Terms and conditions

Paws-A-Minute cannot accept responsibility for any loss, injury, or damage to any person, dog, or property during training sessions or events.

Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs when training takes place in public areas.

Dogs must remain under control at all times. When in public areas, dogs must remain on lead unless the trainer specifically instructs otherwise.

Your trainer is there to guide and support you; however, owners remain fully responsible for their dog at all times during training sessions and events.

Children are welcome to attend 1:1 training sessions and Social Saturday. For safety and consistency, children under the age of 16 must remain under the supervision of a parent or guardian at all times. Parents are encouraged to speak with their children beforehand to explain the importance of listening during sessions.

​When training in public areas, all dogs must be:
   •    Fully wormed
   •    Up to date with vaccinations
   •    Have received a recent health check from a veterinarian

Any health issues must be disclosed at the time of booking. If a health condition may affect training, a veterinary referral may be required before training with Paws-A-Minute can begin.

Any history of biting or aggression must be declared at the time of booking.

Full payment for Social Saturday and 1:1 training sessions is required at the time of booking in order to secure your place. Bookings are not confirmed until payment has been received.

If you cancel your session, the full session fee will be forfeited unless Paws-A-Minute decides otherwise. No refunds will be issued once a session package has begun.

Sessions may be rescheduled with a minimum of 3 days’ notice at no additional cost. When rescheduling, a new date must be confirmed at that time; otherwise, the session will be treated as a cancellation.

Rescheduling a session for a second time may result in the loss of the session fee and you may be required to book a new session.

Paws-A-Minute reserves the right to cancel or reschedule any appointment with at least 3 days’ notice where possible.

Failure to make payment within 30 days of the due date may result in further action, and any associated recovery costs may be passed on to the client.

Training sessions are available between 10:00am and 6:00pm.

Paws-A-Minute reserves the right to choose the clients it works with. We aim to work with owners who are committed to achieving the best possible results for themselves and their dogs.

​

Clients must be open to the use of all four quadrants of operant conditioning. As every dog is different, a range of training tools may be recommended where appropriate. These may include:

   •    Slip leads
   •    Figure of 8 leads
   •    Harnesses
   •    Flat collars
   •    Prong collars
   •    Long lines
   •    E-collars
   •    Dog backpacks
   •    Crates
   •    Dog beds
