What shapes an obedience package
- The number of sessions and weeks they stretch across.
- Which skills are included and how they are tested.
- Whether work starts in a quiet space and moves to public places.
- How much practice you must do between sessions.
- Whether a final review or refresher is built in.

Good questions
Before you begin.
How does a package compare with a stay?
In a package you do the daily practice yourself. In a stay the trainer does much of it, and you learn the handoff afterward.
How long does a package take?
Usually several weeks, so the dog can practice between sessions.
Will my dog be reliable everywhere afterward?
Reliability grows with practice in many places. No program makes a dog perfect, so plan for ongoing work.
What equipment is typical?
A flat collar or harness, a leash and treats. Ask any trainer to explain what they use and why.
