Group Classes or Private Lessons?

Group classes offer a constructive environment to work on your training goals. Group classes are ideal for dogs who need to focus on socialization and obedience. A class environment is also a good fit for people wanting to get into specific sports or competitions with their dog. 

Pro:

• Cost effective - group classes are less costly due to having less one on one trainer help
• Community - group classes offer a safe place to learn and encourage others
• Controlled environment - group classes offer a structured learning environment and controlled exposure to other dogs

Con:

• Scheduling conflicts - group classes are specific days and times which can conflict with work or other plans 
• Lack of personalized training - group classes do not have the opportunity for as many personalized training tips for your dog

Private lessons offer personalized training to accelerate results. Working side by side with a trainer is ideal for more complex training goals. This could include anxiety, service dogs, therapy dogs, and larger behavioral problems.

Pro:

• Flexible scheduling - private lessons allow you to schedule whenever you want
• Accelerated results - private lessons offer specialized training plans so you can achieve your goals faster
• More support - private lessons are often paired with call/text support to ensure everything goes smoothly 

Con:

• Cost - private lessons cost more as you are working with a trainer one on one
• Trainer - private lessons are amazing, but finding the right trainer for you can be hard
