EmpressΒ is a keen learner and has enjoyed working on new skills as well as practicing known cues and behaviours with various handlers. She has shown that she can transfer to new handlers easily and settle well in different sitters homes! Sometimes Empress can get activated from movement such as water coming out of a hose and is practicing keeping four on the floor in those moments. She is catching on quickly and doesnβt mind trading some treats for leaving water alone! Wonderful job, Empress!Β
