These sheets are the ones I give my clients after a session. Each one explains an exercise step by step: what to do, how long, which reward, and the most common mistakes. They work for puppies and adult dogs, at home or on walks around Antibes, Biot and the Alpes-Maritimes.
Start with the recall, loose-lead walking and stay: they make every outing safer. If a behaviour worries you (pulling, reactivity, guarding), a sheet is not enough: a session lets us work on it together.
