Fillable PDF — type into the fields online or in any PDF viewer before printing.
Each row is one command or behaviour: name recall, sit, down, stay, leave it, loose-lead walking, settle on a mat, the crate, the car, meeting other dogs. The first column is the behaviour, the second is the cue and the reward you use for it, so that everyone in the house says and does the same thing. Then come the weekly columns, each a small cell where you write the number of sessions and the minutes, like "5 / 20".
At the right-hand end sit five tick boxes under the heading Progress. They are not a grade; they are a quick way to mark where a behaviour is today, from "only at home with a treat in my hand" to "in the park with a dog walking past". Score it at the end of each block and you can see which behaviours are moving and which have been stuck at two for a month.
Choose four or six weeks before you download. Four gives wider weekly cells, which suits writing out sessions and minutes in a hurry; six covers a longer block of training on a single sheet. Either way you get twelve rows, a ruled box at the foot for what worked, what to change and what to ask the trainer or the vet, and a dog, trainer and start-date line across the top. Every cell is a PDF form field, so the log can be typed up or filled in with a pen by the back door. One landscape page in US Letter or A4.
