Good questions

Questions, answered.

What exactly is board and train?

The dog lives at a trainer's place for a few weeks, often two to three, with short sessions and long rests built into each day. You are taught the routine near the end.

What is a rough cost near Knoxville?

Typically $1,500 to $2,500 or more for two to three weeks. Fees are set by the trainer, and extras can raise the total.

Does the season matter?

Yes. Heat, storms, pollen and holiday travel all affect how a dog settles. Ask any program how it handles the season you pick.

What goes on my list of questions?

Where the dog will sleep, the number of dogs per trainer, the methods used, how you get updates and what happens if the dog gets sick or stressed.

Does a stay suit every dog?

No. Shy, senior or fragile dogs can be better off with lessons at home.

Will the dog be a finished product afterward?

The dog will have practiced skills, and the household must keep them going.

No. No trainer, facility or business is named, listed or ranked.
