She's pretty smart, picks up things quick. GF had her wait on the rug in DR while she's cooking. Took her on a hike last September checking out an elk area and we ran into some grouse on the trail. She got scent and was pulling me up the hill after them. It was her first time out like that. Learned to heel after a couple gentle tugs. Owner doesn't train her much or keep up on things she learns here. She is named after the dog in the TV series.
