Alexa has helped pet sit and walked my last two dogs and was able to handle them with no problem. When our 2 year old Aussie was a puppy Alexa was able to follow the training that we had in place. Now that the dog is older and has lots of energy, Alexa can keep up on walks and is able to restrain her when she gets too excited. Our last dog, a golden retriever, was very friendly but enormous and again Alexa had no trouble keeping up with his house rules and handling him during play. She is very kind, thoughtful, and considerate, and will be a friend to both the dogs and their humans
