Pepper is such a good boy! He's a lover and so calm and gentle. He likes everyone and has no fears other than the shiny floors. He does well now on the floors, but won't run around - he just takes it nice and easy. Since he learned the visit command, he always puts his head in your lap! His commands are all very good, except shake and stay. He's a good boy on his leash. Stairs are still in progress. The weather has been a bit colder this week and Pepper has been frisky in the cooler temperatures. He's a little more playful than usual and it's so cute. He never gets out of control crazy, just a little fun. He's a happy little boy, so very sweet and affectionate and laid back most of the time. He's very easy going and didn't react while he was lying down and another dog stood over him. He's also easy to handle and lets you manipulate him without any resistance, such as when his handler has been cleaning his surgical site from his neutering. His handler says she is very proud to be a part of the greyhound training team: "we have good people on our team and great vet techs, and the guys who run the program are always making sure our dogs are being taken care of."
