Why You Need This Checklist

Have you ever asked a dog training question and gotten two completely different answers from two people who both seemed totally right? There is a reason for that — and once you understand it, everything clicks. Most dog owners are stuck in a frustrating middle ground: their dog is smart, responds well at home, and then completely falls apart on a walk, around other dogs, or in a new environment. You have tried saying no, you have tried corrections, and nothing seems to stick. You start wondering if you are doing it wrong, if the collar is broken, or if your dog is just stubborn. The truth is, the answer to almost every dog training question depends on exactly where you and your dog are in the training process. That is the insight that Canine Revolution Dog Training — one of the most respected voices in practical dog training — breaks down in detail. The team there has worked with hundreds of dogs across board and train programs, private lessons, and online coaching, and the patterns they see are always the same. People skip prerequisites. They guess on e-collar levels. They forget marker conditioning. They put their dog on place without building duration. And then they wonder why nothing works. This checklist pulls every actionable protocol from their training framework into one clean, step-by-step reference you can actually use. You will know exactly what the influence period is, how long it lasts, and what to do during it. You will understand working level — what it means, how to find it, and why it changes daily. You will have the full marker system laid out so you never confuse good, yes, free, and no again. You will know how to troubleshoot a collar that is not responding, how to run two dogs on one remote without correcting the wrong dog, and how to use place as a powerful daily structure tool. You will also have a clear framework for handling reactivity on walks, nighttime potty accidents, and corrections in both safe and dangerous situations. Whether you are just starting out or you are a graduate of a board and train program trying to maintain what your dog learned, this checklist meets you exactly where you are. Stop guessing. Stop second-guessing. Grab this checklist and follow it step by step — your dog is ready when you are.

What's Inside — Preview

Every checklist item comes with actionable notes to guide you — things like "Don't forget to do this before you start," "Avoid this common mistake," or "Set a reminder for 30 days out." Nothing vague, just clear next steps.

DECIDE Determine which training stage you are in before applying any protocol — beginner/in-progress or alumni/trained
DO If your dog just returned from a board and train program, immediately begin the Influence Period (Transition Period) protocols
DO Use a crate at nighttime and whenever you are not home during the influence period
DO Keep the leash on your dog anytime it is outside the crate during the influence period, even inside the house
DO Use place or downstay whenever you are home but not actively working with your dog during the influence period
