The three parts of a stay

  • Intake: the trainer reviews health records, your goals and how your dog behaves at home.
  • Daily work: short sessions, meals, naps and outdoor breaks follow a predictable rhythm.
  • Proofing: cues are practiced in new places so they work beyond a single room.
  • Updates: many trainers share short notes or clips so you can see progress.
  • Handoff: you practice each cue with the trainer before your dog comes home for good.

Good questions

Before you begin.

Does my dog live in a home or a kennel?

Both exist. Ask each trainer where your dog will sleep and who is present overnight.

Will it rain on training days?

Puget Sound weather is often damp. Ask how the trainer handles wet days and whether there is a covered or indoor space.

Can I talk to the trainer during the stay?

Policies differ. Ask how often you will hear updates and how to raise a concern.

Is it better than weekly lessons?

Neither wins every time. A stay gives concentrated daily work, while lessons teach you directly. Many owners compare both.
