More than most people realize. In Episode 3 of The Journey: Leadership Through Partnership, The Danny and Gunner Story , we explore why so many training plans fail, whether you're working with a service dog, leading a team, or trying to build better habits. Inconsistency, unclear expectations, and reactive decision-making can derail progress long before results have a chance to appear. Through Danny and Gunner's journey, Robert and Michele Forto share real-world lessons about structure, trust, accountability, and the power of showing up every day, even when progress feels slow. The same principles that create a reliable service dog partnership often create effective leadership. If you've ever struggled with a dog that seems stuck, a training plan that isn't working, or a goal that feels out of reach, this episode offers practical insights that apply far beyond the training field.
