Home Visits Around a Board and Train Stay: Costs and Fit

A stay happens somewhere else. Your sofa, your front door and your neighbor's dog do not come along. A home visit puts a trainer in the rooms where habits are tested, and the general estimate near Chattanooga is about $100 to $200 per visit, with travel sometimes adding to the total.

Good questions

Before you begin.

Is a home visit a substitute for a stay?

Sometimes. If the problems show up at home, such as door barking, a visit can go straight at them. A stay suits owners who want concentrated daily work.

When is the best time to book one?

Many owners book a visit within the first week or two after pick-up, while the stay routine is still fresh.

What should I prepare for the visit?

A list of the situations that go wrong, the dog's usual equipment and the people who live with the dog. Short videos of the problem can help.

Do trainers travel to every town?

No. Each trainer defines a service area, so ask whether your address is inside it and whether a travel fee applies.
