Happy Friday, NEC Fam! Meet Echo… She is a Czech bloodline German Shepherd, and is approximately 1.5 years old. Echo is looking for a new home due to a change in her owner’s living conditions.
Some things to know:
* She would prefer a home with a fenced in yard * She has high energy & mid drive * She would be outside all day if she could * She is very friendly, but would do best with a new owner who has experience with guardian/herding dogs * She is not the biggest fan of small animals, but she’s learned to ignore cats * She has basic leash training down, and is familiar with a pinch collar * She will follow you around like a shadow * There is no rehoming fee * She is current on her vaccinations
If you or someone you know has questions or is interested in Echo, please reach out to her current owner, Jeremiah, at fixjeremiah2@gmail.com

Today was Picture Day at New England Canine University! The good news is we won’t charge you $1.3 million dollars for these pictures like your kids school did/does 😂
These guys did such a great job today as they adapted to their new environment. We are so excited to keep the momentum going!
It’s TIMMMEEEEEEEEE ⏰ Our newest facility opens up in just ONE day!
Come Tuesday morning, drop-offs and pick-ups will be at 4 Forms Way. HOURS OF OPERATION WILL REMAIN THE SAME. We’ll see you there! . . . . (Any dogs in our Behavioral Modification Program will still drop off and pick up at 9 Forms Way. If you’ve not been informed that your dog is in the BMP, they’re not.)
What an incredible time we had with our staff at the Annual N.E.C Christmas Party! Lots of laughter and fun!
We know you only see them in a professional capacity, but our staff is so fun, and we are thankful for everything they do to keep New England Canine running everyday!
The BIGGEST thank you to our clients, staff, and friends who really came through for the Angel Tree kids this year! This was the third drop-off… We knocked it out of the park!
What an incredible way to kick off the Christmas season… By giving!
Hard work pays off! We give owners the tools, and they put in the work… We simply love our happy clients!
“My big ask was Maggie to be able to be off leash at the beach. Between training there and the “games” [group] class, I’m now more interesting than a dead seagull!” - Kim

The rain didn’t stop us from training in Sunday’s group class. We took a field trip to Joann Fabrics & worked on all skills around real world distractions.
Featured in this photo is Suki and her humans. They are a part of New England Canine’s Therapy Dog training program.
Sunday group class was a great one! Each dog is showing social neutrality with the dogs and people around them (this is the end of class) and every team worked really hard to achieve this! So proud of you all!
We had such a great time in Sunday’s class, Brain Games & Foundations! The games centered around place training and impulse control. Pictured left to right Maxie, Augie, Jasper, and Hexi with their humans who all did awesome!
If our weekday classes are tough to make, consider a Sunday class. We promise to have you home before the football game 🏈
Lanie’s humans have been struggling with her confidence and loading up into their SUV, so we made sure to work on it today at school! Great job, girl! . . . #confidencebuilding #realworldskills #blacklabpuppy...

Join us in welcoming the first little PRINCE to the New England Canine and New England Dobermans dynasty. We are so beyond in love with him, and can’t wait to see the young man he becomes!
There are no words to articulate how we feel today. A little bit of sadness, and a little bit of pride. We sit quietly and watch as you spread your wings and fly. It’s the best and worst parts about being a parent… Watching your kids grow. You will be greatly missed by our clients, your friends, and us, your family. We are so proud of the young man you are, and we are excited to see the gentleman you will become. So many are blessed to know you. Hold onto the plans He has for you, and trust in Him always. Stay safe. Work hard. Continue to make us proud. We love you, Amedeo ❤️

Happy Thursday! Our pal Amos is looking for a new forever home…
Amos is a 4.5 year old Male Pointer-mix. He was adopted at 6 months old, and they were not Amos’ first family. Amos has been an amazing companion to his current owners, but isn’t a fan of his four-legged sibling.
He would be best suited in a home with an experienced handler or trainer. Amos has an excellent prey drive, and with the right training could be a great hunting dog.
Dog and cat free home is best for Amos.
Give us a call at 781.219.7471 if you are interested in giving Amos a great home ❤️
DAD JOKE LOADING…. . . . Don’t forget to thank your dad today. Chances are your mom wasn’t in the mood. . . . He was the one you called when your car was making a weird noise. He’s the guy who cussed out the ref at your youth sports game. He’s the one who knows how to cook on the grill better than mom. He’s the guy who had no idea how to coordinate your outfits, but it didn’t matter, cause wherever you were going, you had the best time. He may not have been the schedule keeper, but there was nothing like a hug from Daddy.
Here’s to all the dads, step-dads, grandpas, uncles, and dog dads! Wishing you the best Father’s Day yet! ❤️
