Board and Train in St. Petersburg, FL: Costs and Questions

Good questions

Before you begin.

Is board and train right for every dog?

No. Very anxious dogs may do better with lessons at home. Ask whether your dog is a good fit.

How do I keep results afterward?

Plan follow-up lessons and daily practice. Skills last only if everyone at home uses them the same way.

What should I ask to see?

Ask to see where the dog will stay, how the day is organized and how a nervous dog is handled.

Is there a plan for storms?

During hurricane season, ask what the facility does if a storm is forecast and how pickup would work.
