Good questions

Before you begin.

How long is a typical stay?

Two to three weeks is common, though some programs run shorter or longer. Ask what the trainer recommends for your dog and why.

Will my dog be lonely?

Some dogs miss home. Ask where yours will sleep, how many quiet hours it gets and what the trainer does for a dog that frets.

What is the handoff?

It is a lesson or two where the trainer shows you the cues, timing and routines, so the habits carry over at home.

Do I need to visit first?

It is a good idea. Seeing the space and meeting the trainer tells you more than any web page can.
