anxiety & traumatic fear or stress episodes.
If you feel your dog fits into one or all these categories or you are unsure, please contact

Puppy classes cut of age is 5month old, Adult class start at 6months.
Classes are run with a maximum limit of 6 dogs per class to ensure everybody gets
fair support.
Classes run with a minimum of 4 people to ensure that the dogs receive the benefits
of socialisation practice. If a class drops below this number the class maybe
rearranged or depending on the circumstances cancelled. If the class is cancelled
then notice will be given asap and a refund of that class payment will be given.
Classes are fun and easy & are not designed to be tedious. Learning & training is
force-free & physical manipulation free, positive only & reward based, to ensure
your dogs learn efficiently, easily & safely.
Upon registration booking you are confirming attendance for the full course. If you
cannot make a class please let Gemma know in advance & she will make alternate
arrangements for you to ensure completion.
All efforts are put in place to ensure yours & your dog’s safety during the class.
However clients are responsible for themselves, children & their own dogs during
the classes, regarding health & safety. It is understood that Gemma Stephen or the

personal property during the duration of the classes.
Children are welcome here at the classes & are encourage to participate in class.
Clients are responsible for their children at all times & responsible for their
behaviour & must keep them under strict supervision. It is important to remain
focused on your dog’s learning at the same time as supervising your children. You
agree that your children will not disrupt the learning process of the dogs. If children
are disruptive Gemma reserves the right to ask the parents to not bring the children
to class next time. Classes are best suited for children over 5, children under 5 may
attend after discussion with Gemma & upon Gemma final decision if a second adult
is present.

Puppys must have had all required vaccinations & the veterinarians all clear to

local vet to discuss.
Some dogs are not suited to a class environment or are not comfortable, it is new &
unusual. Please approach and discuss your options with Gemma as she will make
alternate arrangements for you to suit your needs & provide you with a space item
to signal to other members of the class that your dog requires more time & space
away from others to learn.
Gemma has experience with deaf dogs & people with mobility disabilities. Discuss
your concerns & situation with Gemma & she will make alternate arrangements for
your needs during class.
Clients are responsible for cleaning their own dog’s toileting accidents immediately.
It is important to maintain hygiene of the venue for other users & for the dogs

Cancellations & Missed classes
If you need to miss a class due to holidays if you let Gemma know the date before
the course begins you will not have to pay for that missed class. If Gemma is made
aware once the course has begun that you need to miss a class, due to last minute
holidays or illness I am afraid there will be no refund for that missed class due to
overheads & costings to run the course for numbers given.
Cancellations of the full course itself made 2weeks in advance of course start date
have a full refund
Cancellations of the full course itself made 1 week in advance of course start date
have a 50% refund of amount paid
Cancellations of the full course itself made less than 1week then the class start date
a refund is NOT available due to costings & overheads to run the course for the
numbers given.
