#5 – What are your expectations for my dog?
This is mostly for you so you can feel like you are getting your money’s worth. You need to be on the same page as your trainer. If silently you think your dog will be doing a 10 minute down stay within a week and your trainer knows it will take several weeks based on where your dog is now, but neither of you voice your expectations, the training will feel like a failure (on all sides).
