Good questions
Before you begin.
Do skills last after a stay?
Only if the household keeps practicing the same way. Plan follow-up lessons.
Does a stay suit every dog?
No. Very anxious dogs may do better with training at home.
Are visits allowed during the stay?
Ask. Policies differ, and some trainers prefer no visits.
Why do quotes for the same stay differ?
Stay length, attention per dog and after-stay support all change the total.
