DOGDAY LAB — OUTING PREPARATION

[ ] Dog comfortable and well enough for this outing
[ ] Secure, well-fitting harness/collar and suitable leash
[ ] Safe route with space and a way to turn back
[ ] Weather, pavement and local conditions considered
[ ] Appropriate water, rewards and waste bags
[ ] Toileting needs considered
[ ] No forced greetings planned
[ ] Another plan if the location is too busy

A completed checklist is preparation, not proof of safety or readiness.
