Dorothy came to NMC at 8 weeks old from Verrill Goldens in southern Maine and stayed with us until she was 16 weeks old. She was a bright, confident, and affectionate puppy with a strong desire to learn. She brought enthusiasm and heart to every training session and loved working through new challenges. She completed her training with a strong work ethic and a loving, people-focused personality—well prepared to continue growing into an amazing companion!

Dorothy has been adopted by a wonderful family of four in Marblehead, Massachusetts! She’s absolutely thriving in her new home, and her family couldn’t be happier. They’re even planning to have her certified as a therapy dog next year—what an amazing future ahead for this sweet girl! 💛
"We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brooke and the incredible start she gave our puppy, Dorothy. Dorothy is the sweetest, smartest, loving girl, and we truly believe that’s because she had the very best foundation in life with Brooke as her trainer.
Brooke is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, warm and solution‑oriented. She took the time to understand both Dorothy and us, and our lifestyle. She always met questions or hiccups with thoughtful guidance and practical solutions. The detailed binder she provided was such a helpful resource and showed just how much care and preparation she puts into her work.
What really sets Brooke apart is her passion. She genuinely loves what she does, is always learning, and it shows in every interaction. Working with her was a joy from the start and we love keeping her filled in on our continued progress. And I love to boast about Dorothy's A+ behavior at her vet appointments and how I am so grateful to have a family dog who is gentle, regulated, and loving.
We adore our dog so much, and we know that love is paired with confidence knowing she got the best possible start. We are endlessly grateful to Brooke for helping shape Dorothy into the amazing pup she is today. We couldn’t recommend New Meadows Canine more highly. Thank you, Brooke!"
