Good questions
Before you begin.
How do I tell whether a method is humane?
Ask the trainer to describe what they do when the dog reacts. Watch your own dog's comfort.
Should I walk away from a trainer who uses harsh tools?
Many owners do. Your dog's well-being comes first.
Can a trainer diagnose a medical issue?
No. Only a veterinarian can, so loop yours in.
What is a realistic goal?
Less intense reactions and more choices for your dog, built over time.
