Good questions
Before you begin.
Who should come to the handoff?
Everyone who will live with the dog, if possible.
How many handoff lessons are typical?
One or two is common. Ask what is included.
What if I cannot attend?
Ask the trainer about options, such as a video call or an extra lesson.
Do handoff lessons repeat the stay?
No. They teach you how to use the skills in your own spaces.
