The best of Shefaro is Shefaro Temperament.
Everyone was shocked to see how naturaly she took to her service dog testing. She was a pro and everyone thought she had been doing it for years. Such an excellent girl! She has experienced so much in the past week and acted like she had been doing it all her life...even I was shocked about the escalator.
