What a perfect pet M's Sweet Cream is going to be, says her handler. She follows virtually everywhere and even if she wanders off, she comes immediately on being called. A favorite game now is catching kibble. She's really good at it and concentrates hard on her handler's hand. Her record right now is 12 catches in a row. She's doing well with her training, though is reluctant to shake paws so far. Her down/stay was a challenge, so she's started by learning stay from her bed and will now stay from 20 feet. Her handler is going to start working on the same but from her lying on the ground now. Sweet Cream is fearless. She's very enthusiastic about the jump command on the jump tables and has since seemed once or twice to be looking for other things to jump on or over! Her handler has kept a watchful eye to make sure she is good. She's firm, and Sweet Cream responds really well to correction. This sweet girl is easygoing and tolerant of being touched in any position. She also doesn't pay any attention if another grey walks over her or lies close to her. She's very friendly and playful, but calms easily. She's exactly the dog her handler hopes to have when she goes home and adopts her own greyhound.
