Good questions
Before you begin.
What if the trainer will not explain?
Treat that as a warning sign and look elsewhere.
Is a prong or shock collar a red flag?
Ask why it is used and what alternatives exist. Many owners prefer gentler options.
How can I see the method?
Ask for a demonstration or a short video.
Does a gentle method work slowly?
It can take patience, but it builds trust.
