Good questions
Before you begin.
How long does a package take?
Many run several weeks, with one lesson a week and daily practice between them. Progress depends on how steadily the household practices.
Can an adult dog learn obedience?
Yes. Adult dogs learn at any age, and some need extra repetition to replace old habits.
What gear is usual?
A flat collar or harness, a standard leash and small treats. A good trainer explains every tool.
What makes a package good value?
Clear goals, a written plan, practice in real places and a trainer who teaches you as much as the dog.
