Visit in person before booking. Ask how many dogs the trainer takes at once, who will personally handle your dog, where dogs sleep, what methods and equipment are used, and how many follow-up lessons are included.

Others require you to drop off and pick up yourself — which many trainers prefer anyway, since the pick-up visit doubles as your go-home lesson. Ask when you request a quote; it is listed inconsistently on trainer websites.
Board and train is one of the few dog training services people routinely travel for, precisely because the dog stays on site — you make the drive twice rather than weekly. It is common to use a trainer one to three hours away, and some programs draw clients from neighboring states. Widen your search to the state page before settling for a program you are unsure about.
