They are no better than their trainer, and some trainers are better than others. You might want to talk to them in person, and even sign up for a smaller dogs puppy class, they told us they occasionally do this. We took Joey to the trick training class, since he was 8 months and needed something more than the puppy class. I learned lots of methods to teach him tricks, and I really loved the class. We still practice every day, and I think Joey enjoys knowing lots of thing, and how to make me happy.
