These are the skills you use every day: coming back when called, walking without pulling, settling on a mat while you eat. Each guide breaks the skill into the steps a dog can actually succeed at, with the criteria to raise and the common mistake that stalls most people. Train in short sessions, end while your dog is still winning, and expect to rebuild each skill in every new environment.
