Signs a stay may not fit
- The dog is very fearful or panics when separated from family.
- Reactions happen at home, so skills learned elsewhere may not transfer.
- A recent change in appetite, energy or temperament suggests a health problem.
- The trainer cannot explain how fear or stress would be handled.
- You want a plan you can see and follow week by week.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Who should I see first?
If something has changed suddenly, start with a veterinarian. Then talk to a trainer about the plan.
Is coaching slower than a stay?
Often, since changes happen step by step. That pace can suit nervous dogs.
Will coaching fix the problem?
No one can promise results. Progress depends on the dog, the plan and daily practice.
Can coaching and a stay be combined?
Sometimes. Ask a trainer whether a short stay would help or get in the way.
