Good questions
Before you begin.
How young is too young?
There is no single rule. Many trainers prefer puppies to be past key vaccines and settled in a home first. Ask your veterinarian and the trainer.
Are older dogs a good fit?
They can be. Adult dogs often focus well, though long habits take steady repetition. Ask the trainer about a dog your age and size.
What if my dog is anxious?
Some dogs do better with gradual, in-home work. A thoughtful trainer will tell you honestly whether a stay suits your dog.
Should I choose lessons instead?
If you want to build skills yourself or your dog is stressed away from home, private lessons may be the better route. Compare both.
