Good questions
Before you begin.
Why is distance so important?
A dog cannot learn when it is overwhelmed. Working far from a trigger keeps the dog thinking.
Are muzzles or special collars part of the plan?
Sometimes a trainer may suggest gear. Ask them to explain the purpose and how the dog is conditioned to it.
Will we cure it?
Dogs often improve a lot, but no honest trainer guarantees an outcome.
What if my dog's reactions scare the family?
Call your veterinarian and a qualified behavior professional promptly, and add distance and barriers at home while you wait.
