I cap the number dogs booking on to a maximum of 5. This is so that the dogs can cope better in class and it also means that the class can be more tailored to the dogs/owners. This allows for more training progression and time to ask me questions creating a more personal experience with me as your dog trainer.
Some other dog trainers offer 5 or more sessions in a course but I understand that life is busy and it's rare that most people have the time to commit to all the sessions. This means that people often miss out on a week of training due to their commitments meaning they have lost money and fall behind in the training. This is another one of the reasons I keep my classes to a maximum of 5 dogs because I can cover more content in the four weeks.
Clients are asked to sign a disclaimer regarding their responsibilities and liability for their dog’s behaviour before the start of any training session. I reserve the right to decide the most appropriate approach for dealing with a client’s needs with regards to their dog’s training issues or behaviour. You will need to fill out a booking form about your requirements and everything about your dog. It is necessary to fill this in before coming to class, if it isn’t filled in I reserve the right to cancel you off the course. These forms are so I can get an insight to your dog, whether they are suitable for classes, keep everybody safe and helps be place dogs appropriately in class.
I will send out a confirmation email when booking on with a list of what to bring with you.
I will take photos and videos of classes for publicity purposes, but we will always ask your permission at the start of a session before doing this. If you do not want us to take photos or videos of you and/or your dog, please let us know at the start of the session or state this on the booking form.
You are permitted to take photos and video of you and your dog during the classes. You are not permitted take any video or photography or voice recordings of other clients or me training.
Any footage taken during the classes cannot be used to promote or market other services or businesses.
I cap the maximum number of dogs booking onto class at 5. This is so I can spend more time with each of you and help you as much as I can, have time for any questions, etc. Smaller classes also means the dogs coping better and I can progress you on much more with your dogs to get the most out of your training classes!
We are family friendly! Your household must remain in the area I set out for you unless they are training the dog out on the floor. You can bring young children with you, however; it is your responsibility to look after them in class. They will need to remain seated unless they are training the dog with you. As you can imagine children running around can be very distracting for the dogs in class and we need to look at safety. We recommend you bring them an Ipad and headphones if you think they might get bored.
I teach you how to train focus, marker words, how to teach a new behaviour, down, station training, settle, loose lead walking, recall, leave it, ‘not jumping up’ and much more!
Unfortunately, as you can imagine this is hard to cover in class. However, upon booking in your confirmation email you will receive a password for your online support platform, which is included in your price. Here you will find lots of information about different things that owners often struggle with. I am also available in between classes, so if you need advice please give me a phone call or email and I will be happy to advise as much as I can.
Don’t worry! It is a lot of information to take on in class when you are trying to listen and focus on your dogs, which is why I will send a summary email of what we covered in class, to practice more at home.
