How a transition lesson usually runs
- The trainer shows you the cues and hand signals the dog learned, with the dog demonstrating.
- You practice each one yourself while the trainer watches and adjusts your timing.
- The session moves to a real spot, such as your entryway or the sidewalk outside.
- You leave with a short list of daily exercises, in order of difficulty.
- A follow-up date is set so you can check in on progress.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Is one transition lesson enough?
For some owners yes, but two or three spaced a week or two apart tend to cover more.
Does the dog have to be present?
Yes, since the point is to practice with the dog.
Can a different family member go instead?
Everyone who handles the dog should take part at least once.
How much does travel matter?
Quite a bit. Ask about fees for your area.
