Good questions

Before you begin.

Can a stay fix reactivity?

Some programs try. Ask for specifics, and be cautious about big promises, because reactivity usually needs work in your own neighborhood too.

Do I need a veterinarian visit first?

Yes, if the change is recent. Pain or illness can alter how a dog acts.

Which methods are kind?

Reward-based, distance-based plans that build confidence. Avoid anything that relies on fear or pain.

How long does progress take?

Often several weeks or months. Steady practice matters more than the length of any one session.
