Good questions
Before you begin.
How old is too young for a stay?
Ask your veterinarian and the trainer. Many owners wait until a dog is older.
Can I do starter lessons online?
Some trainers offer remote support, but in-person lessons let them spot small things.
Is a package better than single lessons?
Often it costs less per visit.
What about adolescent dogs?
Adolescents benefit from structure, short sessions and plenty of exercise.
