AN UNREGULATED INDUSTRY?

You wouldn’t go to an unqualified doctor to get medical help. Yet hundreds, if not thousands of Australians every year unknowingly hire unqualified or inexperienced dog trainers and dog behaviourists to help them with their beloved fur friends. To be fair most dog trainers and dog behaviourists in days gone by started out with no formal training but those days are or should be long gone. In what is now a multi million dollar industry and a good choice of recognised dog trainer certification courses available there is simply no excuse for a dog trainer/behaviourist not to get his/her certification. It is highly advisable to hire an accredited trainer or dog behaviourist for better results.

What Sydney is saying!
"I wish we had found you sooner!" "would have saved us thousands!" "Mark is amazing!" "Worth every cent" "Helped where other's couldn't" "Quality at an affordable price!" "Top shelf trainer!" "Made a difference!" "So helpful!" "Exceptional!" "Super helpful!" "Knows what he's talking about!"

UNDERSTANDING DOG TRAINING GUARANTEES......
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

If your new to the dog training industry you will invariably come across some services advertising guarantees that may seem appealing at first glance but often come with significant limitations. It’s essential to understand the implications of these promises to make an informed decision.

Satisfaction Guarantees
This type of guarantee often states that if you’re not satisfied by the end of the session, you don’t have to pay. While this might sound reassuring, owners may find that the immediate results achieved during the session didn’t translate into long-term improvements. When issues resurface the next day, attempting to claim a refund will be problematic, as the decision to pay is typically required at the session’s conclusion. Furthermore, the nature of in-person interactions can make it challenging to express dissatisfaction, even if results don’t meet expectations.

Lifetime Guarantees

Another common promise is a “lifetime guarantee,” where trainers offer unlimited revisits for a high upfront fee, often exceeding $1,500. While this may seem like a safety net, the need for multiple follow-up visits can indicate that the initial training wasn’t effective.

Many owners have sought our services despite having access to these guarantees, often because the methods employed remain unchanged and ineffective. Investing in such a guarantee may not offer real value if the core issues aren’t resolved during the first visit and if they are then you have paid for something that you are never going to use!

Ultimately, effective training should prioritise sustainable solutions tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Rather than relying on guarantees, focus on finding an accredited trainer with a proven track record, transparent communication, and a commitment to empowering you with the skills needed to reinforce positive behaviour over time.

understanding dog training guarantees....
what you need to know!

If your new to the dog training industry you will invariably come across some services advertising guarantees that may seem appealing at first glance but often come with significant limitations. It's essential to understand the implications of these promises to make an informed decision. Remember you will be paying a premium for a "guarantee" you may not use.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEES
This type of guarantee often states that if you’re not satisfied by the end of the session, you don’t have to pay. While this might sound reassuring, owners may find that the immediate results achieved during the session didn't translate into long-term improvements. When issues resurface the next day, attempting to claim a refund will be problematic, as the decision to pay is typically required at the session’s conclusion. Furthermore, the nature of in-person interactions can make it challenging to express dissatisfaction, even if results don’t meet expectations.

REAL LIFE EXAMPLE
To illustrate the risks, consider the experience of a dog owner who reached out to us after working with another dog behaviourist who guaranteed results. Unfortunately, the promised improvements didn’t last. Despite assurances that the behaviour wouldn't return after the session, it actually worsened. When the owner sought help, she was brushed off, leaving her frustrated and without a solution. Unfortunately the dog's unwanted behaviour was unknowingly somehow being reinforced by the owner after the visit, making the issue worse. If reinforcement is happening, the problem won’t resolve on its own (despite what the behaviourist said)—it will only escalate. Scheduling a phone or video consultation at an appropriate time could of have helped identify why the behaviour was worsening and what needed to change, but instead, the owner was left feeling misled and unsupported. This situation is a cautionary tale about end-of-session satisfaction guarantees. While they might seem comforting, they often do little to ensure real, lasting results for you and your dog. When choosing a trainer, look beyond marketing promises and focus on proven, ethical training methods that truly set you and your dog up for long-term success.

LIFETIME GUARANTEE
Another common promise is a “lifetime guarantee,” where trainers offer unlimited revisits for a high upfront fee, often exceeding $1,500. While this may seem like a safety net, the need for multiple follow-up visits can indicate that the initial training wasn’t effective. Many owners have sought our services despite having access to these guarantees, often because the methods employed remain unchanged and ineffective.
