Accessible Training

Dog training can be expensive, especially if your dog is aggressive or reactive and needs specialized training. Struggling to afford appropriate and humane dog training does not make you a bad dog parent. My goal of helping people and dogs is not limited to people who are financially secure.

This program is here to support people who need help but are struggling to afford training right now. Life is expensive, hard, and unpredictable. You do not need to justify yourself - just let me know as much as you are comfortable with.

This form may take up to 20 minutes. Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability.

I understand that dog training is not without risk. Even well-trained dogs may react unpredictably in some situations. I acknowledge and accept the following:

  1. I am voluntarily participating in dog training sessions with Paws Together Dog Training.

  2. I accept full responsibility for my dog’s behavior, and any damage or injury that may occur as a result.

  3. I agree to hold harmless the trainer, their business, and affiliates from any and all claims arising from participation in training sessions, including injury to myself, my dog, or others.

  4. I understand this training is provided at a reduced cost, but it is still a professional service. I agree to treat it with the same respect and responsibility as a paid program.

This training program is offered at reduced cost and participation is a privilege, not a right. If you are accepted into the program, you are expected to actively participate in at least one session a month for a minimum of three months, unless the trainer and client agree that support is no longer needed earlier.

I (the trainer) reserve the right to end services at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to:

  • Repeated failure to follow safety or management instructions

  • Lack of participation in assigned training tasks

  • Disrespectful, rude, or dismissive behavior toward the trainer or others

  • Chronic no-shows or poor communication

If I choose to end services, I may still provide resources or referrals, but continued training support is not guaranteed.
