Meet Tino — our handsome young Doberman who came to us for a 6-week Board & Train to work through fear and reactivity. 💛

When he arrived, the world felt big and overwhelming for him. With structure, confidence-building, clear communication, and slow, thoughtful exposure, Tino learned how to breathe, process, and make better choices.

Today, he’s back with his family with a calmer mind, stronger handler relationship, and the skills to navigate life instead of reacting to it.

Proud of you, buddy. 🖤🐾

🌟 Barrie Bright Spot 🌟

🏔️🐾 Meet Elise & Vesper – Certified Human Remains Detection Team

Vesper was just four months old when she was adopted from the Barrie SPCA, and now, almost two years later, she’s officially a Certified Human Remains Detection K9 through the National Search Dog Alliance (NSDA).

Her handler, Elise, is a full-time Barrie Police officer, former Canadian Armed Forces medic, and a dedicated Search and Rescue volunteer with the Search and Rescue Dogs of Ontario Association. Together, they’ve spent countless hours training and preparing for this incredible milestone.

Their recent first-ever validation marks a major step toward operational readiness, both here in Canada and abroad. Elise credits her success to her incredible mentors and teammates who guided her through every step of the journey.

When she’s not volunteering or training, Elise operates Nordik K9, one of Barrie’s premier dog training facilities, welcoming dogs of all backgrounds and skill levels.

👏 Congratulations to this inspiring local team for their dedication, compassion, and hard-earned success!

Vesper and I are proud to share that we’ve officially passed our NSDA (National Search Dog Alliance) Land Human Remains Detection Validation under evaluator Sherri Hall.

This was our first ever evaluation, and I couldn’t be happier with how this young dog worked — focused, driven, and confident. Every training day, every search, and every lesson led us here.

A huge shout-out to our incredible mentors and teammates who have been instrumental throughout this journey. Your guidance, support, and encouragement made all the difference.

Here’s to many more searches and continued growth together. 🐾🌲

🍂🐾 Fall Photo Day at Nordik K9! 🐾🍂

Our pups had their close-ups today in our mini pumpkin patch! 🎃 Between the crunchy leaves, wagging tails, and a few sneaky pumpkin nibbles, it’s safe to say fall looks pretty good on them. 🍁

From serious poses to goofy grins, every photo captured the spirit of autumn — cozy, playful, and full of personality.

📸 Stay tuned for more adorable snapshots of our daycare dogs enjoying the season!
