Consider starting your checklist with the kitchen in mind.

The dog may be released from the front or the side.The kitchen is one of the most important (and expensive) rooms in any home. The dog must remain in the place in which it was left (it may change position) until the evaluator instructs the handler to release the dog. When instructed by the evaluator, the handler tells the dog to stay and walks forward the length of the line, turns, and returns to the dog at a natural pace. The handler may not force the dog into position but may touch the dog to offer gentle guidance. The evaluator must determine if the dog has responded to the handler’s cues. The handler may take a reasonable amount of time and use more than one cue to get the dog to sit and then down. Prior to this test, the dog’s leash is replaced with a line 20 feet long. HOW IT WORKS: The dog must do sit AND down when cued by the handler, then the owner chooses the position for leaving the dog in the stay. This test demonstrates that the dog has training, will respond to the handler’s cues to sit and down and will remain in place (sit or down position, whichever the handler prefers).
