Last updated: 15-11-2025

The information, training services, advice, and products provided on k9training.ie (“we”, “us”, “our”) are intended to support responsible dog training and care. By using our website, purchasing our services, or participating in any training sessions, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. No Professional Veterinary Advice

The content on this website, including blog posts, videos, training guides, and consultation services, does not constitute veterinary, medical, or emergency advice.

Always consult a licensed veterinarian if your dog:

• shows signs of illness or injury
• exhibits sudden behavioural changes
• requires medical treatment
• is on medication or has a health condition that affects training

We are not liable for any outcomes related to failure to seek appropriate veterinary care.

2. Training Results Are Not Guaranteed

Dog training outcomes depend on many factors outside our control, including:

• the dog’s age, temperament, genetics, and health
• consistency from the owner
• environment and household structure
• adherence to training recommendations

Therefore, we cannot guarantee specific results or timelines.

Your commitment and consistency are essential for successful training.

• You are fully responsible for your dog’s behaviour at all times.

4. Behavioural Issues, Reactivity & Aggression

If your dog displays reactivity, resource guarding, fear-based behaviours, or aggression:

We are not liable for incidents arising from undisclosed behavioural issues.

5. Physical Risks

Training activities may involve physical movement for both the dog and the handler.

6. Online Training & Digital Products

Online content (videos, written guides, virtual consultations, or courses):

If you believe a person or animal is in immediate danger, contact:

We are not responsible for injuries or damages resulting from equipment failure, misuse, or unsupervised use.
