Ok..interesting day...we took Xena to her first club meeting..she did wonderful as i knew she would..although she was being slightly stubborn and wanted to do things her way..sounds familiar for some reason...lol...We started Xena on her tracking this morning...she did terrific!! we also worked with her on getting her to focus on me...that's when she decided that she wanted to do things her way no matter if you had hotdogs grilling on the grill..lol..i think when she saw me give her "The Look" she started to think "oh crap mom means business"...we got her to focus on her commands in the box...we then did some puppy bite work...more like puppy play to them but it lays a good foundation for when she is ready for bite work...it was a warm day and she was feeling a bit hot so she really didn't feel like chasing a tail for her bite work..although she did for a little bit and did great but she told me in her Xena way that was all i was going to get out of her..

Which is fine..we went over to the wading pool and she dove in like she was an accomplished swimmer...she splashed around with her paws while diving into the pool with her head..well it was just a wading pool so she couldn't go very deep but she tried..she did manage to soak me..she must have thought i was hot too...she was right...wow...a dog that can read my mind...awesome...so all in all Xena had a great session today...we would have taken pictures but of course i got all wrapped into what i was doing and forgot to bring out the camera...hopefully i will remember in the future..

I hope that you all have a great 4th of July and again thank you for reading my blog on Xena's training...
