Good questions
Before you begin.
Is a package slower than a stay?
Usually, because practice is spread out. But owner skills grow along the way.
Which suits a busy family?
A stay shifts daily work to the trainer, while a package asks for evening practice.
Can I do both?
Many owners do lessons first and add a stay if they need a bigger jump.
How do I know a package is worth the money?
Look for a plan on paper, lessons held in realistic settings and goals you can measure.
