CRYSTAL has been working on behavior adjustment training and is getting stronger at self-regulating when surprised by strange dogs appearing or barking. She has been working on retrieving and steadying her hold when in exciting scenarios on campus and in public. She’s very good at retrieving objects from tricky places like under benches!Β Β
