1 to 1 dog training if so does it work?

Do you mean private training where the trainer comes to your house? I had my dog trained with a private trainer. After her initial lessons were over, she can is attend monthly group lessons for the rest of her life at no charge, and if I ever have a problem, the trainer will come back , and I did have to have him come back once. We've gone to a couple of the group lessons, , but it's hard to me to get her out that early. The private lessons are not cheap, but you should all around and see what's available in your area. Some private trainers charge by the lesson, and you can only pay for one lesson without further obligation. or your can sign up for something more. Just make sure you ask lots of questions when you call and don't sign up for anything that you aren't not comfortable with doing.

Best training you can get. Also the most expensive.
You can get good results from a small class-type training too... IF the trainer is any good. I went to a dog boarding place with my cattle dog and had EXCELLENT results. There was 6-8 dogs in the class. I took my pug to classes at PetSmart... BIG mistake. There was about 10 dogs in class (though most dropped out) but the trainer was lousy and my dog learned nothing. Granted, he's not nearly as smart as my cattle dog... but still. It was a waste of money.
So... yeah, if you can afford it, go one on one. But don't feel like you have to. Ask fellow dog owners where they went, ask your vet, call some local breeders, etc. Word of mouth is the best way to find a great trainer.

Yes i have, and yes the results were remarkable, turned a dog from a bad tempered snappy mutt into a lovable big softie. Wasn't cheap but the good ones aren't - worth every penny though.

yes, if you follow the advise an practise it every day. Dog training is not just a matter of 'OK, he' s learnt that, now we forget it and do something else' you have to keep reinforcing what they have learnt, to make sure you stay the boss and he stays obedient!

Yes it does. My trainer, Neil helped me with my pair of Rotties. They were so excited to see people they would jump up, he helped stop it and also helped stop them pulling me through the door to go for a walk. Try it. It doesn't work overnight and will take time and patience, but if you get a good trainer, it will work.

I took my GSD for this when he was about 4 months old, he bit the trainer's balls so I never went back, was too embarassed lol. We managed fine without the training as it was.

yes 1 dog teaches the other dog how to use a knife and fork - it terribly civilised - well done.
