Farewell is doing really well. She's always so happy and loves everyone. She's a quick learner and does all her commmands; she will hesitate in the noisy gym environment and responds best to calmness and patience. Farewell loves to play. She likes squeaky toys and balls and sometimes barks when excited, but is very easily corrected. She's just wonderful. She stands still while getting a bath, having her teeth brushed or her nails clipped. Her handler talks to her a lot! She says Farewell is amazing - a blessing to have.

This was the weekend for switching handlers and Farewell did wonderfully. She is such a sweet and loving dog and spent time with the alternate lying on her blanket and licking her Kong full of goodies. She loves squeaky toys and they had a lot of fun at rec while she chased the sound of the squeaker from one end of the field to the other. She did her commands well and proved herself very smart. This girl is full of curiosity and pays attention to what's going on around her. Farewell is a caring hound with a sweet disposition - everyone adores her socializing and watching her interact with the other dogs.

This sweet girl is improving in her commands every day and knows nearly all the basics really well. Only her stay needs more work. Her sit/stay for meals is very good and she's learning to do this through the day and not just associate it with food. Farewell gets on well with the other dogs and with everyone she meets. She got to meet a CCI dog close up this past week and all went great, with mutual sniffing and continual tail wagging. She's a well-adjusted and loving girl.

BNS Farewell and her trainer had a good week together - both of them learning many new things. Farewell does most of her commands without lure now. She knows sit, down, here, bed, wait and kennel well. She's easy to train and listens well - just occasionally shows a little stubborn streak! She certainly loves to show off her accomplishments and readily does her commands for others. This lovely girl has a great temperament and is pleasant and friendly with everyone.
