  • Loss of access to services occurs if your dog develops any behaviour concerns that pose safety risks for other dogs, payment is not made, or bookings are changed/cancelled excessively. 

  • Our programs are in demand and we have strict capacity limits. We cannot guarantee availability and will do our best to accomodate your preferred days.

  • Bundles work like a gym membership. We can pause a monthly payment if you are going to be gone for more than 2-weeks. Otherwise, due to the large savings, make-up days are not available so please plan accordingly or take advantage of our A La Carte pricing,
