Balanced Dog Training – “Making Sit Happen”

Training Philosophy

At Cora’s Canine Solutions, we practice balanced dog training, which combines clear structure, positive reinforcement, and the use of fair corrections when necessary. We believe in setting dogs up for success through consistency, clarity, and communication. Every dog is unique, and our methods are tailored to each dog's needs, temperament, and learning style.

Balanced training may involve the use of training tools such as:

  • Slip leads

  • Martingale collars

  • Prong collars

  • E-collars (remote collars)

All tools are introduced with education and care. The purpose is not to punish but to clearly communicate with the dog in a humane, structured way that enhances understanding and behavior.

Use of Tools

By enrolling in our programs, the client acknowledges and agrees to the possible use of training tools, including but not limited to prong collars and e-collars. These tools are never used in fear-based or punitive ways, and their use is always explained and demonstrated with full transparency.

Behavior Disclaimer – Bites Happen

While every effort is made to safely manage and train dogs of all temperaments, Cora’s Canine Solutions is not liable for any injuries, bites, or damages caused by the dog before, during, or after training.

If a Bite Occurs:

Bites may happen in training, especially when working with dogs that exhibit fear, anxiety, or reactivity. The response and continuation of training will be determined by:

  • Severity of the bite

  • Safety of the handler and public

  • Owner’s willingness to continue under modified terms

We reserve the right to discontinue training if we determine that a dog presents an unreasonable risk.

No Liability Clause

By enrolling, the client agrees to hold Cora’s Canine Solutions harmless from any injury, damage, or legal liability resulting from dog behavior before, during, or after training. The client acknowledges that they are responsible for their dog’s actions at all times.

No Refund Policy

All payments are final and non-refundable.
We do not offer refunds for:

  • Missed sessions

  • Changes in schedule

  • Behavioral challenges

  • Owner dissatisfaction due to lack of follow-through or commitment

We commit to providing skilled instruction and support. However, dog behavior involves many variables, including environment, genetics, and owner consistency, which are outside our control. Training success depends on the owner's daily involvement and follow-through.

Safety, Scheduling & Conduct

  • 24-hour notice is required to reschedule a session.

  • Aggressive behavior or repeated cancellations may result in dismissal from the program without refund.

  • Handlers must follow all safety protocols and instructions during training.

Final Acknowledgment

By participating in any training program with Cora’s Canine Solutions, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to all policies and procedures listed above.
