Good questions

Before you begin.

How fast will my dog improve?

No honest trainer can promise a timeline. Progress is gradual and depends on practice.

Should a vet check my dog first?

If the behavior is new, yes.

Can a stay help with reactivity?

It can, though a calmer route for some dogs is coaching at home. Ask for the trainer's view.

What methods are best?

Look for reward-based plans with careful distance from triggers.
