Terms and Conditions

Terms and Conditions By using any services offered by Learning About Dogs Ltd., you agree to adhere to the Terms and Conditions stated in this document. These Terms and Conditions apply to all services offered by Learning About Dogs Ltd., including: Memberships to Learning About Dogs community Online Forums and Live Courses Courses (with or without membership) Workshops / Seminar / presentations Books & Videos Principles of the Learning About Dogs Community If you join our membership, you will be expected to share our principles of living with and training dogs - based on science and understanding with empathy and thoughtfulness reinforced with passion, joy and enthusiasm. We believe in the rights of dogs to be trained and able to enjoy a suitable lifestyle. We believe in learner-centric training, where neither the dog’s or person’s welfare or well-being is compromised for the benefit of the other. Equal Opportunity Learning About Dogs is a global community with a common set of principles. We encourage diversity in students and staff members in regard to race, colour, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, age, and other status. Courses Courses are open for all types of people interested in learning about dogs, from anywhere in the world. If a course has a specific prerequisite this will be detailed. Some courses require activities with a dog, or other suitable animal, on a regular basis. Courses may be limited to a specific number of participants, and may or may not include learners who are not seeking feedback on their own training progress. Membership may be required to enrol on some courses. Course Format Global group learning brings a richness to the experience where different lifestyles, different learners and relationships will share their journey. Our courses encourage self-directed learning and critical thinking. Our goal is for you to develop a new mind-set that will project forward to every dog you share your life with in the future. There is very little space for branded training recipes, off the shelf solutions or quick-fixes. What you get out of studying in this environment depends on your personal investment. As your “inner learner” awakens, you may begin to have serious thought processes whilst you do the housework, walk the dog, drive and try to get to sleep.
