You’re the one who lives with your dog. If you’re having trouble with them, you need to learn what to do as well. That’s a big part of what happens in a private session.
At the start, your trainer will go through your dog’s history with you and look at the behaviour you want help with. It might be pulling on the lead, jumping up at home or getting a new puppy into a routine. We need to know what your dog is doing before we can help you change it.
Please get involved in the session. Watch what your trainer does, try it with your dog and ask if something isn’t clear. There will be work for you to do afterwards too. The private session is where you learn what to practise; you then need to keep doing it when we’re not there.
