So Long Lillie

Lillie’s trainers are showering her with even more love and affection this week as they prepare to say goodbye to her.  They are so thankful for the time they got to have with her and being able to watch her transform.  She has been such a joy these past 10 weeks of training.  

Lillie is always eager to please and very much loves attention.  She is very attentive to her surroundings and to people.  She loves all sorts of fruit, but bananas are one of her favorites.  Marshmallows are her treat of choice when it’s time for something sweeter.  When she’s had enough treats, she’s happy just eating ice cubes.

Smart And Caring

As her trainer continues working with Lillie, she has shown that she is always a loving dog and wants to nurture the other dogs by cleaning their faces. She’s a little Momma.

Lillie pouts when they have to come in from the yard because she wants to stay outside and play. As their time begins to wind down, they look back at all of the progress they have made together. Lillie is so smart and caring. Her favorite treat still remains to be peppermint.

Lillie is always so eager to please and very attentive. She does know all of her commands with only hand signals. Her favorite toy is a sky blue bunny with a squeaker. Her trainer is so thankful to have been a part of getting Lilly ready for her forever home.

Loving Our Time With Lillie

Every day continues to be a joy working with Lillie. She is an absolute love bug, and is always looking for affection. She is always very attentive to her surroundings and the people around her.

Lillie absolutely excels at her daily training, and has mastered nine extra tricks in addition to the standard commands. She is always eager to please and is super alert whenever it’s time for treats or a meal.

This week Lillie was evaluated on how she responds to common activities (being groomed, being around other dogs and new people, etc.) and she did well in every single scenario.

Lillie’s trainer is so excited to know that Lillie is going to her forever home in the next couple of weeks, but she is also going to miss her a lot. It’s worth it knowing she’s going to have a long, happy life with her family.

All Star

Lillie’s awesomeness has continued to shine through this week. She continues to excel with all her commands and extra tricks. She’s a smart girl and if you dish out the treats, she’ll show you what she’s got.

Lillie has learned to play fetch, which is a rare accomplishment for a greyhound. When she’s not playing and training like a superstar, she loves to cuddle with her trainer and get belly rubs.

Graduating to Advanced Training

Lillie and her trainer have spent this week focusing on hand signals to go along with all of the commands Lillie has learned. To do that they are using silent training, where her trainer only uses hand signals to communicate to Lillie what she wants her to do. Lillie is continuing to excel, and is always eager for treats and praise when she’s doing her tricks.

Lillie loves to play outside, and she and several other dogs have invented a new game that the trainers call “fencing”. The dogs run around the yard a few times, then bump their muzzles together, run and repeat.

Bananas & Marshmallows

Lillie’s trainer said that her personality is continuing to shine through after working with her this week. She is a huge lover and enjoys laying her head on your lap soaking up the attention. This week they tried a banana for a treat stuffed in her Kong with marshmallows. Her best description would be pure bliss.

Lillie is not only excelling with the basic commands, but she is with her extra’s as well. She knows “Show Me Love,” “Paws up,” “Spin” and this is just a few. She is such a smart girl. Lillie is highly treat and food motivated so that really helps when training.

Lillie has taken a huge liking to eating ice chips. After she is done playing outside, Lillie heads straight to the icy cold water.

Lillie is doing great and her trainer is looking forward to the weeks ahead helping to get her ready for her forever home.

Roaching Queen

As another week comes to a close Lillie’s trainer is so excited to report on her progress. Lillie is excelling in all of her training. She is very eager to please. Lillie is only slow to respond to “Wait” and “Stay.” She is very treat motivated and at times toy motivated. Lillie has even learned some extra commands such as “Bounce",” “Paws Up,” “Show Me Love”. Just to name a few.

Lillie’s personality is starting to blossom and it is so great to watch. She really enjoys playing outside with the other dogs and is content to retrieve a tennis ball for as long as your arms can stand to throw it. Nap time is always a happy time especially on the large pillows. She has even started to “Roach.”

Lillie can be very proud of herself… she is sharing toys now. Good girl Lillie. She is such a sweetheart. When she is lounging on the large dog pillows, she will either paw at you or give you her large puppy dog eyes until you give her a good rubbing and attention. She is so cute and so easy to love.

Soccer Star

This week has been a fun week full of lots of adventures for Lillie and her trainers. Lillie has a playful personality and lots of attitude, so her trainers have a lot of fun working with her. She is very treat motivated, so training has been going very well.

The dogs were allowed to run this week, and Lillie greatly enjoyed chasing a large soccer ball around the yard. She loves running and playing with the other dogs, and is learning how to share toys with all of her friends.

Lillie is an affectionate girl and enjoys getting lots of love and pets from her trainers. Get ready for Loving Lillie!

Lillie is excelling in her command training. She is both food and treat motivated and eager for praise. Her trainer is very excited to see the progress each week, as Lillie gets ready for her forever home.

Sweet Girl

The day of Lillie’s arrival was so sweet. She is very curious about her surroundings. At first she was nervous but she seems to be warming up and getting used to her new temporary home. Her personality is starting to shine.

Lillie’s trainer is looking forward to teaching and learning with Lillie. She has a mind of her own at times, but very eager for attention and love. Lillie has taken a real liking to toys that squeak. Her ears perk up and when it is tossed, she gets excited and shakes her head.
