Good questions

Before you begin.

When is a home visit the better choice?

When the trouble happens at home, such as barking at the doorbell, counter surfing or bolting out the front gate. Seeing the real setup helps a trainer make a practical plan.

Will a trainer drive to my part of the county?

That depends on the trainer. Ask whether they visit your address and whether a fee applies before you agree to anything.

Who should be home for the visit?

Everyone who lives with the dog, if possible. Dogs settle faster when every person uses the same cues.

Does this work in an apartment or condo?

Yes. A trainer can use the hallway, the elevator lobby and nearby sidewalks to practice real-life manners.
