Good questions
Before you begin.
How long does an obedience package last?
Many run several weeks with weekly lessons and daily practice. Progress depends on consistency at home.
Can an adult dog still learn?
Yes. Older dogs can learn new habits, though they may need more repetition to replace old ones.
What equipment is typical?
Often a flat collar or harness, a six-foot leash and small treats. Trainers should explain any tool they suggest.
How do I judge value?
Look for clear goals, a written plan, practice in real places and a trainer who teaches you as much as your dog.
