CPR Canine Training LLC

 Supportive Tools. Real-Life Solutions. Handler Empowerment.

Welcome to the CPR Canine Resource Center — a curated collection of tools, templates, and trackers designed to help you, and your dog stay connected, make progress, and grow together with calm, patient, respectful guidance.

Track each training session with purpose. These logs help you record what you worked on, how your dog responded, and what to focus on next. 

Complete a Daily Session Log

Track behaviors objectively by describing what they look like—not just what you think they mean. Great for enrichment projects, reactivity logs, or progress tracking. 

Use the Behavior Observation Tool

Access forms and reflection tools designed to help you respond, recover, and rebuild after difficult training moments or incidents. Includes the Emergency Log and Support Plan. 

Log a Reactivity Event

Used by CPR Canine to guide our in-home assessments and behavior evaluations. 

View the In-Home Assessment Tracker

Designed to help you reflect on the emotional side of training—your wins, doubts, growth, and handler mindset. A space for honest tracking and self-compassion. 

Start Your Journal Entry
