Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a stay a shortcut?
Not really. It gives your dog a head start, but you still have to practice the skills at home.
What if my dog is anxious?
Some dogs do better with home lessons. Tell the trainer everything about your dog's fears before you decide.
Can I tour the place?
You should be able to see where your dog will stay. If that is a problem, keep looking.
Why are quotes so different?
Length of stay, one-on-one time and follow-up support vary widely.
