Policies & Procedures

TRAINING AVAILABILITY

MEDIA RELEASE

Sit Happens Dog Training, LLC. may use pictures/videos of me or my dog for publicity or promotional purposes, without any liability or obligation of any kind to me.

GUARANTEE

Our services are not guaranteed. Dog behavior can change over time due to developmental periods, aging, and health. Pet owners influence their dog’s behavior and must do the assigned training homework for optimal results.

TRAINING SUPPLIES

Clients are responsible for providing the necessary materials needed for training. Including, but not limited to: treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, etc.

TRAINING METHODS

Using physical punishment is grounds to terminate services. Physical punishment includes, but is not limited to choke chains, pinch collars, shock collars, etc. The use of pain, fear, or intimidation may lead to fear or aggression.

SAFETY

Clients must have their dogs contained in a crate when the trainer arrives. Dogs must be up to date on Rabies vaccination and bite histories must be disclosed. Dogs must arrive to our facility on leash.

PRIVATE TRAINING RESCHEDULE POLICY

It is imperative that your training sessions are completed timely in order to have success with your dog. We allow one reschedule during training (via telephone, voicemail, or email ONLY). Any additional attempts at rescheduling will be futile and the session will be forfeited. We charge a $25 fee for all reschedules (including your first reschedule). This fee must be paid within 24 hours in order to continue training. Clients have 4 months to complete four sessions.

PRIVATE TRAINING NO-SHOW / LATE POLICY

All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training. If clients do not show for their final session or have more than one no-show for training will be terminated.

Clients are expected to be on time for training. We do give a 15 minute window for lateness, however if more than 15 minutes late the session is treated as a no-show and is forfeited automatically. A $25 fee must be paid within 24 hours in order to continue training.

HYBRID TRAINING CANCELLATION POLICY

Rescheduling is not permitted in this training program. There are no exceptions. Any rescheduling will result in forfeiture of sessions.

Ruby and Duke have recently completed our behavior Ruby and Duke have recently completed our behavior modification training program. Ruby has gained so much confidence and no longer anxiously marks in the house. Prior to training she was too nervous to go on walks, now she loves her daily strolls around the neighborhood. 

Duke was recently adopted and began to show signs of anxiety aggression with guests. Displays of affection and loud noises triggered his aggression. We used systematic desensitization and counter-conditioning to his trigge4w. He is no longer showing signs of aggression and has learned his obedience cues. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults ##privatelessons #behaviormodification #aggression #dogtraining #anxiety #fearfuldogs #fearfuldogsofinstagram #confidence #lafayettela #dogstagram #rescuedogsofinstagram
