I want to get my dog comfortable in a group environment but am worried about having control over my dog/their behavior.
After the intro session, I would start off in a private lesson format.
Once we feel ready to add in more distractions (people, dogs, etc.) we can set up a one on one session with you and your dog, but invite other clients and their dogs to join in to create a group like session. You and your dog would still be the focus and the exercises would be around helping you and your dog.
