She is comfortable with basic grooming (eg, brushing, nail clipping,teeth brushing). She may have been primarily an outside dog as she is skittish with common household noises, but adjusts over time and introduction to them (eg, we had a coo-coo clock and turned it off for the 1^st week, but after that she was fine with the new noise).
