• Walk free beside Guardian
• Stop the dog
• Return to Guardian's side
• Relaxed settle
• Send the dog to bed
• Stay down in one place
• Food manners
• Road walk
• Examination of the dog
• Responsibility and care (covering health, worming, country code, laws, frightening, out of control and barking, the psychology of learning)
