Hope is doing extremely well out in public with her owner. She has just about mastered all of her basic obedience and is alerting her owner appropriately when her assistance is needed. Hope and her partner are an excellent well seasoned team. Each understands the needs of the other well before any verbal cues are given. In another week Hope and her partner will be ready to take The Assistance Dog International Service Dog Test. These guidelines help myself and my partners of American Canine Assistance Program maintain proper industry standards. Hope is a wonderful and rare exception. I test many personally owned dogs as Service Dogs and very few pass, as they need an unusual level of confidence and reliability to perform well in public places. GREAT JOB to this team!
