She's gooooorgeous. And good that she's food-oriented, it makes training so much easier :P

Charlie likes Fetch, enthusiastic chasing games, wrestling and tickling. We've somehow incorporated the command "where's your toy?" and if you say that to her, she'll run off and find a toy you can throw for her. She'll also initiate play buy dropping a toy on your foot, then if you ignore her, picking it up and dropping it on your foot again or shoving it on your lap if you're sitting down.

You might not want to go for games like wrestling or tug immediately because they're a bit close to dominance games. One of the things I found useful with Charlie was teaching her to "leave" - she's reliable enough at this that I can say "leave" when we're playing with a tug toy and she'll drop her end of the toy. It means that I'm still in control over the game and can stop it when I want to, even though I let her win because it's funny watching her dash off with the toy.
