The glorious day has finally arrived when Max is consistently offering the behaviors I was looking for. He is potty trained – hallelujah!, he is excellent at getting conversations going between me and others and making it easy (when it would normally be quite hard), and he bumps me when I am getting nervous or agitated in public situations to remind me it’s all good and there is no reason to spin up. He is a godsend! Now that he is successfully fully trained, we have registered him officially as an autism service dog! Go Max!
