Foundations First

Welcome! This page is your training toolkit. These handouts are here to support what we’re working on in your sessions and help you build solid daily habits with your dog.

You don’t have to go through everything at once! Start with the skills that match what you’re working on right now, and come back whenever you need a refresher.

Learn how to mark the exact moment your dog does something right using a simple word like “Yes!” or a clicker.

Your environment matters. Learn how routines, management tools, and structure can make training easier for both you and your dog.

Teach your dog how to pause and take a breath, even when life is exciting.

Training is a process—some things take time. Learn how to build confidence and clarity through short, consistent practice.
