The Lost Dogs’ Home ‘Dogs in the Park’ Program Details and Terms & Conditions

Congratulations on enrolling your pet in The Lost Dogs’ Home ‘Dogs in the Park’ Program!

The Program has been designed to provide you with information and advice related to dog behaviour, to help set you and your dog up for a positive and successful training journey together. The Program is facilitated by qualified positive-reinforcement animal trainers from Pet Squad, The Lost Dogs’ Home animal behaviour training department.


ATTENDANCE

Please make every effort to arrive on time, as the session will start promptly. If you are late, you may still participate in the Program, but you must enter with minimal disturbance to the rest of the group.

We understand that things come up and you may not be able to make it on the day (including for reason of illness, whether your own or your pet’s). As a free community event, Dogs in the Park aims to help dogs and their owners who need some extra support with training. To ensure we can help as many dogs as possible and reach those who need it most, please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel your booking. That way, we will be able to offer your place to someone else who needs help with their dog's training and ensure nobody misses out.

PROGRAM FEES

The Program is free to attend, as Program costs have been covered by the partnering local council.
