Good questions
Before you begin.
Will a stay fix my dog's apartment habits?
Not by itself. A stay teaches skills in one place, and apartment habits only change when your household practices them at home too.
What if my dog is nervous around strangers?
Say so up front. A careful trainer will explain whether a stay suits a nervous dog or whether lessons at home would be calmer.
How should I prepare my dog?
Bring the food your dog already eats and any health records the trainer asks for. Keep goodbyes brief and relaxed.
How do I compare two programs?
Ask each the same list of questions and compare the total cost, not just the headline price.
