A combination of both now. Training myself and also using a competitive obedience trainer.
When the pups are young, it is very good to get an experienced eye on both them and you, plus the socialization aspect in all its varieties, then I take a break, train myself, and go back if and when we hit a rough patch, or just for my trainer to review our progress.
Dara is overdue for a re-check with the trainer!
