ALL PAYMENTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE *

We do not offer a monetary refund. Instead we stand 100% behind our training.

Our dog training programs form a partnership between our clients, their dog, and the trainer. The success of our program depends on us performing our job correctly, and also on the owner following up on the homework and strategies that we lay out for them.

Instead of offering a monetary refund we will offer free follow up lessons as needed to help you reach your goals within reason. This means that we will continue to work with owners who are working hard and following our recommendations for as long as it takes. In this way, those owners who are truly invested in their dog’s training and well being are assured that they will get everything they need out of our program. Restrictions apply. Please contact me for details.

You expressly agree that the foregoing assumption of risk, release, waiver, and indemnity provisions are intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by applicable law, and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, you agree that the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
