What are Postpones?

When you enroll into a month of training with me, you will be issued 2 Postpones. You may use these as passes to push your weekly session forward to the next week. Whether you have a family emergency, sickness, or need a break from training… use 1 of your Postpones to be excused from our session.

Examples:

• There is weather you don't want to train in, such as high heat or strong wind or rain. You message me about the situation & we decide if using a Postpone is the best option. K9sBlossom trains Rain or Shine!
• Your chronic illness is flaring up and need to take a 2 week pause on training. You use both of your Postpones.

You are allowed 2 Postpones per month or pay cycle. Please try to notify me the day before, but if it is surprising or urgent, I understand.

Involuntary Postpone Scenarios

• If you No-Show or are more than 15 minutes late -without- notification, you will be using 1 of your Postpones.
• If you do not confirm your session before 8pm the night before via text or call, your will be using one of your Postpones or your session will be dismissed until we can confirm another date and time.
• If you fail to schedule your weekly session and do not come to train before Saturday, you will be using 1 of your Postpones.
• If you need to push our sessions from a weekly basis to a bi-weekly basis, you will be using your 2 postpones to cover our off weeks.

Evaluations or Single Sessions -do not- come with Postpones.

Multi-Priced Offerings & Opportunities are in place to combat inaccessible, outrageous prices that are prevalent in the Dog Training Industry for no reason besides greed. Those with disabilities, low income, tight budgets, or any other financial stressors often find themselves “priced out” of quality dog training. This leaves the dogs who need training the most (such as those with complex behavioural deficits) without and leaves owners to struggle alone.

That's not how we work here at K9sBlossom. 

We offer Free, Barter, Low-Cost, & Sliding Scale Training Opportunities.

Free Offerings:

• Free Advice though text or Instagram (@K9sBlossom) messages!
• Free AKC CGC and/or Virtual Home Manners Evaluation for those who's housing is threatened by their landlord. Title your dog's behaviour in public and at home to strengthen your case against them.

Barter Opportunities:

• Exchange Goods and/or Services for Virtual or In-Person Training! No money involved!

Example: I train Blue Healer Yoga's dogs for access to their yoga studio.

I would be interested in virtual training for fresh produce from a garden.

Contact me with your trade, goods, and/or offerings and I'll see what I can offer you in return.

Low-Cost Offerings:

• Scholarships are available for Behaviour Rehabilitation.
• Need-based discounts on Virtual Training.

Sliding Scale Monthly Training Payment:

There is no -right way- to sliding scale pay. You may pay the “low-side”, “high side”, or in-between. As long as you are somewhere along the scale, you will receive the same quality service and smile!

Payment must be provided at the end of our first session, in full, to ensure your commitment to your dog & to training with K9sBlossom consistently. 

I require full payment to prevent myself from losing wage due to no-shows. When you pay for a month of training, you are opting into the Postpone structure and the chance that you may lose sessions if you are inconsistent in your attendance.

All prices reflect the amount of effort exerted during training & the effect that has on my body, cost of transportation, and level of expertise necessary.
