Good questions
Before you begin.
How many lessons do most dogs need?
There is no single answer. Simple manners can take a handful of visits, while long-standing habits take longer. Ask the trainer to sketch the plan before you pay.
Does buying a bundle save money?
Often it does, but wait until a first session convinces you. Ask how leftover lessons are handled if you stop early.
What do I put to a trainer before booking?
Ask how they teach, what happens in a typical session, which tools they use and how they will know your dog is improving.
Will a young puppy cope with private lessons?
Yes, when sessions are short and focused on name games and easy leash steps.
