Intake Form

IMPORTANT NOTE

*Initial Consult is a Prerequisite for all behavior issues.


To optimize the results of training, all behavior consultations are done virtually.  In-person training sessions are available after the Initial Consultation except for separation anxiety cases.


Why virtual? Changing your dog’s behavior begins with reducing their stress. Virtual Consultations allow us to meet in a relaxed manner without causing fear or distress to your dog. All you have to do is have a  internet connection and we’ll do the rest!


The Virtual Consultation

During this meeting we will ask questions and we will answer any and all questions you may have. 

We set you up for any future training that you will purchase. 

Our Consultation is our way of determining what is going on with your dog.

 Invite family (everyone involved with the dog's life) to be a part of the call!

After we ask you a few targeted questions we'll teach you everything you need to know about what's going on with your dog and the steps to change that behavior! 


PAYMENTS & REFUNDS

Full payment within 24 hours after dates are scheduled is required to confirm your appointments.

Sessions are non-refundable and non-transferable. We do not offer refunds on unscheduled sessions. All sales and payments are final.


One Smart Dog, LLC reserves the right to terminate the training contract before or during its term if the trainer determines that a danger exists to the health and safety of the public, trainer, owner, or dog. Should the Trainer or Owner terminate the training contract at any time before completion, all fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.


Contracts for ongoing training are automatically terminated if we do not hear from the client for 90 days.  After 90 days, the ongoing training contract will cease.  No refund will be issued for any sessions remaining on the contract.


GUARANTEE

Our services are not guaranteed. Dog behavior is not static and can change over time due to developmental periods, aging, and health. Pet owners influence their dog’s behavior and must do the assigned training homework for optimal results.


TRAINING SUPPLIES

Clients are responsible for providing the necessary materials needed for training. Including, but not limited to: treats, toys, leash, collar, harness, etc.

TRAINING METHODS

One Smart Dog uses reward-based methods that are backed by science to modify your dog's behavior.  Because a reward makes your dog more likely to repeat the behavior, positive reinforcement is one of your most powerful tools for shaping or changing your dog’s behavior.  The use of pain, fear, or intimidation may lead to fear or aggression.


PRIVATE TRAINING NO-SHOW

All no-show sessions will be forfeited automatically. There is $25 no-show fee that must be paid after a missed appointment within 24 hours in order to continue training.
