Influencing animals by using Animal Ken normally has a difficulty of 6; however, animals that have had special training are more difficult to affect.  Any “working” animal has a diff 8 to influence using Animal Ken. Working animals include everything from those herding sheep, to seeing eye dogs or hearing assistant cats, to police dogs. The difficulty is only increased while the animal is actually working, meaning while they are with their owner/trainer or otherwise “on the job.” When in doubt, please call a judge.
