You can also book additional private 1-1 video call sessions for £45 each, each of these include personalised support, a training and behaviour plan and training log signed and dated with learning and progress.
 

If The Ethical Approach isn’t for you, or you are not enjoying or benefitting from our course you can drop out any time. However once you have started a Unit, that current unit is none refundable, but you are not tied in to finish the course, or pay for any of the following Units.


 

Access to our social and community groups is based on following our welfare and ethical guidelines and teachings through out your partnership. 

 

We do not provide assistance dog accreditation or assessment, due to the pressure on both dog and handler. We prefer to educate our clients how to listen to their dogs needs and communication, and only work their dogs in environments that their dog feels safe, comfortable and relaxed.

 

However if you need an assessment for your own personal reasons, we can help to assist you with applying to do your public access test with an independent assessor, such as the ADAA or further advice about applying to an organisation, such as Dog A.I.D. 

 

We can also assist in sourcing suitable uniform, equipment, lead sleeves, vests and more for dogs in training and assistance dogs from our very talented local friends at Wuffable.
