Good questions
Before you begin.
Will my dog be fully trained afterward?
No dog is finished after a few weeks. Expect solid starts that need steady practice.
Can a trainer fix a very specific habit?
A specific goal is a good thing to name up front. Ask how the trainer plans to teach it.
What is off-leash reliability?
It is a long project that depends on safe spaces and years of practice. Be wary of quick promises.
How can I keep skills strong?
Practice a few minutes daily, vary places gradually and book a refresher if things slip.
