Terms & Conditions - In-Person Workshops
Welcome! Please read the following terms carefully before registering for the Loose Leash Walking Workshop hosted by Holistic Dog Behavior. These guidelines help ensure a safe, supportive, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved — both human and canine.
By registering for your chosen workshop, you agree to the following terms:
🐾 1. Participant Responsibility
Participants are expected to manage their own dog at all times, bring appropriate gear, and ensure their dog is in good health and not experiencing contagious illness.
✋ 2. Force-Free Policy
This workshop is grounded in positive, humane training methods. Prong, choke, or e-collars are not permitted. If aversive tools are used during the session, I may ask the team to leave without refund.
💬 3. Behavior Disclosures
For the comfort and safety of all participants, this particular workshop is designed for dogs who are comfortable around unfamiliar people and dogs at a distance. If your dog has shown signs of fear, reactivity, or aggression (such as barking, growling, lunging, or biting), this in-person event may not be the best fit right now — and that’s completely okay.
Supporting dogs with big feelings is at the heart of what we do. We offer:
Private online consultations for fear, reactivity, and aggression
Upcoming virtual workshop versions of this class designed specifically for sensitive dogs. Sign up for emails to learn when we launch the online version!
If you're unsure whether this event is right for your dog, feel free to reach out. I'd be happy to help guide you toward the best option for you both. Email hello@holisticdogbehavior.com.
☁️ 4. Weather & Rescheduling
Workshops may be rescheduled for unsafe weather (heat, thunderstorms, etc.). If rescheduled, your spot will be automatically carried over. You’ll be notified at least 24 hours in advance when possible.
💸 5. Refund Policy
Cancellations made more than 5 days in advance receive a full refund. Cancellations within 5 days or no-shows are non-refundable.
📸 6. Media Release
Photos or videos may be taken for marketing purposes. If you’d prefer not to be included, just let me know — I respect your privacy.
⚖️ 7. Liability Waiver
By attending, you accept full responsibility for your dog’s behavior and any incidents that may occur. Holistic Dog Behavior and Megan Shevlin are not liable for injuries, damages, or losses unless due to gross negligence.
