Good questions
Before you begin.
How long does a package run?
Often several weeks. Each session teaches a step, and daily home practice makes it stick.
Is a puppy too young for obedience?
Not for gentle basics. Many trainers start with short sessions and add more as the puppy grows.
What tools do trainers use?
Often a flat collar or harness, a standard leash and treats. Ask your trainer to explain any other tool.
How do I know it is value?
Look for clear goals, a written plan and practice in real settings.
