Good questions
Before you begin.
Is my adult dog too old for obedience work?
No. Older dogs learn new routines, though a long-practiced habit may take extra repetitions. Short, gentle sessions suit stiff joints.
How many lessons does obedience usually take?
Many families see steady change over four to eight lessons with daily practice. Complex habits can take longer.
Does obedience help with leash pulling?
Yes. A dog who waits, checks in and settles often finds walks easier, and the skills overlap.
Does a package price lower the cost?
It can, but only if you use all the lessons. Ask what happens if your plans change.
