Good questions

Before you begin.

Can I visit the facility before booking?

Ask. A transparent trainer should be willing to show you where your dog will stay.

Is board and train right for a nervous dog?

It depends. Some dogs do better with lessons at home. Ask for an honest opinion.

What should be in writing?

The price, length of stay, what is included, how vaccinations are handled and the terms for early pickup.

What happens after pickup?

Plan for handoff lessons and daily practice so skills transfer to your household.
