Terms & Conditions

Group lessons*:

The group course requires preparation, space rental and the hiring of assistants. In addition, once your place is reserved, it is no longer available to another potential customer, as the number of places is limited. For this reason, full payment is due upon registration, and is subject to the following cancellation conditions:

Any cancellation must be made at least 10 working days before the start date of the course for which you are enrolled.
For any cancellation between 5 and 10 working days in advance, the payment may be applied to another service.
For any cancellation less than 5 working days in advance, the total amount is non-refundable.

Dog showing blatant aggression in a group class:

As part of any group class, if a dog demonstrates blatant aggression towards a human or another dog, we reserve the right to expel that dog for the comfort and safety of all other participants. In the event that your dog is expelled from a group class, you will be able to choose from:

1. Continue to attend the class without your dog in order to learn the exercises and then practice them with your dog at home
2. Change for a private course at home. In the case of the Obedience-Beginner group course, an amount corresponding to the expected price of the “Canine ABC” video set will be credited to the purchase price of the private course.
3. Cancel your participation. However, the course is non-refundable for the reasons listed above

Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult to be admitted

However, if the 2nd payment has already been made, it will be refunded, less an administration fee as described below under the section “Administration fee for all refunds”.

Please note that as the payment system is not linked to the calendar, automatic reminders from the payment system may be sent to the client before the deadline indicated here. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

Overtime:

Since the private class or packages contain a lot of information and several exercises to teach you, every minute of your package (or class) is precious. In fact, many of your questions will be answered during the course (or package). For this reason, it is recommended that you take note of your questions and send them by email or ask them at the end of the sessions.

Any additional time spent at your home will be billed at the current hourly rate (in 15-minutes increments) and must be paid at the end of the session before the dog trainer leaves.

Cancellation or postponement of appointments:

We ask that you notify us of your intention to cancel or postpone an appointment at least 48 hours in advance except in the following cases:
For an appointment scheduled on a Monday, notify us before the previous Friday at 5:00 pm.
For an appointment scheduled on a Tuesday, notify us before the previous Saturday at 5:00 pm.

You will be charged 50% of the consultation price if you have to cancel or postpone the appointment between 24 and 48 hours in advance, except:
For an appointment scheduled on Monday: between Friday 5:00 pm and Saturday 5:00 pm.
For an appointment scheduled on Tuesday: between Saturday 5:00 pm and Sunday 5:00 pm.

You will be charged the full amount of the consultation for any appointment cancelled or postponed less than 24 hours in advance.

Refund requests (private lessons and behavioural packages):

All requests for refunds on the services mentioned in the title are subject to an administration fee as described below under the section “Administration fee for all refunds”.
Sessions that have already taken place will be invoiced at the hourly rate in effect at the time of the cancellation request.
Any video content included in the package or course is non-refundable and will be charged at the price in effect at the time of the cancellation request. See the “Online Video Content (Internet)” section below for full details

Administration fee for ALL refunds:

Any refund request is subject to an administration fee of 10% of the total original invoice, in addition to the other deductions indicated above.

Maximum durations of private lessons and packages & recommendations:

In order to be effective in the evolution of your companion’s behavior and/or training and thus offer you the maximum chance of success in achieving your goals, it is recommended not to space the meetings more than 2 weeks apart and to practice the suggested training one or more times a day between each session. For this reason, we ask that all meetings be taken within the following maximum time frames:

• 4 – 6 hours: ideally 5-10 weeks – maximum allowed: 18 weeks
• 6 -11 hours: ideally 10-20 weeks – maximum allowed: 40 weeks

Once the maximum duration is reached, all sessions that have not yet been scheduled will then be considered cancelled by the customer.
We reserve the right to consider certain exceptions as long as they have been discussed before the end of the maximum period.

*Online video content (internet):

Any video content included in a package, course or other training is non-refundable, once online access is completed. Delivery of said online access is deemed to have been completed once the email containing the access keys has been sent to the customer.
