The Incredibly Clever Canine Circus
Terms and Conditions of Business
Cancellations
We require a minimum of 14 days’ notice – a credit towards another class will be offered or refund issued (minus £30 administration fee); refunds cannot be given for individual classes missed (please inform us in advance if you cannot attend a particular class). If a course is cancelled prior to commencement due to low registration numbers or other problem, registrants will be offered a place on an alternative course where possible, or a full refund will be issued.
Behaviour / suitability
Some dogs are not suited to learning in a class environment; The Incredibly Clever Canine Circus reserves the right to remove a dog from a class as and when the trainer deems necessary and offer private training or a refund in its place. (If you are concerned that your dog may not be suitable for group training please contact us prior to booking.) All dogs must attend with a handler aged 18 years or over; we do not permit multiple dogs to attend with one handler; dogs not participating in the class are not permitted to attend.
Children
To ensure the welfare of all participants (including canine ones) children under 14 are only permitted to participate classes specifically designated as a ‘young handlers’ class; children accompanied by a responsible adult (not the participating handler) may be permitted to watch other classes from a reasonable distance, but will not be invited to take part and may be required to move away if their presence / behaviour is causing a problem for participants; ‘Curious Kids’: these classes are specifically designed to allow younger handlers (usually aged around 10+) to experience The Incredibly Clever Canine Circus training – any dogs participating in these classes are expected to be comfortable around children but each young handler is also required to respect the welfare of all dogs and not approach any dog other than their own, to be accompanied at all times by a responsible adult, and to be capable of behaving in an appropriate manner for a class dog training situation, including following the trainer’s instructions at all times; if a young handler’s behaviour is considered to be inappropriate by the trainer they will not be permitted to continue with the class and may be required to leave.
Media rights
Stills and video photography of your own dog only for personal / social media use is permitted; photography / filming of other participants and / or dogs is not permitted; The Incredibly Clever Canine Circus reserves the right to capture you and/or your dog through video / audio / stills photography for use on our social media and websites and other media opportunities.
