Here Comes Athena!

Athena is all ready for next week's graduation.  She knows all her basic commands and performs them very well for just about anybody.  Her trainers taught her "kiss" and "shake".  She knows them pretty well, and they will continue to work on them up until she graduates. 

Athena loves to play, especially with the other dogs.  She is such a happy girl all the time and will make you smile at how silly she can get.  She warms your heart with those beautiful eyes and her trainer is going to miss this well behaved and obedient girl.  Look out world, her comes Athena!

Irresistible Athena

Athena's inmate trainer is very pleased with how well she performs her commands and how obedient she is.  Her trainers have introduced "shake" to her extras and she seems to be picking it up.  With a little more work she will get it just fine.

Her trainer is continuing to work with her behavior around the dorm.  She really doesn't have any issues that are bad, but he is trying to make her more settled when being petted by people.  She just gets so excited for attention from anyone that will give it to her.  She is super affectionate and this definitely makes her so lovable!    Ready or not, here comes Athena!

Ready to Show You Love

Did you hear that I will be going to my forever home soon?  Heck, I could spring this joint early, since I know all my basic commands like the back of my paw.  I am the Queen of good behavior after all,  so that should shorten my time here, but my trainer has other ideas for me.  He is going to teach me "kiss", "shake" and "bow.  He tells me all the time how smart I am, so I should master these in no time.

If you are looking for a loving, beautiful greyhound then I am your girl!  I love to be loved on and will lay there as long as you dish out the attention.  I think I saw my inmate trainer shed a tear the other day when he was talking about my graduation day, and how it will be here in no time.   He knows that I will not disappoint my new forever family.  I have plenty of love and kisses to give!

Happy-Go-Lucky

This week Athena’s inmate trainer worked to fine tune all basic commands.  He said that Athena continues to show her wonderful happy-go-lucky attitude.  She adapts wonderfully around all of the inmates and staff. 

In the upcoming week he plans to introduce a few extra commands to keep training fun.  Athena is a very loving girl who can’t seem to get enough attention.  

Queen of Good Behavior

Athena has done wonderfully with everything her inmate trainer has taught her.  She knows all of her basic commands.  "Jump" was introduced this week and she does it very well.  Most girls can "jump" better than the boys, since they are in the top crates at the track.

Athena is eager to perform, please and learn.  She is so loving and lovable.  She plays extremely well with the other dogs, and is very submissive.  She's the complete package.

Next week her inmate trainer will continue working on her commands and may introduce a couple of extras. Her trainer will also keep working on reinforcing good behavior.  This has not been too hard to do as Athena is the queen of good behavior!

Requesting Love and Attention, Please

Athena is doing really well with her training!  This week she and her inmate trainer focused on “sit” and “down”.  She listens really well and is coming along splendidly with everything!  She can be easily distracted, but her inmate trainer is making sure to reward her focus with lots of love and praise.  

Athena’s inmate trainer plans to introduce toys a little more over the next week as she’s still new playing with them.  He says that she is a very playful girl and plays well with humans and other dogs.  She’s very loving and doesn’t seem to have the least bit of dominance or aggression.  Her inmate trainer believes that she will adapt well to any family as long as she gets plenty of love and attention.  

Such A Sweetheart!

Athena is adapting extremely well to her new environment here at the prison.  Since arriving, she has been such a sweetheart!.  She loves human attention or affection.  Her inmate trainer said she will be very easy to train, as she is praise motivated.  This week they worked on "heel", "bed", "stay", "here" and her name.  She is slow to respond, but it's still early in the training. Next week Athena's trainer will introduce "sit" and "down".

Athena is a very obedient and easy to train.  Her inmate trainer said it is a joy working with this beautiful girl.  She is the most loving dog he has ever been around, and has nothing bad to say about Athena.  She has already won over a lot of the guys in the program with her sweet, loving, playful and fun-loving personality.  It is going to be a sad day at the prison when this girl leaves.

Happy-Go-Lucky

Athena arrived at the prison without a care in the world.  She is very outgoing and very, very loving.  She adores affection and loves to be petted.  As long as you dish out the petting, she will stand there and receive it.

Her inmate trainer worked on leash walking, "bed" and "kennel" etiquette this week.  Next week they will work on more commands.  Athena is a happy-go-lucky greyhound during her yard runs and gets along great with the other dogs.  Her inmate trainer feels she is a smart dog and will be easy to train.  He knows these next 9 weeks will fly by with this delightful girl!
