Terms and Conditions

Canine Thinking is the trading name of Canine Thinking Ltd.

Canine Thinking websites include www.caninethinking.com and any subdomains, for example www.online.caninethinking.com and www.shop.caninethinking.com, as well as any other online forums run by Canine Thinking, for example www.facebook.com/caninethinking and associated groups, whether public or private. These are collectively “the website”.

We offer a number of types of products and services:

‘In person behaviour and training support services’.

• These are sessions with you and a member of the Canine Thinking team either in your own home or in another pre-agreed location, they may be on a one to one basis or a group.

‘Remote behaviour and training support services’.

• These are sessions with you (individually or as part of a group) and a member of the Canine Thinking team, in separate locations, using a video-based communication service (for example Zoom or Skype) or by telephone or email, and may require for video footage to be submitted to us before, during or after the session. The choice of communication method will be at the sole discretion of Canine Thinking in order to provide you with the most effective service.
• This also includes online membership groups, for example via the website, on facebook or similar platforms, where there are live group sessions and/or opportunities for active participation and communication with other members and with the Canine Thinking team.

‘Online courses, webinars and digital downloads’.

• These are digital products or services which you can purchase or subscribe to via the Canine Thinking websites. These may may include written, audio, pre-recorded video and live elements including interactive communication.

‘Membership groups’.

• These are group forums which are organised and run by Canine Thinking, either as part of other client services or for a subscription fee. Membership groups may include pre-recorded and live elements, interactive communication and participation between members (each other and the Canine Thinking team) and may allow members to post relevant training and behaviour videos of themselves and their own dogs.

‘Purchase of goods’.

• These are pet products (including, but not restricted to, food, treats, training equipment, toys, supplements) which are available for purchase either in person through one of the Canine Thinking team or via the Canine Thinking online shop.

• For the purposes of administration, the office is open from Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4.30pm.

• Working days exclude statutory bank holidays

• ​Appointments with the behaviour and training team are available outside of hours by prior-arrangement and we always do our best to be more generally available for reasonable support outside of ‘working days’ by email, phone or other messages but this is entirely at our discretion and we ask that clients respect ‘reasonable’ hours for making contact with us as far as possible and in particular avoiding after 6.30pm Monday-Friday, after 2pm Saturday and at all on Sundays. We understand emergencies may arise, and are happy to help wherever we can, but we may charge ‘out of hours rates’ in some cases.

At Canine Thinking we only use or suggest behaviour modification, training and wellbeing practices which are kind, fair and adhere to the best practice principles of ‘least invasive, minimally aversive’ (LIMA) and which therefore always have the emotional and physical wellbeing of both the pet and the guardian or handler at their core. This is central to our ethos and also forms part of the requirements of the professional bodies to which Canine Thinking is affiliated.

We strive for continual improvement and to remain at the leading edge of the ever-expanding science and research which underpin these techniques.

We do not allow, and you agree not to use, any punitive techniques which may cause pain, discomfort, fear or anxiety, including, but not restricted to:

• ​harsh handling such as jerking, alpha rolls or scruffing

• use of physical force to elicit a behaviour

• physical punishment or corrections

• equipment designed to be aversive including choke chains, prong collars, remote collars, water sprays, rattle bottles, pet corrector

We reserve the right to stop an in-person session and ask you to leave, to terminate a remote session and to revoke access to any group memberships should you be abusive to any person or animal. You are not entitled to any refund in these circumstances.

You accept full responsibility for your dog’s wellbeing at all times.

This includes ensuring that you check with your vet that any exercises or suggested training or behaviour method or other recommendations are appropriate for your dog’s health status and that there are no underlying medical issues which may affect your dog if you follow any of these.

​Canine Thinking may draw your attention to areas of behaviour which, in our experience, may be affected by various medical issues, in order to prompt you to check with your vet, but these are suggestions for information only, do not constitute any form of advice and even in the absence of these prompts, you remain responsible for ensuring your dog is fit and well at all times. 

​

For Behaviour, Training and Wellbeing Support Services:

We accept behaviour, training and wellbeing cases both directly from clients and on referral from veterinary surgeons. Behaviour and physical wellbeing are very closely correlated and for ALL one to one consultations (and sometimes in other circumstances if there is a specific medical issue which you have made us aware of), we will ask for your dog’s medical records and may need to discuss your dog with your vet in order to seek advice from your vet on any potential underlying medical issues which may affect behaviour, training or wellbeing.

