How many private sessions will you need?

Goal	Common package	Notes
Puppy foundations	4–6 sessions	Homework between visits
Leash manners	3–8 sessions	Depends on rehearsal places
Reactive / aggression	8+ sessions	Needs a clear behavior plan

When are private lessons better than group classes?

Choose private lessons when your dog cannot focus around other dogs, you need custom homework for your home, or you are working through reactivity. Group classes are better for socialization and affordable practice once your dog can learn in a busy room.
