About this episode
Most training failures are not random.
Whether you're working with a service dog, managing a team, or leading an organization, the same problems tend to appear over and over again: unclear expectations, inconsistent standards, and reactive decision-making.
In Episode 2 of The Journey: Leadership Through Partnership: The Danny and Gunner Story, Michele Forto examine why progress alone doesn't create reliability and why strong systems matter more than good intentions.
Drawing from Danny and Gunner's service dog training journey, they explore how clarity, consistency, and accountability become the foundation for success in both training and leadership.
If you've ever wondered why some teams thrive under pressure while others struggle when conditions change, this episode offers practical lessons that apply far beyond dog training.
