Cookie is sharp and quick to learn.
She is crate trained and responds quickly to a consistent routine. Not often that a foster dog gets such impressive marks. They found her to be easy to care for and generally sweet in temperament. At approximately 5, Crystal still needs obedience training but she is very intelligent and learns easily. She carries herself with an air of confidence.
