Furever Friend: Incoming!

Hello Layla fans!

I have reached my last week of being here. I am getting ready to become an amazing family member and I will miss my team very much! They have trained me very well and taught me how to do all my basic commands. The one that I love the most is bed. I like to lie on the bed and get my belly rubbed, and I also like to play with toys. I hope you have a lot of toys for me to play with! I love being here a lot, but it's time for me to go to my forever home - so get ready, because I'm coming soon!

Love, your forever friend,

Layla

A Keeper!

Layla was an absolute joy to have for swap week! She is the most precious dog he has had the privilege to work with. Her alternate trainer said she is always happy and her tail is constantly wagging. When you speak to her, she likes to answer you back. If we only knew what she was saying. LOL

Layla did very well this week taking commands from someone else other than her primary trainer. (A master of all of her commands). She showed no signs of anxiety with all of the changes that take place during swap week. He had a really awesome week with Layla and he’s sure you will love her. She’s a keeper!

Belly Rubs

This week has been so much fun with Layla! Her training team had a great time with her and got to play so much with her. They have a pink Jolly ball that she loves to play with, so they took her out into the yard and played with her for a little bit. They also did stair training with her this week and she nailed it! Her trainer took her through the commands over the weekend and she was a star. After that, they watched a movie together and halfway through the movie she rolled over on her back begging for a belly rub. And of course, she wanted some kibble, too! She loved it so much, and her team loved getting to pamper this sweet gal after a long day of training and being adorable.

That's all for now - graduation is so close! Until next time, Layla's team is signing off.

"Speak" To Me

Layla;s inmate trainer says it’s been another amazing week!  Layla has perfected all of her commands and they have started working on some extras.  So far, she knows “speak”.  He says that she makes the most adorable sound when she “speaks”.  They’re working on “shake” now and it’s coming along great. Her leash walking skills are out of this world!  

He says that Layla’s personality is really starting to come out.  She‘s totally in love with toys and gets beside herself with happiness at the thoughts of playing with them.  She automatically sits when she sees a toy knowing that her best behavior gets her some playtime.  She doesn’t mind returning the toy when requested. 

You should know that peanut butter and belly rubs are tops on Layla’s list.  Her inmate trainer says that Layla is loving, fun, and always happy go lucky.  Her tail never stops wagging and she never meets a stranger.   She loves to be the center of attention.  

Down... sit... play!

Hello Layla fans! Another great week with Layla has come to an end. She is such an amazing and cute greyhound! This was the first week that her trainer worked with her on all of the commands and she did so well for him. He took her out to play for a little bit, and he's realized that she likes going to a down position when she sees a toy. But sometimes she will sit and wait for him to throw it so that she can get it and play with it. He is looking forward to spending the last four weeks he has with her, working with her and getting to know her better so that he can tell you even more about her and what she loves to do. Until next time!

A Real Love Bug!

We’re halfway through this session already!  Layla has already left her mark on everyone in the program.  She’s a dorm favorite!  She’s a true pleasure to be around.  She’s a real love bug.  Her inmate trainer says that he’s never seen a dog that loves to have their belly rubbed as much as Layla does!  When you say her name she gets excited and smiles!  Her inmate trainer says it’s the cutest thing you’ll ever see!  

She knows all her basic commands and performs them well.  He plans to start teaching her extras soon.  She’s crazy about toys and peanut butter.  She also loves lounging in the bed watching TV and enjoying a Kong filled treat.  He says that she’s so much fun you can’t help but look forward to being with her!  

Sweetness To The Max

This first month with little miss Layla has been nothing short of amazing. Her trainer said she has already given him great memories he will never forget. When they were handing out sweetness, Layla got an extra dose.

She is so much fun to hang out with. She loves her bed and belly rubs are at the top of her list. A soft bed with endless belly rubs makes Layla one happy girl.

Layla is going great will all of her commands and her trainer is looking forward to teaching her some extras. As long as there’s peanut butter around, Layla can learn anything!

Smile

it’s been another wonderful week in the books with little Miss Layla. Her trainer says she is so adorable and super sweet. He can’t begin to tell you how loving she is. Her favorite things this week are hanging out with her trainer in the day room watching tv, receiving belly rubs and getting tucked in to bed at night. She loves her pillow and blanket and will stay covered up all night long. How adorable is that?!

Layla is a master at leash walking. She could be the star in a “how to” video! Layla is working on the other basic commands. She knows hurry, let’s go, kennel, release, bead and leave it well. She’s slow to respond to the others, but there’s plenty of time to master those before graduation. Layla’s trainer is enjoying his time with her. She’s an amazing girl with the cutest smile.

Squeaky Toy Shenanigans

Hello Layla fans!

This has been a very productive week for little Miss Layla. She has mastered the ancient art of leash-walking and has an amazing ‘heel’! She is just all out crazy about squeaky toys – one of her favorite things to do is hang out on her bed with a squeaky toy, eat some peanut butter out of a Kong, and get her belly rubbed. So far, her trainer is just taking it nice and slow. Besides being the best leash walker in her class (and the best looking!), Layla is also the most loving! She has already stolen a piece of her trainer’s heart, and he is looking forward to the next 8 weeks with this gem!

Love At First Sight!

Hello Greyhound lovers!!

 As soon as Layla’s trainer saw her, it was love at first sight.  She is out of this world adorable!  She has the cutest ears and the biggest brown eyes, that’s going to be hard to say no to.  

After she arrived, Layla got a bath, her nails trimmed, ears cleaned and her beautiful silky coat brushed.  She was a calm pup through the whole process.  Layla is an extremely loving pup and a natural when it comes to leash walking.  She’s already learned “hurry” and “let’s go”.  Her trainer is looking forward to the weeks ahead with Layla.
