Good questions
Before you begin.
Should the vet be involved?
Often, yes. Medical issues can drive behavior, and a vet visit can rule them out.
What if a trainer says my dog is just dominant?
Ask for the evidence and for a plan based on how the dog feels. Be cautious of simple labels.
How long should a program last?
It depends on the dog and the trigger. A trainer should be able to give a rough outline and review points.
Is a second opinion rude?
Not at all. For serious concerns, talking with more than one professional is sensible.
