  • A first consult helps you decide whether a stay is the right tool at all.
  • Handoff lessons show you the cues, hand signals and timing the dog learned.
  • Follow-up lessons catch problems early, before old habits return.
  • Lessons can happen at a trainer's space, a park or your own street.
  • Ask whether lessons after a stay are included or priced separately.

Good questions

Before you begin.

Should I book lessons or a stay first?

Many owners try lessons first. If the main issue is your own handling, lessons may be enough.

How many follow-ups after a stay?

It depends on the dog. A trainer can suggest a number once they have seen how your household practices.

Where do lessons take place?

Some trainers use their own space, some a park, some your home. Ask which they offer.

Can I use lessons to prepare for a stay?

Yes. A lesson or two helps you learn the basics so you are ready for the handoff.
