Good questions
Before you begin.
Can an older dog still learn?
Yes. Dogs of any age can learn new habits, though patience and shorter sessions help.
How many lessons are in a package?
Often four to six, but trainers differ. Ask what is included and how it is scheduled.
Will my dog behave perfectly afterward?
No trainer can promise that. The goal is better habits and a plan you can follow.
What should I bring?
Bring your dog's regular food, a flat collar or harness, a sturdy leash and a list of habits you want to change.
