Please ensure that you have read and understood these Terms and Conditions as booking a service confirms that you have read and accept them.  

Group Classes / Workshops

• No refunds will be given for any missed group classes. Missed classes may not be taken at a later date. (If your classes have been booked on a rolling basis in exceptional circumstances you may be able to reschedule)
• Scent Club classes may  be rescheduled online.
• Children are welcome and are encouraged to join in but are always the responsibility of the adult.  If any dogs in the class are worried by their presence, then it will not be possible for your child to attend. Please advise in advance of your intent to bring a child along.
• All dogs in group classes must be comfortable around other dogs and people.  If your dog struggles around dogs or people, or is reactive to dogs or people, then please get in touch before booking, to discuss the best option for your dog.
• Dogs must be always kept on lead unless specifically instructed otherwise by your instructor as part of the session.
• Please do not allow your dog to approach other dogs unless specifically instructed otherwise by your trainer as part of the training session.  If your dog, or another dog, is barking or pulling to get to another dog, then please increase the distance between you and the other dog.
• Please pick up all poo and dispose of it appropriately.
• Classes will continue unless extreme weather conditions or if unsafe to do so. In these circumstances classes will be rescheduled to the same time the following week. No refunds will be given if you choose not to attend. 
• If your dog is unwell with an infectious disease, please do not attend classes as you are putting the other dogs at risk.  If in doubt, please contact your vet for advice. 
• At all venues and public car parks cars are parked at their owner’s risk.  We do not accept any responsibility for theft or damage to cars or property whilst attending class.
