My partner and I have an 8 yr old Belgian malinois and a 4 yr old lab plott hound rescue from the south. Any time Analise came to visit she wold instantly have them both at an even energy level and listening well while having "happy tails and happy visits". This is a feat on its own as the 4 yr old is a little high strung and the 8 yr old can be a little jealous, however she was able to communicate with both of them at the same time and get them to understand they were both equally important and would receive the same amount of attention. I attribute her ability to handle varying energy levels to her calm, compassionate, consistent demeanor and her attentiveness to the situation at hand. Analise was always the first one I'd check with if we needed a sitter for the night for our little fur babies.
