QUEENIE joined Ashleyβs string at the end of June and spent some time in the advanced kennel working on various skills so that Ashley could get to know her. After a few weeks, Queenie switched to staying at home with her sitter to practice foundations using the online training platform of video lessons and video calls that Ashley started as a pilot project. Queenie is keen and her obedience is transferring well to her new handler!
