Payments

Payment for all services is due at the time of booking, and is non-refundable. Please check your schedule carefully before committing to a class or private session.

Cancellation Policy for Classes

Payment for classes is non-refundable. By signing up for a multi-week class, you are reserving your spot. Please check your schedule carefully to make sure that you can attend all the classes. We do not offer make-up sessions, but you will receive all the handouts and homework for any class that you need to miss.

Cancellation Policy for Private Sessions

Payments for private sessions are non-refundable. You may cancel 72 hours or more in advance to receive credit, and reschedule your session. This policy applies to individual private sessions, as well as sessions purchased as part of a package. Cancellations within 72 hours will count against the total # of sessions purchased. Cancellations for emergencies will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Cancellations by Doggy Geeks

If your private session is cancelled by us, you are eligible for a refund, or a credit to use for a rescheduled session. 

We may cancel and reschedule a class if enrollment minimums are not met. You will be given a credit to use for any of our training services.

Weather Cancellations

Doggy Geeks may reschedule a class session or private session due to inclement weather. We will notify you as soon as possible and offer a rescheduled class session or private session.

Safety Policies

We are dedicated to keeping your dog safe and comfortable! If your dog is fearful, stressed, or disruptive when attending a group class, we reserve the right to divert you to private training. You will receive a prorated credit to use for private training sessions.
