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 the trainer if your dog is a good fit.

How do I keep results afterward?

Plan follow-up lessons and daily practice. Skills last only when everyone at home uses them the same way.

What should I ask to see?

Ask to see the sleeping area, the daily schedule and how the trainer treats a nervous dog.

Why do prices differ so much?

Length of stay, individual attention and what is included afterward all change the total.
