​

What happens if I can't make a class?

We know your time is valuable, and ours is too. Once you have signed up for a class or event with us, it means that we have reserved a spot especially for you!  So that we may respect everyone’s busy schedules and provide the best training to all our clients, we will adhere to the following cancellation policy.

​

This cancellation and refund policy applies to clients that must withdraw for any reason including but not limited to injury, illness, emergency, and personal or work-related reasons.

• For a session of classes - no refund after the first class meeting.  There are no regularly scheduled make-up classes, but your instructor can let you know what you missed so you can practice at home.
• For a single class - no refund if cancelled within 48 hours of class
• For private lesson - no refund if cancelled within 24 hours of lesson

• For events (e.g., workshops, seminars, mock trials, etc.) - no refund within 7 days of event unless host can fill your spot 

​

NEW:  with our new software system students can now cancel out of classes themselves.  There is no need to contact the office, simply log into your account and cancel the class you need to.

​

Do you offer discounts?

While we don't offer discounts for classes, students may purchase memberships or passes for many of our classes and will pay less than the standard prices for classes.

​

Where are you located?

Our classes take place in two different locations:

• Our main training center is located in the Eastern Hills Mall, 4545 Transit Road, Williamsville, NY 14221.  Our door is located at the back of the mall, between JC Penney's and the cinema.  Look for the white door with Do Over Dog Training signage (near Bison Billiards.)

• We also offer classes at Sit n' Stay Dog Training, 2881 Southwestern Blvd, Orchard Park, NY 14127.

​

What should I bring to class?

• Please bring what you need to keep yourself and your dog comfortable during class.  For K9 Nose Work® classes we suggest you bring the following:

• Water and a water bowl

• Training rewards - please bring a plastic bag full of small, non-crumbly food rewards that your dog loves.  Please label the bag with your dog's name.  If your dog prefers a toy reward, please also bring your dog's favorite toy.

• A mat/blanket to put down in crate if it will make your dog more comfortable

• Something for your dog to chew/lick while waiting in crate (Kong, Toppl, chews, bone, interactive toy, etc.)

​

Why do I have to crate my dog in K9 Nose Work classes?

• Crating is part of the K9 Nose Work® philosophy. 

• By crating our dogs between searches we are keeping all of the dogs safe as they enter/exit the search area

• Having the dogs in crates creates a smoother transition between dogs, which equals more turns

• Crating allows the dogs to rest between searches. 

• Crating allows for latent learning - this gives time for what the dog just learned to sink in 

​

Does your dog have difficulty being crated?  Contact us at info@dooverdogtraining.com and we will work with you to find a solution so that your dog can still enjoy our K9 Nose Work® classes.
