Good questions
Before you begin.
How long does a program last?
It depends on the habit and the dog. Many run several weeks, with follow-up afterward.
What is the first thing a trainer does?
Usually asks a lot of questions, then watches the dog. Be wary of a plan offered before anyone has seen the behavior.
Do I need to change my own habits?
Often yes. Owners practice a large share of the plan.
Can behavior ever be cured?
Many habits improve a lot, but no honest trainer promises a cure.
