Bonding Time

Xena is slowly coming out of her shell this week.  She is still jumpy when it comes to sudden movements and noises, or if people walk up behind her.  Her inmate trainer has been spending extra time bonding with her to gain her trust.  She is slowly but surely coming around.

Xena has shown no interest in toys - yet.  She is enjoying the laid-back life, called retirement, and wondering why she didn't hop on the band wagon earlier.

This week Xena and her inmate trainer are working on leash training, as well as other commands such as:  "let's go", "wait", "heel", "hurry".  She is slow to respond, but her inmate trainer has confidence in her and knows she will start picking it up very soon.
