How coaching differs from a stay
- It starts where the problem happens, at your own door or on your own street.
- Changes are made in small steps, at a pace your dog can handle.
- The owner does most of the daily practice, with the trainer adjusting the plan.
- A veterinarian may be asked to rule out pain or illness first.
- Results depend on the dog, the household and consistent practice.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Can a stay fix leash reactivity?
A stay can build skills, but the habit usually has to be worked through at home too. Ask the trainer how they would plan the handoff for this kind of problem.
Should I see a vet first?
Often, yes. Pain and illness can cause sudden changes in behavior.
How long does coaching take?
It varies a great deal. Be wary of any plan that sounds quick and easy for a deep-rooted habit.
What should I ask a coach?
Ask how they work, what a session looks like and how they decide when to change the plan.
