Dogs must be in good health, physically sounds and protected from disease. Each dog must be under the routine care of a veterinarian and current on vaccinations recommended by that veterinarian.
Children. Any child participating in training activities should be old enough to listen to, understand, and follow instructions of the dog trainer. If children are present at the training session, they must not distract the dog or the trainer at any time during the session.
Cancellation policy. We value the mental and physical health of our clients and pets and understand that circumstances may arise where you may be unable to attend your scheduled session. You also agree that time is valuable to our trainers and other clients. If you, for any reason, need to cancel a training session, you must notify your trainer 12 hours or more prior to your scheduled appointment so that the trainer may have enough time to schedule another session to fill the allotted time.
Clients who cancel outside of the 12-hour window may reschedule without penalty.
Due to the inconvenience of last-minute cancellations and the potential loss of time and profit, clients who cancel within the 12-hour window will lose this session and will not be able to make it up at a later date. This cancellation will be counted as one of the paid sessions.
There may be times when an animal (or human) is not in a state of mind conducive to learning, due to stress, fear, hyperactivity, health issues or lethargy, or they may just need a break. We strive to ensure that each pet and client is in the proper state of mind so that learning can be engaging, fun, and memorable.
If, for any reason, your trainer suggests that your session end within the first 30 minutes of the session starting, your lesson will be credited to your account to be used at a later time or toward another service we offer.
If, for any reason, your trainer ends the session after 30 minutes of the lesson’s start, that session will be counted as a normal credit.
