Questions people ask
What happens in a one to one dog training session?
Usually the trainer starts by asking about your dog and what you’d like to work on, then shows you exercises to practise together. It’s worth asking each trainer how they run a first session, as it varies.
Is one to one training better than group classes?
Neither suits every dog. One to one sessions focus on your dog’s needs, while a group class helps a dog learn around others. Many of the trainers here offer both, so you can ask which they’d suggest.
