Behind the guide
Clear information, no pitch.

Good questions
Before you begin.
What should I budget for a stay in this region?
Think of $1,500 to $2,500 or more for two to three weeks. Trainers set prices, and extras differ.
Can I book through this site?
No. This site has no form, and nobody is taking requests from it yet.
Is a stay good for an apartment dog?
It can be, if the trainer prepares the dog and you for the return home.
How do I pick between programs?
Ask each one the same questions and compare totals, schedules and methods.
How long should a stay be?
Many run two to three weeks, but the right length depends on your goals.
What are red flags?
Vague answers about methods, no way to see the setup and promises of instant results.
