## Resource

In Part 4 of The Danny and Gunner Story , Robert and Michele Forto explore the moment every leader, team, and service dog partnership eventually faces: the test of pressure. Training is one thing. Real-world performance is another. As Danny and Gunner move beyond controlled environments and into unpredictable situations, their partnership is challenged in new ways. Through public access training, growing confidence, and increasing responsibility, they learn that success is not measured when conditions are ideal, but when circumstances become difficult. This episode examines the relationship between preparation and performance, the role of trust in leadership, and why pressure often reveals the true strength of any system. Whether you are leading a team, developing a culture, or navigating personal challenges, the lessons from Danny and Gunner's journey offer valuable insights into resilience, confidence, and long-term success.
