Good questions
Before you begin.
How many weeks does a package last?
Commonly four to eight weeks, but plans differ.
Can a package follow a stay?
Yes. Many owners use a package to reinforce what the dog learned.
Do all dogs finish at the same level?
No. Progress depends on the dog and on practice at home.
What is a fair way to compare packages?
Compare the number of lessons, their length and the price per lesson.
