Help with this tool

Start at the locked door

Write the entry and alarm sequence in the order it happens. Identify where the dog should wait while the lead or harness is attached and which doors must remain closed.

Demonstrate equipment fit

A written note cannot replace a first walkthrough. Show the walker how the harness closes, how tight it should be, what backup attachment is used, and which equipment belongs to this dog.

Describe triggers as situations

State what the dog sees, what it does, and what response works. Include safe crossing points, no-go areas, permitted treats, cleanup, water, and the exact return-home sequence.
