1. Training Program Overview

This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for participation in private dog training sessions provided by Eric Ita (the “Trainer”). The training packages consist of private 1 on 1 sessions to be completed within 30 days from the date of (and including) the first session.

2. Payment and Refund Policy

Clients may choose one of two payment options:

• Option A: Full payment upfront before the first session.

• Option B: Deposit + available installment options.

NO CASH PAYMENTS ACCEPTED.

If you choose to use any of the payment apps, you are automatically responsible for emailing a confirmation to: info@ericandcaprithepup.com

ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL.

Refunds will only be issued if the Trainer is unable to fulfill the obligation to deliver the sessions or due to acts of God. If The Client has not received actionable advice, The Client may request up to an 80% refund within 24 hours of the first session.

PRIVATE SESSIONS (ZOOM/IN-PERSON): After payment, send an email for confirmation with 2 available dates and times.
A zoom link will be sent to you along with access to the MEMBER AREA for additional preparation details and a program guide to follow.

An In-person session lasts approximately 2-3 hours.

A Zoom session lasts approximately 1 hour

Both sessions consist of:

1. Observation/data collection of your dog’s behavioral history to determine what the primary causes of the issue most certainly could be.

2. An explanation and demonstration of the foundational training concepts and routines that need to be set, from that moment, on and off leash handling techniques and access to a laid out plan for at least 30 days from the first session.

3. The first half of the session focuses on foundational training indoors, and the second half focuses on handling techniques and leash manners (backyard or outdoors).

Follow ups are at the discretion of The Trainer, unless client has paid for additional sessions. This can be done online over a 15 minute zoom session, via text message or phone call.

Failure to complete all sessions within the 30-day period will result in forfeiture of any unused sessions and associated payments.

Due to the nature of the job, dealing with animals, inconsistencies in following plans, there’s no guarantee that any behavior can be indefinitely modified. Progress depends on the effort of The Client in following the program/plan consistently.
