Next Walmart Greeter

Bella has been doing great this week.  Her trainer said they are working on her fear of the floors because she has slipped a couple of times, so they are working through her fear.  She is improving each day.

Bella and her trainer are going over each command everyday so she will be ready to go when it is time.  Bella has learned five extra commands also, “Bow”, “Shake” and “Show Me Love,” just to name a few.    She is the most sweet, loving and caring dog.  Her trainer said you can’t help but love her.  Bella loves meeting new people…she gets so happy and wants them to come pet her.

So far Bella has not shown any signs of separation anxiety.  Her trainer has made sure to take the time to work on that along with Bella’s secondary trainer.  Her trainer knows that she will do great with her new family but Bella will be missed.

Bella Loves Everyone!

Bella had a good week this week. She is starting to run more than in past weeks.  She is not a fan of her kennel when her trainer is not in sight  She can be vocal when not getting all of the attention she feels that she deserves.   

She will do all of her commands and after a while she gets so excited that she will try to perform them all at the same time! (sit, shake, bow and speak). It is so cute to see.  Bella also loves peanut butter and will do any command you ask for it.   She is such a smart girl!

Bella is very loving to everybody, including the staff and jumps with joy, literally, when meeting anyone new.  Bella is definitely a people dog. She loves being around people and seeing what’s going on around her.

Bouncing Bella

Bella is doing great with all of her commands.  Sometimes she gets so excited to show off everything she knows, she starts to bounce around when it’s training time. 

Bella loves to be around people and the other dogs.  Sometimes she is so playful and energetic that it seems like none of the others can keep up with her, but then other times she is so calm and relaxed and perfect to cuddle with.  She is a greyt all around hound.

Love Bug

Bella is doing great!  She knows all of her commands but her trainer is reviewing a few of them with her to make sure she responds quickly and correctly.  Her trainer knows she is going to bring so much love into her new home, because whenever Bella meets someone new, she is so happy.

Bella loves to play with plastic bottles like they are toys. She is obsessed with her new blanket and hasn’t wanted to share it with any of the other dogs, so she and her trainer are working on practicing sharing.  Bella is such a sweet and happy dog that training is a breeze.

Got A Lot to Say

Bella has become very vocal this week when she becomes excited, but her trainer is working vigilantly to make sure her barking doesn’t become demanding. Bella is ready to go in the mornings, and loves to run and play with the other dogs. Afterwards though she will take a long nap to recharge her batteries.

Belly Rubs for Bella

Bella has been doing really well this week and her personality has really been shining through. She is so loving and wants to know everything that is going on around her. She likes to play tug-of-war with the other dogs but will also lay down and nap beside them. She listens very well and is incredibly treat motivated, so she’ll do just about anything for a treat. Bella loves belly rubs and ear rubs, especially while she’s falling asleep.

Just Lovely

Bella is doing great this week with her training. She is right where she should be at week 4. She knows hurry, kennel, wait, here, sit, down, bed and leave it well. They are working to improve on the others. 

She is such a sweet and loving dog.  She loves to lay down and cuddle with her trainer and will let them do just about anything - play with her ears, rub her belly, and so on.  She loves to run and play with all of the other dogs. Overall she is doing extremely well!

Sweet Bella

Bella was allowed to run this week, but she had more fun playing with the other dogs. She has a lot of energy, but also enjoys napping and playing quietly inside. She can be so relaxed and calm when she is in her kennel or bed. Bella is so loving and playful with the dogs and the people around her.

Dream Team

This has been a great week with Bella for her trainer.  They are training together whenever they can, and Bella is doing a pretty good job picking up her commands.  She wants to give love to everyone she sees, and when she isn’t able to, her trainer says she turns into a big baby.  

She isn’t a huge fan of sharing toys or beds right now, but she is a calm dog who doesn’t show any signs of aggression towards any of the others.  She loves walking around the dorm visiting all the other dogs and people, and when she’s done she likes to lay in front of the fan and fall asleep. 

Bright Bella

Bella started off trying to turn bath time into a game her first day and has not stopped playing since. She loves all of the toys available to her in the play room, and her trainer is having so much fun with her!

So far Bella seems to be taking to training incredibly well. She loves peanut butter, and it has motivated her to learn her name, “Bed”, and “Sit”. When she’s not training, she loves having her belly rubbed as she’s falling asleep.
