Accessibility & Reading Options

Reading and navigating

The website uses a consistent header, descriptive page titles, heading structure and a skip-to-content link. Guide pages include a contents list and links to related resources. All articles and plans can be read without JavaScript.

Use the keyboard to move through links, buttons and form controls. Visible focus outlines show the selected item. The mobile menu can be opened with its labeled button and closed with the same button or the Escape key.

Text reflows on narrower screens and at enlarged browser zoom levels. Motion preferences are respected for smooth scrolling and interface transitions. Illustrative images have alternative text; purely decorative graphics are hidden from screen readers.

Tools and print options

Forms use visible labels and text feedback. The training log and other interactive tools require JavaScript; relevant guidance remains available as ordinary pages when scripts are unavailable. The resources page also links to simple text and CSV templates.

Print controls use your browser’s print dialog. Article print styles remove most navigation and promotional material so the exercise is easier to reference. You can choose a printer or a local PDF destination if your browser provides one.

A timer is a convenience, not a requirement. There are no forced timed interactions or sounds that need to be heard to complete an exercise. Finish practice whenever your dog needs a break.

Tell us about a barrier

If something is difficult to read or operate, contact the publisher with the page address, the task you were trying to complete and the browser or assistive technology involved, if you are comfortable sharing it.

We do not claim formal certification or complete compatibility with every assistive technology. Reports help identify practical improvements. Do not include passwords, private training notes or unnecessary personal information.

Choose a reading route that fits the task.

You can use the website as a longer read or as a reference to a particular section. Page headings describe the subject, while guide contents link to the preparation, practical steps and later questions. Choose the route that helps you understand the complete exercise without having to hold every detail of the page in memory.

Move through the page without relying on pictures

The practical instructions are written in text. Photographs illustrate a situation, and decorative shapes are not required to interpret a step. Read the nearby captions and explanation when a figure supports a decision. If an image or diagram leaves an essential part unclear, identify that passage when reporting the barrier so the problem can be described precisely.

Keyboard users can move among links, controls and native disclosure sections. Guide contents are compact on smaller screens and available through their labeled disclosure. If you open the mobile menu, the labeled menu control or Escape key closes it. The focus indication helps show where the next keyboard action will take place.

Use an alternative format when the tool is not convenient

The interactive tools depend on JavaScript, but their surrounding guidance remains ordinary page content. Text and CSV downloads offer another way to keep a note or reference. You can also print a guide or plan through the browser. Choose the format that helps the task rather than treating an interactive control as the only way to participate.

The timer uses visible text feedback and a quiet countdown; an audible signal is not required. Its completion does not control access to the instructions or require you to continue an exercise. Other tool results also appear as written information. Read the output and its limitations before choosing whether it suits the situation.

Describe a barrier by the action that became difficult

An actionable report might say that a particular label was unclear, a menu could not be closed or an essential line was cut off after enlarging text. Include the page and intended action. You may add browser or assistive technology details if comfortable, but a personal training history is unnecessary to explain the interface problem.

The publisher contact page is the route for that feedback. This statement describes current features and available alternatives; it is not a certification or a promise of complete compatibility. If one route is difficult, a printable resource or the page directory may provide another way to reach the relevant material while you describe the barrier.
