Gracie is quite a charmer with her beautiful big brown eyes, and she melts her handler's heart. This girl is starting to relax more and will now lie on her bed and roach to be loved on. She loves her walks with her handler, enjoying all the sights and smells the outdoor parts of the compound have to offer. She also enjoys visiting the education building and heel walks well. Though indoors she can get a little "Scooby" on the floors, she will walk it out. She is still quite food driven and tends to jump up for her food. Her handler corrects her and is working through this behavior. Her training progress is good. She is waiting well and doing all the basics, too. They are focussing on her stay command at the moment. Gracie has a great temperament around other dogs and is very sweet and loving. She seems fascinated by the new batch of tiny dogs and her handler is keeping her on a short leash for now. On socializing sessions she's fun, listens for her name and will come as called. The dorm residents enjoy her and she spends time with them day and night.
