PAYMENT & CANCELLATION

Payment in full is due at time of booking. The Loyal Hound Inc. abides by a strict no refund or exchange policy in regards to training programs, sessions, or packages *that have been completed*. Client is solely responsible for contacting The Loyal Hound, LLC regarding the scheduling of any and all sessions upon booking of program or package, and no prorated refunds will be granted in the partial completion of a package or program. 

If a client cancels anytime BEFORE the start date of a training program, please note that 50% of the initial payment will be refunded.

We thank our clients for their understanding and consideration in this matter.

STATEMENT OF OWNER COMPLIANCE & TRAINING GUARANTEE

Owner understands that there are many components that go into creating a healthy, emotionally sound, obedient, balanced dog. OWNER understands that a successful dog training program depends on a combination of learned skills on the part of both the OWNER and THE DOG. OWNER understands that THE DOG’s behavior is not static, that THE DOG will NOT continue to perform even trained behaviors without ongoing practice. Especially in cases involving any type of aggression, OWNER understands THE DOG is never considered “cured”, but rather the behavior modified, made manageable, and the risk mitigated.  OWNER agrees to comply 100% with the following THE LOYAL HOUND LLC requirements for the life of THE DOG: implement the protocols and practices with THE DOG, which are demonstrated in transfer sessions. Make obedience a way of life for THE DOG. Practice ALL commands with THE DOG anywhere, everywhere, anytime. Although THE LOYAL HOUND LLC cannot guarantee, beyond any doubt, that THE DOG will respond to all commands at all times—this can only be guaranteed by the OWNER’s diligence with THE DOG—THE LOYAL HOUND LLC does guarantee that training will be completed to OWNER’S satisfaction, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Further, if OWNER complies with the OWNER Performance requirements in this Agreement, THE DOG is healthy, and THE DOG forgets a command it was trained to do, THE LOYAL HOUND LLC will train THE DOG that forgotten command. THE LOYAL HOUND LLC trains THE DOG and OWNER how to properly respond to and operate the specified e-collar. OWNER agrees THE DOG’s behavior is ultimately OWNER’s responsibility. OWNER understands that transfer session(s) IDEALLY take place within ONE MONTH after the completion of a Board and Train Program. This ensures that newly learned behaviors, social skills, and commands translate successfully to the dog's home environment. Scheduling of transfer sessions are the OWNER'S responsibility.
