Below are just some of the things you will learn how to teach to your dog.
- Loose lead walking.
- Recall off-lead with your dog coming back to sit in front of you.
- Have your dog stay in the sit position at a distance of 3 metres from you for about 20 seconds before you return to your dog.
- Have your dog stay in the drop position at a distance of 3 metres from you for about 20 seconds before you return to your dog.
- The hand signal for getting your dog to stand and drop with you standing in front of them is also introduced.
- Left and right 90° turns with your dog at heel on a loose lead.

- Left and right circles (360° turns) continuing forward with your dog at heel on a loose lead.
