I would get references from both, and ask them to be able to meet a dog they have trained, that way you get to see how well they are.

um depends on how bad the dog is. if your already dominant over your dog and your dog is very dog-friendly than a class will work! if you have a problematic pooch then i would suggest the hourly trainer.

The trainer may well be able to do what he/she says they can do, but will U be able to work with the dog afterwords?
I always recommend taking your own dog thru training classes because in the long run U have to able to handle the dog. If U do the classes U will have a better working relationship with the dog — and U will have the added benefit of having learned a skill for the rest of your life.

Are you wanting basic puppy training? Basic dog obedience? Or are you looking to fine tune some skills? Advanced training for competition? Or need some intense behavioral modification? What is your level of training experience?
If you are just looking for basic dog training, I would definitely go with the 8 week course. Repetitive training with you is the key. A good trainer can work magic in a very short time, but if you don’t have the knowledge or experience training dogs, you need just as much training as your dog does. The longer course helps work on so much with YOU and YOUR DOG. It helps to teach YOU how to handle your dog.
Now, if you are looking for something specific, such as wanting to fine tune a skill for competition, or if you have a behavior problem that is beyond what a basic class can offer, then I would go with the trainer.
Good luck! And remember to have fun!

It depends on what you are training for, age of dog, if the dog has any "issues", how much of a bond/control you have over dog, how much basic knowledge you have, how much knowledge the trainer has.
