Hi everyone! Guess what I’ve been doing on the weekends…Freestyle training! I even got a new kennel to use when I’m at the Obedience Club of Chattanooga (OCC). I think Mommy laid it down on it’s side, he, he, but it still worked. Don’t I look pretty in purple?
Mommy said I get to stay in it for a while every time we are at training – and each time further away from her – so I don’t bark and carry on when we get to the Trial in May. Mmm hmm. sure Mommy, I’ll let you keep thinking that. Then surprise!
In our club there’s just me and Mommy and the little pug mix Nina and her Mom Julia. Julia is officially Mommy’s trainer. When she gets Mommy to do it right, everything works better…even me! This video is from the last time we were there rehearsing and learning better ways to do things. Please remember we are what’s called a work in progress. Heck, even the music is. Mommy edited the music and Daddy hasn’t gotten around to smoothing it out yet, so please don’t judge. I’ll have enough of that up in Cleveland, Ohio in May.
We hope you have a real good weekend with lots of together time.
Love and hops, Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess

It was so much fun to see both you and your mom, Xena! Your routine is beautiful, there are so many different movements to remember, you did great. Your mom’s movement commands were so graceful that just added to our enjoyment. You guys are quite a team! ~Belle, Bessie and Bea Pups and My Margret

Thanks, Phenny and Nelly. Lucy has a lion cage and is terrified to go in it, BOL. It’s stored out in the shed. I love my big wire crate at home (you’ve seen it in pictures on my blog), but it is too much to take it with us all the time. XOX Xena
