Leading

Fable can help navigate environments and follow specific people. Fable can locate her handler's partner in a crowded store, specific cars in a busy parking lot, and even find the exit upon command, etc.

Crowd Control

Fable is able to orbit in circles around her handler to provide a safe bubble for her handler in overwhelming crowds. She also knows other positions, such as “counter” (leaning against the back legs of the handler tightly), to help provide a barrier for her handler. 

Medical Response Task Work

Fable is able to assist her handler with medical episodes by leading them out of overwhelming environments, providing medications and deep pressure therapy until the episode passes. 

Public Access

Fable locks in every time the vest comes out!  When working, she’s focused, calm, and observant, but off the clock? Nahh, she gets her zoomies out every morning before breakfast and likes to play hard with her toys, just like any other young dog. Also, Fable has been exposed to novel public environments on a regular basis since she was a wee puppy, which means she’s pretty bored of it now—so to keep her engaged we switch it up with her favorite treats (Plato’s fishies) or the occasional meat purée pouch, a toy with lots of play breaks on long days, and definitely verbal praise to keep her content.
