Good questions
Before you begin.
Where do people usually start looking?
Many begin with a veterinarian's office, neighbors and local community pages. Treat every suggestion as a lead to check, not an answer.
What questions belong in a first call?
Ask how they teach, how a lesson runs, what it costs in total and how they measure progress.
Should I watch a trainer work before I commit?
If they allow it, yes. Seeing how a trainer handles a dog tells you more than any description.
How many trainers should I talk to?
Two or three is enough to compare tone, clarity and price.
