Good questions
Before you begin.
How long does a package last?
Often four to eight weeks. Ask how many lessons are included and how long each one is.
Can I keep going after the package ends?
Many trainers offer add-on lessons. Ask what they cost before you sign.
Does it cost less than a stay?
Usually, though the right choice depends on your time and your dog.
What if progress stalls?
Tell your trainer. A good plan can be changed, and sometimes a short stay is the next step.
