Gracie's stay command is coming along a little better every day. All her other commands are excellent. This week has been very productive, with good training practice and work on interaction skills with strangers, due to the tryouts. Gracie has really come out of her shell so much; she is brilliant. Care is being taken near the tiny puppies as a precaution, as she pulls towards them. However, her handler corrects and keeps moving and then Gracie is fine. She's a loyal dog and as long as you keep her attention, she is focused and stays behind and beside you. Gracie enjoys the outdoors and indoors. She now plays with toys outside when off leash, chasing after them. Top favorite seems to be her squeaky monkey. A great passion of Gracie's is food. She's never aggressive about food - just loves it. This girl is smart as a whip and most of all sweet and loving. She's her handler's buddy and a really good dog.
