Terms of Service
Last Updated: October 28, 2025
Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the Good Doggos website, booking any service, or purchasing any program or product. By accessing our website or engaging our services in any capacity, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
Agreement to Terms
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Client," "you") and Good Doggos ("we," "us," "our"). Your agreement is indicated by any of the following actions:
- Visiting or using the Good Doggos website or any associated digital property
- Booking or attending any training session, consultation, or program
- Purchasing any program, course, product, or digital content from us
- Completing an application, enrollment form, or onboarding process
If you are booking or purchasing on behalf of another person or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind them to these Terms.
Services
Good Doggos provides dog training services, group and private programs, online courses, digital content, coaching, and related products ("Services"). Services are described on our website and may include, without limitation:
- The Calm Companion Challenge (group training program)
- Private Accelerator (private training program)
- Reactive Dog Intensive (specialized behavior modification program)
- Breakthrough Sessions (one-time private sessions)
- Digital products, training plans, and video content
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any Service at any time with or without notice. Scheduling, program structure, and availability are subject to change. We will make reasonable efforts to notify enrolled clients of material changes that affect their program.
Payments and Refunds
Payment. All fees are due in full upon purchase unless an alternative arrangement is explicitly confirmed in writing by Good Doggos. Prices are listed in USD and are subject to change. Published prices at the time of purchase apply to that transaction.
Refunds & Guarantees. Each program carries specific guarantee terms, which are described on our Guarantee page. The terms on that page govern all refund eligibility and are incorporated into these Terms by reference. Refunds, where applicable, are subject to those terms being fully satisfied.
Chargebacks. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card issuer prior to contacting us to resolve a billing concern is a breach of these Terms. We ask that any disputes be raised with us directly first. Clients who initiate unauthorized chargebacks may be permanently barred from future services.
Client Responsibilities
Your participation and effort directly affect your dog's progress. By enrolling in any Good Doggos program, you agree to the following responsibilities:
- Accurate Disclosure. Provide honest and complete information about your dog's behavioral history, medical history, bite history, and any known aggression incidents before services begin. Failure to disclose known bite history or aggression releases Good Doggos from liability for resulting incidents.
- Equipment Use. Use all training equipment only as instructed by your trainer. Do not modify, misuse, or use equipment outside of sessions without trainer guidance.
- Attendance & Assignments. Attend all scheduled sessions and complete all assigned practice and homework between sessions. Progress depends on consistent, daily implementation.
- Safety Protocols. Follow all safety protocols set by your trainer, including but not limited to muzzle use, leash requirements, and handling procedures. Ensure your dog is properly secured at all times when on Good Doggos premises or during sessions.
- Participation. Actively engage in the program — ask questions, post required updates, and communicate struggles to your trainer in a timely manner.
- Results Dependence. You acknowledge that training outcomes are directly tied to your consistency, effort, and participation. Good Doggos cannot guarantee results for clients who do not follow the program as designed.
Assumption of Risk & Limitation of Liability
Inherent Risks. Dog training involves inherent risks, including but not limited to bites, scratches, property damage, reactivity incidents, and unpredictable animal behavior. These risks exist even when reasonable safety protocols are followed.
Client Responsibility. You remain solely responsible for your dog's behavior, handler decisions made during and between sessions, and all third-party interactions involving your dog. Good Doggos acts as a trainer and educator — handling decisions ultimately remain yours.
Indemnification. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Good Doggos, its owner, trainers, staff, and helpers from and against any claims, damages, injuries, or losses caused by or arising from your dog's actions, your handling decisions, or your breach of these Terms.
Liability Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Good Doggos's total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to our services shall not exceed the total amount you paid for the specific service giving rise to the claim.
No Guarantee of Specific Results. Except as expressly set forth on our Guarantee page, Good Doggos makes no guarantee of specific behavioral outcomes. Animal behavior is complex and influenced by factors outside our control. Guarantees on that page apply only where all stated requirements are fulfilled.
Intellectual Property
All content on the Good Doggos website and within our programs — including but not limited to training plans, video content, written materials, graphics, logos, branding, course structures, and methodology — is the exclusive intellectual property of Good Doggos and its owner.
Prohibited Uses. Without prior written permission, you may not reproduce, distribute, publish, sell, resell, record, screenshot, screen-record, or share any Good Doggos content in any medium.
Personal-Use License. Clients who purchase a program or digital product are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use that content for their own personal, non-commercial training purposes during the access period. This license does not transfer any ownership rights.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action or proceeding related to these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
Privacy
Your use of Good Doggos services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using our services, you consent to the data practices described therein.

These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only. Good Doggos does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the content, privacy practices, or actions of any third-party site or vendor.

Communications
By booking a service or purchasing a program, you consent to receive transactional communications from Good Doggos via email or text (SMS), including booking confirmations, scheduling updates, program materials, and administrative notices.
