The first a female German Shepard [Sniper] and a male Chocolate Lab [Captain]

Beautiful animals, both are adult, I'm gona kinda watch how she works them, I didn't see what she did with the other animals~it seemed like all of a sudden they would do anything she said. I do see how she caresses, whispers, and slips something to them and they need her look into their eyes. I can't hear what she's telling them, the animals act like it's a secret only they know.
We picked up Captain yesterday, Sniper a couple days back, the two are not fond of each other and vie for her wink or something.
I was thinking, why two at the same time, that makes 3 with our McNab.

Hoviv our McNab was not happy to see the others. We'll see.

So is she training them for others to use, or planning to keep them?
I hope the dogs all learn to get along. The only service dog I know doesn't seem to play and hang out with other dogs---maybe I am just not there when it happens.

She'll work them to fit needs of those who need. To wake someone if they're having a nightmare, bring a phone, when a person stops the dog will face the opposite direction so no one approaches from the rear without the person knowing, if the person has that fear, or take and action if the person is about to have a seizure. Help a person to dress or undress.
Guys, people with TBI, need help with Red Flag items or meds. They will learn to do things dogs would normally Not do and do it when/as needed.
