If you request a place on a 1-2-1 class or course without paying by return of a booking form, there is no assurance a space will be available on commencement of the 1-2-1 class or course. We will endeavour to contact you when places are limited.
Group Classes
We limit the number of dogs in our courses to provide the appropriate trainer to dog ratio. Booking in advance guarantees a place on our courses.
You must not knowingly book a dog that shows aggression or nervousness onto a standard training, gun dog or agility course, unless it is specific course that is intended to address these issues. We reserve the right to excuse dogs that are aggressive in class for safety of everyone.
We are unable to refund fees once the course has commenced and partial refunds for missed classes are not given. Please notify us beforehand if you will miss a class on a course or a 1-2-1 class. We will endeavour to ensure you are able to catch up at your next attendance or make up your missed class at another time.
A toilet break before each class will ensure your puppy/dog is empty and comfortable. Please be a responsible dog owner and always clean up after your dog. Take home all used poo bags and do not leave these on the premises.
For livelier, excitable dogs it can be beneficial to exercise your dog before class with a game or a short walk. Do not over-exercise your dog before a class otherwise they will be too weary.
Welfare and safety
Please keep to areas designated only for our training purposes. All dogs must be kept under the owner’s control and on a lead, except where specifically instructed by our instructors. You are responsible for the conduct of your dog at all times. Dogs in class must not lunge or bark at other dog’s present.
We provide a safe and secure environment as practicably reasonable and endeavour to apply good practices with all our training services. We endeavour to run all classes in as safe and professional manner, however remote, dog training is not without risk therefore participation in training and behaviour services is at the owner’s risk. Dogs Doing Better or any of its individual assistants, or helpers, will not accept responsibility for any loss, injury or damage to any persons, or dogs attending a 1-2-1 class or course, or to their property howsoever caused during the provision of dog training activities.
