Training Policies
Vaccinations
Proof of current vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella) is required prior to attending first training session.
Refunds
Owners purchase an enrollment with a commitment of honoring each appointment and to working with their dog at home throughout the week and between class sessions. No make up sessions are offered for missed classes at this time. Refunds will be made on a case by case basis at the discretion of Happy Dog Spot.
In the event there are not enough dogs registered for a scheduled class, the owner will be notified that the class will be rescheduled. If the rescheduled day and time is not agreeable, a full refund will be made.
NO GUARANTEE is given on training programs.
Every dog is an individual and the success of ANY training program, no matter how good the instructor or materials, is dependent on the owner/handler’s interaction, relationship, amount of practice, and level of commitment. Happy Dog Spot has no way to control these factors and therefore cannot guarantee any final outcome.
