Gypsy is a sweet girl who knows basic commands like sit, stay, down.  She is a typical Shepherd who has a lot of energy and is extremely smart.   She is crate trained, and house trained.   She loves children and is very affectionate.   She is still learning and needs to be redirected to appropriate toys.   You couldnt ask for a better companion.

We have had Gypsy for a week.   In a household of three adults, she has a favorite!   My daughter has taken on the roll of top human with zeel.   She is walked daily (between rain storms) and plays out in the back yard - while learning the game of fetch.    We are and will be working on basic commands, such as, stay, sit, down, leave it, heel, and come.  The kitchen boundries class - has just begun.   

As said earlier - she is very smart and picks up commands easily.   She really likes her training treats.   We use them to great advantage.
