Cancellation Policy
Once you’ve enrolled in one of our courses, classes or workshops, your spot is reserved just for you! Please keep in mind that all registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable. However, we understand that sometimes life gets in the way of your pup’s training journey. If you find yourself needing to cancel your enrolment, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. While refunds are not guaranteed, we’ll carefully consider each situation on a case-by-case basis and may provide a refund at our discretion.
Owner Responsibility
We want to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants, both human and canine. Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind:
Handlers’ Responsibility: Throughout the course, handlers are responsible for both their dogs and their actions. It’s important to maintain control and supervision at all times.
Leash Policy: Dogs must remain on a lead unless directed otherwise by a member of our experienced team. This helps ensure safety and control in our training environment.
Respect Others’ Space: We understand that every dog has unique needs. Please be mindful of other dogs and handlers’ space, as some may require extra room or consideration.
Cleanliness Protocol: Accidents happen, but we appreciate your cooperation in promptly notifying our staff if your dog toileted inside our venues. Please assist in clearing or disposing of any mess appropriately.
Health Awareness: If your dog shows any signs of illness, such as vomiting, diarrhoea, or coughing, we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing them to class. Your dog’s well-being is paramount, so please notify us promptly via email at Kat@pawsitivepawrents.ca or text at 613-668-9935
Equipment
We prioritise positive reinforcement and gentle training methods to nurture a strong bond between you and your furry friend. With this in mind, we want to emphasize our stance on equipment usage during our courses:
No Aversive Equipment: We do not endorse the use of aversive tools such as retractable leads, prong collars, shock collars, slip leads, or any other devices that could cause fear or discomfort to your dog.
Guidance on Alternatives: If you arrive with any of these tools, we’ll kindly advise you on alternative equipment that aligns with our positive training philosophy and is more suitable for effective and compassionate training methods.
Compliance Required: It’s essential to adhere to our equipment guidelines throughout the course. Failure to comply will result in exclusion from the remainder of the program, without refund.
Recommended Equipment: We suggest using a flat lead paired with either a properly fitted harness (preferably Y-shaped at the front) or a standard collar. These options provide comfort and control while promoting a positive training experience for both you and your dog.
