Fuzzles Dog
Training Policies
Management & Homework
Fuzzles Dog Training collaborates with clients to develop behavior management strategies that both address their needs and work with their lifestyle. These strategies are put into place to prevent the dog from practicing and being rewarded for undesirable behaviors that the client has hired us to prevent or modify, and thus clients are expected to regularly utilize strategies agreed upon such as gates, long leashes, enrichment, and so forth. If something isn't working, the client is expected to talk to the trainer to find an option that will work for them. Consistently allowing the continued practice of undesirable behaviors in a way that significantly hinders the training plan may result in the inability to continue working with Fuzzles Dog Training.
​
Clients are expected to practice provided homework with their dog between lessons. Each lesson builds from a benchmark assuming that the dog is practicing and strengthening their skills between sessions. Homework is catered to the pawrent's available time to train and lifestyle, per the information provided by the client, and we will collaborate at the end of each session to make sure the homework is manageable and achievable. If you are unable to practice as planned for any reason before your next booked lesson, please reschedule at any time up to 24-hours prior with no penalty, no questions asked.
Cancellations & Rescheduling
Lessons may be rescheduled at any time up to 48 hours prior to a scheduled appointment, no questions asked. Rescheduling a lesson within 48 hours of the appointment time will result in a charge equal to 50% of the lesson cost. Appointments cancelled within 24 hours of the scheduled session will be forfeit.
Refunds
Fuzzles Dog Training does not provide refunds for any services, with the exception of unexpected serious life or medical events that incapacitate the client or cause them to be out of town for an extended period unexpectedly. Training is paced according to the package or program that the client committed to, and the dog's future behavior is more likely to suffer from terminating training before we have finished.
Lesson Package Expirations
Lesson packages will expire four (4) months after the date of purchase. Training is a cumulative process that relies on gradually building skills over time, so gaps in making efforts to progress can result in severe setbacks or the development of new, undesirable behaviors. This policy is meant to act as motivation for pawrents to continue working with their dogs at a functional pace while providing ample opportunity to schedule lessons before expiration.
Geographic Area
Fuzzles Dog Training serves the Highlands, Jefferson Park, Riverfront Park, Union Station, RiNo, and Central Business District/Downtown neighborhoods for in-person dog training. Purchases for in-person training made outside of these areas may incur an additional fee, based on location.
