Juice completed her final evaluation this week and did exceptionally well.  Her trainer says Juice has set the bar very high for any future greyhounds she trains.  Juice learned all of her commands so quickly.

Her trainer says as Juice’s departure date approaches she herself has become more emotional.  She says it’s very hard to say goodbye to them after having them in your life.  She says she’s really going to miss Juice and her awesome personality.  She hopes that she finds peace and love with whoever adopts her.  Juice is a wonderful, loving girl who deserves a wonderful loving home.

Juice’s trainer says Juice has gotten pretty “Juiced Up “this past week.  She apparently thinks she has been promoted to the Top Dog position.  Her trainer says she is very comfortable and has become a bit on the bossy side.  She corrects her and that seems to be working. 

Juice had a sleepover with another handler this past week.  Her trainer got glowing reports on her.  She did wonderful!  Her trainer says most of the time Juice has exceptional mannerisms.  Next week she will continue working on her commands and correcting that “Diva” attitude Juice displays at times.

Juice is continuing to run off leash, (with kibble shaker handy) even with other dogs as long as they don't become aggressive. She really does like to run and play. Her trainer says that Juice has found her "MOJO" and is happy there but her trainer is a bit sad knowing Juice's training time is almost up, she'll miss her "goofy and playful" personality!

She loves her raw hide but her trainer says others have to be careful when removing it from Juice's clutch.  She's a bit protective of it but isn't so with everyone else.  Her trainer continues to work with her and the rawhide!

Juice has finally learned how to run off leash on the puppy field but would rather be "chilling" in the shade. Now her trainers came up with an idea to get miss Juice motivated (the treat shaker). When the other dogs are getting kibble from the shaker out comes "jealous Juice" and she will run after the shaker till she gets some. She still has a hard time playing and running with the other dogs if they get too rough but does great when she's off leash and playing with her trainer (and the kibble jar).

Juice enjoyed a weekend switchover and did well except for a warning growl while chewing her rawhide. The other trainer was giving out rawhides and another dog got too close but showed no aggression so they are going to work on Juice's manners. All in all Juices had a very fun weekend!

Doggie training camp is now over it was so much fun especially sharing our knowledge with all the participants. Juice enjoyed all the extra special attention, her being a social girl and even will move another "grey" out of the way so she can get all the attention from everyone. Juice did get to socialize with an 8 month old labradoodle " Tori" who thought it was alright to hit Juice in the face and muzzle with her paws! She took it all in stride and probably was thinking "why is he hitting me when I'm a foot taller?"

Juice had her eval and did excellent on all commands although her trainer says sometimes on "stay" she'll get up to follow if she gets too far away with her treat! She continues to socialize well in the dorm with residents, staff and other dogs. She shows no sign of aggression and is really just a happy, fun, and intelligent dog!
