There is no magic wand in dog training.  We hope that our training classes will be fun for you and your dog. The classes will be work for you, though! Enjoyable work, hopefully!  You will need to practice with your dog 2–3 times a day for 5–10 minutes preferably in a variety of locations e.g., at home, outside, away from home, in order for you and your dog to gain as much as possible from the classes.
