Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a stay good for young puppies?
Many trainers prefer to work with very young puppies through lessons at home. Ask your veterinarian and the trainer.
What is the benefit of a stay?
Daily practice with an experienced person can give a head start, but you must continue the work.
Can I visit during the stay?
Ask about the policy. Some trainers limit visits to help the dog focus.
How do I choose between a stay and lessons?
Consider your schedule, your puppy's temperament and how much you want to learn yourself.
