- Walking beside you without tension on the lead.
- Distance and duration for stay, added gradually.
- Proofing against doorbells, bikes, food and other dogs.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does the order matter?
Each skill supports the next. A dog that cannot hold a sit will struggle with a stay.
Will my dog be perfect at the end?
No honest trainer promises that. You should finish with a working set of skills and a plan for keeping them sharp.
Can a programme be paused for holidays or illness?
Ask before you pay. Some trainers allow rescheduling and some do not.
Will practice in a quiet park carry over to the high street?
Not automatically. Skills need to be rebuilt in busier places, which is why a good programme raises the difficulty in steps.
