Good questions
Before you begin.
Is board and train right for every dog?
No. Very anxious dogs may do better with lessons at home. Ask a trainer whether your dog is a good fit.
How do I keep the results?
Plan follow-up lessons and daily practice. Skills fade unless everyone at home uses them the same way.
What should I ask to see?
Ask to see where the dog will stay, how the day is structured and how the trainer handles a nervous dog.
Why do prices differ so much?
Length of stay, the amount of individual attention and the follow-up included all change the total.
