GROUND RULES
The client agrees to adhere to our ground rules and safety policies at all times, and to ensure that any other persons that they bring to class, including children, do so as well.

A copy of the ground rules can be found HERE.

CLASS POSTPONEMENT POLICY
The client acknowledges that classes may be postponed in the event of heavy rain, storms, extreme winds, extreme heat, or other unsafe weather conditions as determined by Beacon Dog Training.

Class may also be postponed in the event that the instructor is too ill to teach, and a replacement cannot be found.

Other circumstances may also result in classes being postponed, including but not limited to school events and public holidays.

Whenever a class is cancelled, classes will resume the following week (circumstances permitting) and run for an extra week at the end of the course to make up for the missed session. Clients will be notified by email and sms with as much notice as possible in the event of a postponement.

No refund will be offered in the event of a change in schedule

COURSE WITHDRAWALS & REFUNDS
The client must give 7 days notice in writing prior to their course start date in order to receive a refund. Refunds will not be issued if the client withdraws from a course after it has commenced. Refunds will not be issued if the client is unable to attend any section of their course, but wherever possible we will attempt to arrange a catch up class to be attended without a dog.
