Good questions
Before you begin.
What can one lesson accomplish?
Usually a clear plan and a few starter exercises. Real change comes from the practice you do afterward.
Do I need a package?
Not at first. Try one lesson if you can, then buy more only if the style suits you and your dog.
What is a fair question to ask first?
Ask how a typical lesson runs and what the trainer would do if your dog got stuck. Their answer shows their approach.
Are lessons good for adult rescue dogs?
Yes. Adult dogs of any history can learn, and a trainer can pace the work around what your dog already knows.
