Service dog vest fit question
New vest arrived. Fits snug but doesn't rub. Anyone prefer harness vs cape style?
Hardware store narrow aisles
Loud carts and tight turns. Bullseye stayed on side pass.

Test day tomorrow. Partner has been solid in practice but I always spiral the night before.

Regional airport only. Byte spooked at the PA once but we reset and tried again. Progress not perfection.

Mochi leaned into me the whole time. Grateful training transfers to medical stuff.
