Group vs. Private training

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

In last than 4 weeks we are bringing home our new puppy. She will be about 4 and 1/2 months old and I know I'd like to start training as soon as possible. I'd like as much input as I can get about group vs. private training. What are your opinions and how do you know which is right for your dog? What did you choose and why?

[Ziggy]

I chose private training for Ziggy. One of the reasons was I wanted my husband to attend the training as well. A private trainer made it easier for us to work with his busy schedule and really can't beat the convenience of having her come to us.
I like the fact that we had our trainer's full attention. She answered all of our questions and gave us solutions to our issues. If we had any questions in between sessions, we can always reach her by email/phone.
I like her methods, and the best part is.. it works!!! Ziggy was a wild beast when we first got him, but now he is all rehabbed out!!!! I think it is worth it to get a private trainer.
By the way, Valerie (Valerie and Cody) is our trainer.
