- What the daily schedule looks like, including rest, meals and time outdoors.
- Whether the price includes owner handoff lessons once the dog comes home.
- How you will get updates during the stay, such as short videos or written notes.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a stay a good fit for a dog raised in an apartment?
It can be, as long as the trainer plans for the change in routine. Ask how the skills will be rehearsed in a setting that resembles your building, with hallways, elevators and doormen.
How far outside the city do these programs tend to be?
It varies. Many trainers work on larger properties outside the five boroughs, so ask for the exact location and think through pickup and drop-off before you commit.
What happens when the dog comes home?
The stay is only half the work. Plan on handoff lessons and daily practice so your dog's new habits carry over to your own floor plan and your own sidewalk.
Should I visit before booking?
If the trainer allows it, yes. Seeing the sleeping space and the daily rhythm tells you more than any description.
