Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 30, 2026

These Terms of Service govern your use of the Good Choice Dog Academy website and any online forms, booking tools, content, or services made available through the website.

By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Service.

1. Website Purpose

The Good Choice Dog Academy website provides information about dog-training services, training philosophy, assessment options, and ways to contact or book with us.

The information on this website is for general informational purposes only. It is not a guarantee of results, a substitute for professional evaluation, or a complete training plan for your individual dog.

2. No Guaranteed Results

Dog training outcomes depend on many factors, including the dog’s temperament, history, health, environment, owner follow-through, consistency, safety management, and the nature of the behavior being addressed.

Good Choice Dog Academy does not guarantee specific results, timelines, behavior changes, off-leash reliability, or permanent outcomes.

3. Assessments and Recommendations

Submitting a form, booking an assessment, or contacting Good Choice Dog Academy does not guarantee acceptance into a program.

Any recommendation is based on the information available at the time and may change after further observation, assessment, or training progress.

Good Choice Dog Academy reserves the right to decline service, refer a dog to another professional, recommend veterinary evaluation, or discontinue services when appropriate.

4. Owner Responsibility

Dog owners are responsible for their dog’s behavior, safety, health, equipment, environment, and follow-through outside of training sessions.

You agree to provide accurate information about your dog, including known bite history, aggression, reactivity, medical concerns, medications, prior training, behavior issues, and safety risks.

You are responsible for following safety instructions, management recommendations, and applicable leash laws or public-space rules.

5. Veterinary and Medical Matters

Good Choice Dog Academy does not provide veterinary care, medical diagnosis, or medical treatment.

Behavior changes may sometimes be related to pain, illness, injury, medication, genetics, age, or other health factors. We may recommend that you consult a licensed veterinarian before or during training.

6. Safety and Risk

Working with dogs involves inherent risk, including bites, scratches, falls, leash injuries, property damage, escape, reactivity, conflict with other animals, or other unexpected behavior.

By participating in training or using information from this website, you understand that dogs are living animals and behavior cannot be predicted with complete certainty.

7. Payments, Cancellations, and Refunds

Payment terms, cancellation policies, rescheduling rules, and refund policies may vary depending on the service, program, or agreement.

Any specific payment, cancellation, refund, or rescheduling terms provided in writing at the time of booking or enrollment will apply.

Good Choice Dog Academy may require deposits, full payment, or signed agreements before services begin.

8. Website Content

All website content, including text, images, branding, layout, training concepts, and written materials, is owned by or licensed to Good Choice Dog Academy unless otherwise stated.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or use website content for commercial purposes without written permission.

9. No Misuse of Website

You agree not to misuse the website, submit false information, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with website function, upload malicious content, or use the website for unlawful purposes.

10. Third-Party Links and Tools

The website may include links to third-party websites, booking tools, payment processors, forms, maps, social media platforms, or other services.

Good Choice Dog Academy is not responsible for third-party websites, services, policies, errors, outages, or practices.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Good Choice Dog Academy is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the website, reliance on website information, or participation in services.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit rights that cannot legally be limited.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Continued use of the website after updates means you accept the revised Terms.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
