I don't post much of Forte working because it's mostly mundane errands and grocery shopping. But he really has matured in a dependable and clever Service Dog.

Coming into the big grocery, which I tend to avoid because it's daunting, someone with a small dog in their cart was exiting. Small dog starts barking and Forte looked at me and then smoothly backed up with me to let them pass.

Leaving the store I realized that I've not done any find the car training with the rental as this is only our second day with it. I asked him to find it anyway because I couldn't remember where I'd parked. He was slower going, but he did in fact lead me directly to the rental.

And I'm so grateful to him. He really is such a special dog.
