Good questions
Before you begin.
Can leash pulling be fixed in a stay?
A stay can build the skill, but you must keep it up. Practice daily after pickup.
What tools might be used?
A standard collar or harness and a leash are common. Ask the trainer to explain each tool.
Will my dog behave the same for everyone?
Not automatically. That is why handoff lessons matter.
How do I test the skill?
Practice in new places with small distractions first.
