What are Dr. Clark’s students saying about private lessons?
Conformation
Whether your private lesson is geared toward training your dog to show in obedience or conformation, a private lesson is the most direct route to the winner’s circle.
Over the last 38 plus years, and experimenting with show training classes versus private lessons, consistently, private lessons have produced a 100% success rate for people who wish to show their dogs. Group classes often produce less than 50% success rate in comparison to the private lessons. In a private lesson you learn how to show YOUR dog. One-on-one attention addresses all of your dog’s issues and your specific questions are answered; you don’t have to split the hour with 10 other people who have questions and issues that do not apply to you or your dog.
