Trainers lend things — a long line for recall homework, a muzzle to condition with, a head collar to try. Most comes back. Some does not, and none of it is written down.

The overdue list is a follow-up

“You have had the muzzle six weeks, how is it going?” is a training conversation wearing a practical hat. That is the real value here.

Deposits are not your money
