Good questions

Before you begin.

Why not just train at a park?

Habits formed at home show up best at home. Practicing where the problem occurs helps the lesson carry over.

Do trainers charge for travel?

Some do beyond a set distance. Ask before booking, especially if you live toward Hopkins or Eastover.

How do I prepare for a visit?

Have treats, the everyday leash and any gear ready, and let the usual trigger happen so the trainer can watch it.

Can a visit include a walk?

Many do. Walking your own street at the end ties the home work to real life.
