Once a visit has been booked, a confirmation of the booking will be sent with details of the venue, time, costs and any other information that is required to ensure the visit runs smoothly. All instructions must be followed to ensure the safety of all those involved. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the visit with no refund.
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that they are available at the correct time, on the correct day of the visit. Failure to do so may result in the client being charged for the full cost of the visit.
For events, the full fee is required at the time of booking in order to secure your place. Unfortunately, if payment is not received on booking, you may lose your place.
Once an event has been booked, a confirmation of the booking will be sent with details of the venue, time, costs and any other information that is required to ensure the event runs smoothly. All instructions must be followed to ensure the safety of all those involved. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your place on the event with no refund.
A deposit of £50 for a behavioural consultation and training visit is required to confirm the booking. This must be paid within 10 days of receiving the confirmation letter to secure the booking. The deposit will then be used towards the cost of the consultation/training visit, which must be paid in full on the day of the visit.
If you have to postpone or cancel your consultation:
No deposit is requested for follow up visits however it is important to let Ali know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.
Full refunds are only possible if your place is cancelled with at least 14 days notice, even if the circumstances are unavoidable. This is to ensure the event can still go ahead because outside trainers/speakers and venues will need to have been pre-booked and paid.
If an event has to be cancelled due to the weather or due to unforeseen circumstances, the event fee will be refunded.
The balance of the consultation fee and any training goods must be paid in full at the time of the consultation or event. Payment is accepted by cheque, cash or bank transfer at the time of the consultation or event. The price of the consultation or event will be the price as agreed on the confirmation letter.
To ensure you gain the most from the consultation, all family members or friends who come into regular contact with the dog(s) are encouraged to be present. A behavioural consultation can however take between two and a half to 3 hours and so it is advised that children under the age of 5 have an adult who is able to supervise and if necessary, take them into a different room during the consultation.
Please ask at the time of booking if you have any special requests regarding who wishes to attend i.e. children or pets.
In order to ensure my own personal safety and that of your dog(s), it is essential that all dog(s) are placed securely in another room prior to my arrival at your home. Introductions will then be supervised by myself during the visit. All instructions during the consultation must be followed to ensure the safety of all of those involved. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the consultation with no refund.
Although every precaution is taken to ensure the highest safety standards, the safety of both yourselves, your pets and your property remains your responsibility;
If any accidents or injuries occur, they must be immediately reported to myself at the time they occurred to ensure the correct safety protocols are followed.
