Life Skills Dog Training Class

Terms & Conditions

Welcome

Thank you for joining the Life Skills Dog Training Class.

This class is designed to help you and your dog develop practical skills for everyday life in a supportive and positive training environment. Every dog is an individual, and I encourage all handlers to work at their dog's pace throughout the course.

My aim is to help you build confidence, understanding, and a stronger relationship with your dog while making training enjoyable and achievable.

What to Bring

Please bring the following to every class:

• Plenty of high-value food rewards

• Two of your dog's favourite toys that are similar in value and excitement

• A comfortable harness or flat collar and lead

• Water for your dog if required

• A mat, blanket, or bed for your dog to settle on

 

Arrival & Parking

Parking is available on the field.

For reactive, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed dogs, I recommend driving up the track and parking directly on the field where possible.

When you arrive, please give your dog a calm, high-value activity to calm them while you set up your space. If your dog will panic or not eat in this situation, remain with your dog while they have a calm activity on arrival.

The aim is to help dogs learn that arriving at class is calm and predictable rather than exciting or overwhelming which reduces barking.

Health Requirements

To protect all dogs attending, owners must ensure their dogs are:

• Up to date with vaccinations or protected through titre testing

• Receiving regular flea treatment

• Receiving regular worming treatment

Please do not attend class if your dog is unwell or showing signs of a contagious illness.

Booking & Payment

Places must be booked and paid for in advance.

Membership options include:

• One class per month

• Two classes per month

• One class per month with WhatsApp support between sessions

• Two classes per month with WhatsApp support between sessions

Membership fees are non-refundable and secure your place within the class.

Safety & Responsibility

Owners remain responsible for their dogs at all times before, during, and after class.

Please be mindful of other dogs and handlers and follow any instructions given during training sessions.

While every effort is made to provide a safe training environment, attendance is at your own risk.

I accept no responsibility for:

• Damage to vehicles or personal property while attending classes

• Injury, loss, or damage involving participants or their dogs

• Incidents resulting from failure to follow training or safety instructions

You remain fully responsible for your dog's behaviour and actions at all times.

Training Approach

My training focuses on positive, reward-based methods that help dogs learn through games, motivation, clarity, and engagement.

Exercises may be adapted to suit individual dogs and handlers where appropriate.

Communication

If you have any concerns or questions, please speak to me.

Open communication helps me provide the best possible support for both you and your dog.
