Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a stay a shortcut?
It gives your dog a head start, but the new habits only last if you keep practicing at home.
What if my dog is nervous around strangers?
Some dogs settle better with lessons at home. Share your dog's fears openly before you decide.
Should I see where my dog will stay?
Yes. If you cannot view the space or learn how it works, keep looking.
Why do quotes differ so much?
Length of stay, one-on-one time and follow-up support vary widely between trainers.
