Training Services Agreement
Rates
Rates for group training are $110 per dog for most eight week classes or $30 per each one-hour session. Rates for private in-home consultations/training are $100 per initial consultation and $65 per follow-up session.
Payment
Payment methods accepted are cash, check, money order, major credit card, or PayPal. If a check is returned for non sufficient funds, you will have 7 days to submit alternative payment and will be charged any additional bank fees incurred by Coos Canine Academy.
For all training options, payment is due in full on or before the first session.
Cancellations and Refunds
If the minimum enrollment for the class is not met prior to the first session, the class will be cancelled or postponed. We will notify you at least 1 day before the class is scheduled to see if you would like to enroll in an alternate class, receive credit towards a future class, or receive a full refund.
We will refund your class fee if you notify us with the request in writing at least 72 hours prior to the first class session (any enrollments within 72 hours of the start of the class are not eligible for refunds for any reason). To cancel please call us at 573-673-5372 or email us a cooscanineacademy@gmail.com. With 72 hours notice, your cost of class will be fully refunded or you can choose to apply it to further training.
For refunds on payments made via credit card, a credit card processing fee of 3% will be deducted.
Attendance
We are not able to accommodate make-up classes for sessions that you miss, but if you miss a session, your instructor will contact you to discuss what was covered. Students must attend the first session in order to continue with the class. Registration fees will not be refunded for students who miss the first class.
Declines and Referrals
In order to protect all participants in a class, we reserve the right to decline entry to any dog that presents behavior issues that may be dangerous, disruptive, or exacerbated by participation in a group class. If behavior issues are discovered during the class and the instructor determines that it is in everyone’s best interest for you to seek a private trainer, you will be provided with a qualified trainer referral and a refund.
Children
We encourage family members to come to training classes with the handler. The following guidelines must be followed with regard to children attending our dog training classes:
- Handlers must be at least 14 years of age.
- Handlers younger than 18-years-old must be accompanied by an adult.
- Children must be at least 5-years-old to attend the class.
- Parents must supervise their children during the entire class.
