Keeping the training alive
- Practice each cue yourself at the handoff while the trainer watches and coaches you.
- Leave with a written plan that spells out daily practice, house rules and cue words.
- Keep the first week simple, with short walks, calm routines and no crowded outings.
- Make sure everyone at home uses the same words and the same rules.
- Book a follow-up lesson soon, while small slips are easy to correct.
- Raise the difficulty slowly, adding busier places only when your dog succeeds in quieter ones.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my dog act differently at home?
Dogs link skills to places and people. At home the old habits are familiar, so consistent practice helps the new ones transfer.
How long should the handoff lesson be?
Long enough to practice every cue and ask questions. If it feels rushed, ask for more time.
What if old habits return?
Go back a step to an easier setting, then rebuild. A follow-up lesson can help.
Should I ask about aftercare before booking?
Yes. Find out whether follow-up lessons or check-ins are included.
