Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a trial lesson worth the money?
For most owners, yes. It costs a small fraction of a stay and teaches you something real about the trainer.
Can the lesson fee be applied to a later stay?
Some trainers do that and some do not. Ask before you book so there is no surprise.
How long is a private lesson?
Often about an hour, though shorter sessions suit puppies and anxious dogs. Ask what the trainer recommends.
What if I do not like the trainer?
Then you learned that for the price of a lesson. That is exactly why people try one first.
