Sweet Cream is very smart. She responds quickly and positively to training and has perfected her sit, with bed and down underway. She pulls a bit but will correct herself to a heel position when her handler stops. For calming this girl's excitement before she gets out of her kennel, her handler uses the command "settle," then she is not permitted to move until released with the OK command. She's picked up on this quickly and will correct herself while her handler stands and waits. Sweet Cream continues to be very friendly, easily approaching everyone. She also gets along well with the labs she has met. She responds well to "here" when she goes wandering in the dorm. This girl has loads of fun with toys and entertains herself tossing plush toys in the air. While her handler is busy, she spends a lot of time just lying quietly near her, though she's always ready to roll over on her back to invite a tummy rub if someone walks by! Her handler says she is her ideal greyhound.
