Good questions
Before you begin.
How soon should I book a lesson after pickup?
Many trainers suggest within the first week or two, while the routine is still fresh.
Can follow-up be done by video?
Some trainers offer it. Ask whether video fits your dog's needs or whether in-person is better.
Is follow-up the same as a handoff lesson?
A handoff teaches you the skills at the end of the stay. Follow-up adjusts the plan once you are living with them.
How many lessons do owners usually need?
It varies. Ask the trainer for an honest estimate.
