TRAINING RESULTS
I understand that Kari Joly and Elysia Ostrander (who are recognized to be the Trainers) will make every reasonable effort to help me achieve training and behavior modification goals. I understand that there are no guarantees of my dog’s performance or behavior as a result of providing professional animal behavior modification.
I understand that I, and the members of my household, must follow the Trainer’s instructions without modification, work with my dog daily as recommended and constantly reinforce the training being given to my dog.
I accept that the training method used will involve the use of rewards such as, but not limited too: food, toys, play, physical affection and life rewards.
I recognize that Kari Joly, Elysia Ostrander Pawsitive Families Education & Training are not responsible for any unintentional errors, omission or incorrect declarations.
I further understand that dog behavior is not static and that my dog will not continue to perform even trained behaviors without ongoing practice. This is especially significant in cases involving any type of aggression, where although the dog’s behavior may be modified, the dog is never considered ‘cured’. My dog’s behavior is ultimately my responsibility.
