    Terms & Conditions of this Board and Brush-Up Contract
    1. Trainer cannot guarantee specific training results because success is largely dependent on the severity of the pet’s behavioral issue and on the ability of the owners to follow up on the plan. Owner understands that they are responsible for following up with the training such that the dog’s improved behavior will transfer to them and agrees to follow Trainer’s instructions without modification.
    2. Trainer will conduct daily training sessions with the owner’s pet. Training session duration and frequency will be at the discretion of Trainer and will likely occur in many short sessions throughout the day. Trainer will seek to maximize the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the training program.
    3. Board and Brush-Up includes sessions on the training Dog has already received. To address new training needs or behavioral issues, a Board and Train program is required.

    6. Beds will be provided, however if a dog is destructive bedding material will be removed. In this case some dogs, especially ones with shorter fur, may develop callouses on their elbows. Excessively destructive dogs may result in owner being charged for any destroyed items or property.

    8. A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total fee is due when the contract is signed. The remaining 50% balance is due prior to the beginning of training.

Additional fees will be incurred at the rate of $200.00 per day for each day past the contracted departure date.
