Good questions
Before you begin.
How many weeks should I expect?
Many packages run several weeks, with a weekly session plus short daily practice.
My dog is seven. Is that too old?
No. Older dogs often learn manners well, but replacing long habits can take extra repetitions.
What equipment will I need?
Typically a flat collar or harness, a six-foot leash and soft treats. Ask about anything else.
How do I judge value?
Look for written goals, practice in real settings and coaching that teaches you to carry on alone.
