Good questions
Before you begin.
Why not use a park instead?
A dog that is calm at a park may erupt at home. Training in the real setting teaches the habit where you need it.
Is there a travel charge?
Some trainers add one. Drives between the peninsula, the islands and the suburbs can be long, so ask first.
What should I prepare?
Treats, your everyday leash and a plan to let the usual trigger happen so the trainer can see it.
Do visits include a walk?
Many do, so leash habits get practiced on your own street.
