Public Review – 3-Month Private Dog Training Course (£480 total | £160 per month | £80 per hour)I would like to share my honest experience in a respectful and constructive way.The course was a 3-month private training package costing £480 in total, which equals £160 per month for 2 hours of training, or £80 per hour. For me, £80 per hour is a significant amount of money, so my expectations regarding professionalism, punctuality, and consistency were naturally high.At the beginning, the trainer was attentive and the sessions felt focused and helpful. However, after the first month, it felt as though very little new guidance or structured training was being provided. The sessions became less engaging and did not feel as productive as they initially were.Additionally, the trainer often arrived about 15 minutes late and finished approximately 15 minutes early. Many sessions felt rushed, especially when another client was booked immediately afterwards.After speaking with other clients who attended the same course, many shared similar concerns about time being consistently shortened. Knowing that others had the same experience was disappointing.When paying £80 per hour, I believe it is reasonable to expect a full, dedicated hour of training, consistent effort, and professional guidance throughout the course. Unfortunately, that was not always reflected in my experience.Before booking, I would encourage others to think carefully. Paying this price does not guarantee that your dog will improve, and the quality and consistency of the sessions may not always match the cost.I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as professionalism, preparation, punctuality, and genuine commitment are especially important at this price point.