The Canine Thinking team or your vet may advise that your dog be seen again by your vet at any point, for example if any potential medical concerns arise. It will be your responsibility to ensure that this is carried out before implementing any advice from your consultation or programme with us.

We reserve the right to communicate with your Veterinary Surgeon about your dog(s) at any time if we deem this to be necessary or helpful. You agree to give your vet permission to speak us about your dog.

If your dog has any known allergies, intolerances, health changes or any other special or medical conditions or needs, it is your responsibility to bring this to our attention prior to the start of any session.

,

We commit to working with you to understand the problems you are facing and to using our professional expertise to recommend appropriate strategies to help you and your dog(s) work through these together. We will explain what these strategies are, why we are proposing them to you and, where possible, what the range of outcomes may be.

​

There is often no quick fix for training, behaviour and wellbeing issues and any results will depend on, amongst other things, your dog as an individual (personality, temperament, prior experience), your own efforts (time, adherence, capability) in implementing the plan,  and environment and other external ongoing influences (for example compliance of other family members, changes in home environment or routine, health and wellbeing, external environment, unplanned external events or experiences outside of your control), all of which are outside of the control of Canine Thinking. We have worked successfully with many hundreds of clients, but since these factors differ among all individuals, Canine Thinking cannot and does not warrant or make any representations or guarantees regarding your success.

​

We commit to offering you ongoing support, in-line with the services you purchase, to adjust and modify the plan as you move forward with your dog(s).

​Appointments with the behaviour and training team are available outside of ‘working days’ by prior-arrangement and we always do our best to be more generally available for reasonable support outside of ‘working days’ by email, phone or other messages but this is entirely at our discretion and we ask that clients respect ‘reasonable’ hours for making contact with us as far as possible and in particular avoiding after 6.30pm Monday-Friday, after 2pm Saturday and at all on Sundays. We understand emergencies may arise, and are happy to help wherever we can, but we may charge ‘out of hours rates’ in some cases.

You agree to be open and honest in all the information you provide and to ask us for clarification if anything is unclear.

You commit to the agreed training, behaviour and wellbeing plan and to making the changes to help improve the problems you wish to address with your dog(s).

You agree to avoid introducing alternative training or behaviour modification methods (such as those picked up from TV, books, friends or other trainers) in order to avoid confusion and stress for your dog. We are always happy to discuss these with you and to include in your plan if appropriate to do so.

You understand that there are no ‘quick fixes’ and you accept responsibility for your own training capability, time availability and skill as well as adherence to the plan and for your dog’s progress.

You accept full responsibility for the physical and emotional wellbeing, safety, control and behaviour of your dog(s) at all times. This includes ensuring that your dog receives appropriate veterinary care, is properly supervised at all times and that any interactions between your dog and a third party (including your family and any other pets) are safe for both the dog and others involved.

Results achieved with your dog through use of any Content will depend on, amongst other things, your dog as an individual (personality, temperament, prior experience), your own efforts (time, adherence, capability) in implementing any training plans,  and environment and other external ongoing influences (for example compliance of other family members, changes in home environment or routine, health and wellbeing, external environment, unplanned external events or experiences outside of your control), all of which are outside of the control of Canine Thinking. These factors differ among all individuals and Canine Thinking therefore does not warrant or make any representations or guarantees regarding the use of the materials on the Website, the results of the use of the materials, the suitability of the materials for a user’s needs, the likelihood that use of materials will meet user expectations or the specific results you will achieve with your dog. You accept all responsibility for evaluating your own training capability and executing your own training plans.

You understand that training, working with and interacting with dogs, especially when modifying behaviour, may pose a risk of injury. You agree to ensuring that necessary steps are taken at all times to prevent injury to yourself, your dog(s) and other parties (including family, other people and other animals), including, but not restricted to, ensuring a safe environment, the use of a muzzle where appropriate, keeping your dog on lead and avoidance of situations that might trigger aggressive (or perceived to be aggressive) behaviours.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Canine Thinking Ltd, Lisa Webb and each of the company’s Directors, officers, employees, and agents against any and all losses, liabilities, judgments, awards and costs (including legal fees and expenses) arising out of, or related to, any claim of injury to persons or property of any kind, whether before, during or after the services and when implementing suggested techniques with your dog(s).

