Good questions
Before you begin.
How many weeks will it take?
A typical series lasts several weeks, with one session weekly and short practice every day.
Is my adult dog too old?
No. Adult dogs learn well, although older habits can take extra repetition.
What equipment is typical?
Most trainers want a well-fitted harness or flat collar, a regular leash and tiny treats, and they should explain anything extra.
How can I tell a series is good value?
Look for stated goals, a written outline and a trainer who coaches you as much as your dog.
