The city covers a little over 18 square miles and sits at elevation 630 feet, with Davis Boulevard, Loop 820, Precinct Line Road and State Highway 26 as its main roads. Nearly all of it is built up. The most common reasons owners look into a stay here are leash pulling, jumping on guests and barking at the front window, all of which are daily habits.
Habits that show up daily need daily repetition, which is what a stay supplies. What it cannot supply is your own consistency afterward. Ask the trainer to coach everyone in the household, including children old enough to hold a leash. If one person lets the dog jump while another corrects it, the dog will learn whichever is easier.
A good test of any program is whether the trainer can describe a normal Tuesday. Wake time, potty breaks, training blocks, play and lights out should all be easy to explain. Back home, repeat that rhythm for the first week. Dogs relax faster when a day looks the same as the last one, and your own sidewalks make a calm first classroom.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a stay worth it for jumping and pulling?
Many owners find the daily repetition helpful, but results still depend on practice at home. Ask how the handoff will teach you to repeat the work.
How long should I plan for?
Two to three weeks is a common stay. Shorter and longer programs exist, and the best length depends on the dog's goals.
Can I stay in touch during the stay?
Policies vary. Ask what kind of updates you will receive and how often.
