  • All training is confidential between dog trainer and client.

  • Wise K9 Dog Training does not allow the use of any piece of equipment that would be aversive (i.e. can cause pain and discomfort, be this physical of mentally). 

  • This includes slip leads, choke chains, pinch collars, shock collars, rattle cans, spray bottles, compressed air canisters or any other device or method that can potentially cause harm, pain, suffering or fear to the dog. 

  • Clients are highly discouraged from intimidation tactics.

  • Any clients who continue to use such methods including harsh handling despite being asked not to do so will be asked to leave class or the one to one session with no refund given.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

  • These Terms and Conditions are in place for the safety and welfare of our clients.

  • We reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time.

  • Any changes will come into effect immediately.

  • By placing a booking you are deemed to have read, understood and agreed to them.

  • If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. 

 

TRAINING CLASSES

  • Female dogs in season are not permitted in class. 

  • Booking and payment in advance is needed to secure a place on any course. Places are limited to allow for appropriate dog to trainer ratio.

  • Payments for lessons are non-transferable and non-refundable.

  • You must not knowingly book a dog onto any course or workshop which shows aggression or nervousness. 

  • We reserve the right to excuse any dog that is aggressive or deemed not to be coping in class. 

  • If you do not advise us of the potential problems and disclose it in the booking process and your dog displays any aggression in class you will not be entitled to a refund. 

  • If you are unsure if your dog will be suitable for classes and have not made contact with us to discuss and assess your dog before your attendance you will not be refunded if your dog is not suitable for the class which you have booked.

  • Always clear up after your dog. 

  • When arriving at class, avoid meeting the other dogs on lead. Not all dogs are sociable and being in a new environment may react as a consequence. 

  • Do not let dogs off lead or drop leads unless instructed to do so by the trainer. 

  • The client (you) are solely responsible for their dog’s behaviour.

  • It may be beneficial to exercise dogs before class with a short walk. Do not over exercise dogs before class, otherwise they will be too tired and aren’t likely to want to work.

  • It is also a good idea to bring a kong, lickimat, chew or other food dispensing toy to class to amuse dogs while things are being discussed, preventing frustration such as barking and instead promoting calmness..

  • Consideration of other clients is paramount, both you and your dog are here to learn and have fun! Please switch off / turn mobile phones on silent when in class. 

  • Please do not take phone calls while in class.
