Handlers are reminded to adhere to the guidelines of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers UK and refrain from using aversive techniques and equipment e.g. choke chains, prong collars, slip leads, pet correctors, electric or spray collars etc and the use of physical force/physical correction or any device that causes discomfort, fear or pain to the dog. If such techniques and/or equipment isused, Just Rewards Dog Training reserves the right to ask the person or handler to leave the course with immediate effect without refund.
We advise against the use of flexible/extendable leads
in classes.

Behaviour Modification and Training
Success of behaviour modification and training is dependent on the amount of time and commitment you can put into your dog’s training and behaviour modification programme, and whether they are in the
right environment for progress.
