FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We strongly recommend that you do not bring your dog (with the exception of a personal service dog). You will not have much free time to tend to your dog, and there is no course time dedicated to training your dog.

If you must bring your dog, your dog must be well-socialized and comfortable around people and other dogs. You must bring a kennel to house your dog while in class. Your dog will not be in the classroom with you; the kennel will not fit in the classroom. You will have to find the time to tend to your dog during the brief breaks in class. Classroom and training sessions will start promptly and we will not be able to wait for those who need to tend to their dogs.

Refunds/Cancellation Policy

If you book a spot, please make every effort to attend. If you do need to cancel, the following is our cancellation policy:

Cancel more than 60 days before the course start date for a 90% refund of your registration fee.
Cancel between 60 days and 31 days from the course start date for a 50% refund of your registration fee.
After those deadlines, no refunds will be issued.

We strongly recommend travel insurance, especially for overseas trips. Insurance protects your overall investment if you are forced to cancel your registration. It protects you in many situations, including lost luggage or illness. Many independent agencies offer travel insurance, as do travel providers.

Requests to Transfer Registration

Transfers of registration to another student are permitted when requested at least 30 days prior to the start of the course. A fee of 10% of the registration total will be charged and must be completed prior to the registration transfer.

Transfers to a future course will not be permitted unless the eligibility requirements above are met.

Transfer requests must be sent via e-mail to theranch@clickertraining.com. E-mails must be received by midnight US Pacific Time (PT) (GMT-7) to be processed on that day.
