Bookings and payment:

Payment is required in full before attending to a class.  To ensure you are guaranteed a place on the course, it is advisable to pay by BACS or Pay Pal on-line.  By completing a registration form you have acknowledged that you are aware of our terms and conditions.  Confirmation of your registration will be forwarded by email.  It is the client’s responsibility to ensure they arrive at the correct venue at the correct time.  Paws Out Dog Training reserve the right of attendance for all courses and training services.

A cancellation fee of full consultation fee will be charged if the cancellation is within 24 hours of the agreed date and time.

We cannot guarantee a place on a course unless prior payment has been made.  If you request a place on the course without paying, there is no assurance a space will be available on commencement of the course. 

Classes:

We limit the number of dogs in our classes to provide the appropriate trainer to dog ratio. 

You must not knowingly book a dog that shows aggression or nervousness onto a training course, unless it is a specific course that is intended to address these issues.  We reserve the right to excuse dogs that are aggressive in class unless we have assessed your dog for a re-socialisation class.  If you do not advise us of potential problems and your dog shows aggression in class you will not be entitled to a refund.  Contact us if you are unsure whether a class is suitable for your dog.  If we assess the dog to be suitable but it does not suit the dog you will be entitled to a refund, or offered alternative help such as working with the dog on a 121 basis.

We are unable to refund course fees once the course has started and partial refunds for missed classes are not given.  Please notify us beforehand if you will miss a class. 

Dog and handler etiquette:

When arriving at class please avoid meeting other dogs on lead.  Not all dogs like other dogs near whilst on a lead and may react as a consequence.  Do not crowd doorways and allow plenty of room for dogs to exit the hall or training fields.  Do not allow dogs to play together before the class outside or inside the venue this can cause over arousal and a lack of concentration and focus in the class.

Please make sure your dog has had a short walk and a toilet break and is hungry for some reward based training.  If your dog toilets in the area please clean up and dispose in the appropriate bins.

Attire:

Practical handling requires non slip footwear and be aware of weather conditions and dress accordingly. 

Welfare and safety:

Please keep to only the areas needed for the training and it is the handler’s responsibility to keep their dog under control at all times, on a lead except where specifically asked to let of the lead by the trainer.  You are responsible for your dogs’ behaviour, dogs in class must not run up to other dogs, bark or lunge at them or any persons.

We provide a safe and secure environment as practically reasonable and endeavour to apply good practices with all our training services.  We endeavour to run our classes in a professional manner taking all reasonable precautions when providing behaviour advice to minimise risk of injury.  However remote, dog training is not without risk therefore participants in training and behaviour services is at the owners/handlers risk.  Paws Out Dog training or any of its’ helpers or assistants will not accept responsibility for any loss, injury or damage to any persons or dogs attending the classes or to their property howsoever caused during the provision of dog training and behaviour services.

As a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and in accordance with membership Code of Practice we practise kind, fair and effective techniques avoiding the need for physical correction of any type.  Harsh handling of dogs is not allowed together with the use of check or choke chains and any other coercive or punitive methods including lead jerking, shouting or hitting is strictly not permitted.  No gadgets or devices are to be used in class that we consider aversive, such as slip leads, pinch collars, spray collars, compressed air canisters, rattle cans or water pistols or any other devices or method that has the potential to cause injury, pain or fear.  Any owner/handler who constitutes to use harsh methods when asked not to will be asked to leave the premises and not return.

Any dogs that are deemed to be unfit or unwell due to injury or disease will be asked to leave the class.  If your dog is in season, or has any illness or disease especially if it is contagious e.g. conjunctivitis or Kennel cough do not bring them to class if you are unsure contact your vet or call us.  All dogs should be vaccinated for their protection and the other dogs.