Some services may be purchased on a monthly payment schedule (for example subscriptions to membership groups).

This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount. 

If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we may charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

These provide high level behaviour, training and wellbeing coaching over an agreed period of time (typically 4-12 weeks), through a combination of online or in person sessions and support in-between via phone, email and WhatsApp. We agree the format of the programme with you at the outset, but given the nature of the highly personalised support that these offer, we may sometimes recommend flexing these arrangements in order to best meet the needs of you and your dog.

The programme is a commitment to personalised support between Canine Thinking and the client and no refunds will be offered once access to the programme has been granted. This applies whether payments are made in full at the start of the programme or via a payment plan where this is an available option.

In the event that we have to cancel a session with you due to unforeseen circumstances, such as illness/emergency, we will make every effort to reschedule your session to another mutually convenient time. If weather or other reasons prevents an in person session, the session will be held via zoom or another online means if at all possible at the same time.

Failure to attend a scheduled session forfeits your right to that session. Whilst we are happy to consider requests to reschedule a session for unavoidable reasons, this is at the sole discretion of Canine Thinking and we offer no guarantee that a planned session can be rescheduled. All sessions must be used within the allocated time of the programme and cannot be rolled over to later weeks in order to be fair to all clients (unless specifically agreed and at the sole discretion of Canine Thinking). Should you need to reschedule a session, contact the client team as soon as possible. If no other appointment is available that session will be forfeited.

Session fees must be paid for in full at time of booking in order to confirm the proposed date and time. Sessions can be refunded in accordance with the following:

​

Notice period                                                           Refund for cancellation

Greater than 14 calendar days                            100% + travel fees paid but not yet incurred

6 full working days to 14 calendar days            50% + travel fees not yet incurred

5 full working days or less                                    0% + travel fees not yet incurred

​

Cancellations must be notified in writing, by email, to clients@caninethinking.com. It is your responsibility to ensure that the email has been received by us (we cannot be held responsible for email failures). If emails are sent out of hours, we will send an acknowledgement the next working day and if you have not heard from us, it is your responsibility to get back in touch. If notifying by telephone, the notification is only deemed to have been made when you receive an acknowledgement in writing from Canine Thinking. If your cancellation is close to the end of a notice period, we recommend you call us in addition to your email.

​In the event that we have to cancel a session with you due to unforeseen circumstances, such as adverse weather/illness/emergency, we will make every effort to reschedule your session to another mutually convenient time or venue. This may include changing an in-person session to one via zoom or other online means. If this is not possible, we will refund you for the cost of the session.

​Canine Thinking will not be liable for any losses or expenses arising from amendments or cancellations.

Refunds should be requested by emailing clients@caninethinking.com

For group classes (with 2 or more participants), payments are required in full at the time of booking. The contract with Canine Thinking is deemed to commence no later than 14 days prior to delivery of the service as part of the service includes preparation work. Bookings are therefore non-refundable after this period or the 14 day statutory cancellation period, whichever is earlier. 

​Occasionally we may be able to offer a transfer to another suitable class or service, but this is at the sole discretion of Canine Thinking, is dependent on another client filling your place and may incur an administration fee at the sole discretion of Canine Thinking.

​We are unable to offer any refunds on missed sessions as part of a course, but you will receive any handouts or other information provided to participants during the session you missed.

​Canine Thinking reserves the right to change the content, venue or instructor of group courses in order to provide a high quality service or where it is necessary for reasons beyond our control.

All online courses, webinars and digital downloads must be paid for at the point of booking.

​The contract with Canine Thinking is deemed to commence as soon as the course, webinar or digital download is accessed or 14 days after purchase, whichever is soonest.

​Online courses, webinars and digital downloads are non-refundable after contract commencement and after the 14 day Statutory Cancellation Period.

​Canine Thinking reserves the right to change Live Webinars at any time (including the time and date of the Live Webinar). In the very unlikely event that this will happen, every effort will be made to ensure a Live Webinar of an equivalent topic and standard is made available on a similar day and time to the originally planned webinar.
