to do this without their aid. He generally does very well with his meets and greets but has to learn not to jump up when extra excited.

Nelson is a very sweet, loving boy. He continues to do well with his loose leash walking with his gentle leader and is working hard to do the same on the flat collar. We are continuing to work on settling in public places such as church, choir rehearsal and concerts. Classes are a bit harder with all the exciting dogs and trainers. As Nelson matures he is earning more freedom outside his crate at night and when left at home.
