Kiki was kept mostly indoors and is partially house trained. She would have accidents several times a week where she would urinate in the home. When left alone in the home, Kiki was well behaved. When the owner would leave her alone in the yard, she would bark. Kiki has never been crate trained so behavior is unknown. She knows the cues sit, stay and shake. For exercise, Kiki was taken on slow walks on the leash. When on the leash, she tends to pull lightly. Owner was able to walk her off leash and stated that she would wander around at first but then come back when her name was called.
