Treatment of Animals
I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for dogs and their owners. Physical punishment or intimidation of dogs is strictly prohibited by trainers, helpers, or clients during training sessions and outside of them. Examples of prohibited behavior include, but are not limited to hitting, kicking, spanking, screaming at or otherwise verbally intimidating the dog, choking, shocking, or spraying the dog. If you engage in such behavior during a training session, you will be asked to stop immediately. Persisting in this behavior or becoming confrontational will result in dismissal from the program. If it is brought to our attention that similar treatment occurs outside of training, we reserve the right to address the matter, which may include discontinuing services. Dismissal for violating this policy does not constitute an exception to the refund policy. Owners are solely responsible for their actions and their impact on the dog's well-being.

Bite History and Safety
If your dog has ever bitten anyone - including you, a family member, a friend or a stranger, or an animal — (excluding puppies playing), the trainer must be notified before training begins. This way we can set up safety measures for everyone. Proof of current rabies vaccination for all dogs with a bite history will be required before private training sessions begin. Safety in these cases is top priority. Client agrees to follow all safety protocols provided by the trainer without change. Client must also report any incidents or new behavior concerns promptly to the trainer. Failure to comply with this policy does not constitute an exception to the refund policy. By agreeing to participate in training, you acknowledge the importance of these protocols and accept full responsibility for your dog’s behavior and safety measures required.

Cancellation and Refund Policies

Cancellations must be made within 12 hours of a training session for private sessions, any cancellations made less than 12 hours will be forfeit. Any cancellations made by the trainer will be made up fully when rescheduled. Of course emergencies and illnesses happen, please don’t hesitate to reach out if something does happen. 

Future Services

Rescheduling for Weather
In the event of bad weather (e.g. heavy snow, icy conditions, severe storms, etc), a scheduled in-person session may be transitioned to a virtual session. Virtual sessions allow continuation of training progress despite the conditions. If a virtual session is not possible, rescheduling the in-person session may be discussed.
