The Dog Training Diary

See how far you've come

Training goes faster when you can see where you are. A quick note after each session tells you which cues are ready for new places, which rewards your dog loves and which days were harder than others.

This printable diary explains my Engage, Cue, Reward method and the five distraction stages, then gives you a goals page, a cue tracker, eighteen session logs, weekly reviews and a milestones page.

I've been training dogs for over 30 years, and I made this the way I'd set it up if we were sat at your kitchen table together.

What's inside

• How to use the diary, with hints for short sessions

• The Engage, Cue, Reward method, and a rewards list for your dog

• The five distraction stages and the three Ds

• Your goals and a cue tracker for every stage

• Eighteen session logs and two weekly reviews

• Milestones and a quick-reference page

Why this diary is different

• Every cue gets its own stage, so you know what to practise next

• Short logs that take a minute to fill in

• It works for puppies and adult dogs

• It never uses punishment or telling off

• It's built on games plus structure, with reward-based training

Who it's for

Families training a puppy or an adult dog, anyone working through the distraction stages and anyone who likes to see progress written down, wherever they live.
