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.

We recently saw Katie the 3 year old rescue Beagle We recently saw Katie the 3 year old rescue Beagle for a behavior consultation. She is a very fearful dog, is having potty accidents due to anxiety, and is showing signs of separation anxiety. We devised a training plan to decrease her daily stress and to set her up for success with guests. We also began to condition her to the crate. We will begin our behavior modification program with her soon. She is very sweet and we are excited to help her gain confidence. #sithappens #lafayettedogtrainer #trainingwithresults #privatelessons #behaviormodification #lafayettela #dogtraining #separationanxiety #beaglesofinstagram #rescuedog #fearfuldogs #behaviormodification #certifiedbehaviorconsultant
