Commands and Definitions
Come to Sit
Recall
Always done off leash. The dog will leave any distraction to return to owner and sit beside them.
Sitting or Laying Down for a long period of time
Sit and Extended Sit
Down and Extended Down
Can be done on or off leash. The dog will hold either a sit or down position through many distractions.
Sitting or Laying Down on a Defined Object
Place
Can be done on or off leash. Place is a great confidence builder for dogs. The dog can choose to either sit or lay down on the defined object but must hold that sit or dow through many distractions. In the 2 week unleashed or custom plan, the dog will do both a "sit place" and "down place" when given the specific command.
Walking Beside the Owner
Heel
Can be done on or off leash. On leash, the dog will walk with a loose leash directly beside the handler. The owner can choose which side the dog will walk on at the start of training-if no side is designated, the dog will automatically be taught to heel on the left. Off leash, the dog will maintain the correct position without a leash and be expected to hold that position through many distractions.

The dog will either be put in a place or down command inside the house and the door will open. The dog will be expected to hold that command and not go through the door until they are released by the handler.
