Good questions
Before you begin.
How many lessons should I plan for?
Many everyday goals take a handful of lessons, plus daily practice. Ask the trainer for a rough plan and what could change it.
Are packages a better deal than single lessons?
They often lower the price per lesson, but start with one visit if you are unsure about the fit.
What should I ask first?
Ask how they teach, what a lesson looks like, what tools they use and what the total cost will be.
Is one-on-one better for shy dogs?
Often yes, because the pace can match your dog. Tell the trainer about any fears before the first visit.
