Whether your dog needs to learn basic commands or just has to stop chewing on your favorite shoes, lessons with a professional trainer can help. However, you must decide whether to enroll your pet in private or group dog training classes.
Private Lessons Older dogs may prefer private lessons to group classes. Adult dogs often do best in one-on-one environment where they won't get distracted easily. Teachers also can cater private classes to both the dog's and the owner's specific needs. Dog owners can also ask more questions in individualized lessons than they would be able to in larger settings. Still, there are some limitations to this format. While fewer distractions can create a better learning environment, the real world is full of other people and animals that can cause your pet to lose focus. Incorporating distractions into a training session is a great way to get a dog ready for this everyday challenge. However, creating distractions in a private lesson is more difficult than in a group dog training class. Puppies in private classes also won't get the exposure to other dogs that can help build their confidence. This lack of confidence could lead puppies to fear other dogs as they grow older. Group Classes Group lessons, on the other hand, can help puppies get comfortable around other pooches. The puppies can also better learn to deal with the distractions they will face in their daily lives. There are benefits for humans, as well. They can talk with other dog owners and get advice on common puppy problems. However, because there are so many dogs in group settings, the instructor may not have the time to address your pet's particular behavioral issues. There are pros and cons to both private classes and group dog training. Either could improve your pet's behavior. You just have to choose the one that is best for your pooch's age and personality.
