  2. It is the clients responsibility to ensure they attend at the correct date time and place for their session after confirming their booking.

  4. You may transfer you booking to another date up to a week before your booking. You may do this once only.

  5. We reserve the right to change, amend or postpone the date or time of a session at short notice. This may include running a session online instead of in person.

  6. If when attending a session it is deemed by the trainer necessary to remove the dog from class on welfare reasons such as stress or health concerns a 50% refund will be given.

  7. If your dog comes into season please let your trainer know as soon as possible. Your booking may still go ahead or be rescheduled as the discretion of the trainer.

  8. If you are unable to attend a class on the day of a booking due to illness of the dog or owner, the class can be rescheduled to a later date, no refund will be given. You may do this once only.

  9. If a training session is missed as part of a course, the session cannot be repeated and therefore the owner forsakes the money pre-paid for this session.
