What to check before a stay
- Where the dog sleeps and how much time is spent alone.
- How training sessions are laid out through the day.
- Handover lessons for you, and whether they are included.
- Rules on visits, photos and updates.
- Anyone running a boarding business in England needs a licence from their local council, so ask to see it.
- How far the handover lessons are from where you live.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Does a stay fix behaviour problems?
It can help with manners. Fear and reactivity usually need work at home as well.
What follow-up is reasonable?
At least one or two handover lessons and a plan for daily practice.
Is it fair to ask to see a session?
You can ask. A trainer who refuses all visibility is worth questioning.
Do board and train stays suit London dogs?
They can, but the handover matters more in a city. Ask how the trainer will prepare the dog for your own pavements, lifts and stairs.
