The Rescued Dog
Brushing up your skills & getting you started on the right track with your rescue dog.
Service Description
Give your rescued dog a fresh start with a 1:1 session of basic skills for new owners. With my knowledge gained working at a local shelter, I have an understanding of the challenges that many dogs experience during their time in a shelter environment; this is in addition to whatever negative experiences they have had prior to their arrival in the system. This session covers basic skills, techniques and a dive into canine communication; my aim is to help you build a strong foundation for a happy and well-mannered pet, ensuring your newest family member becomes a well adjusted dog. This session is offered at a lower hourly rate than I would normally charge - this is my way of saying "thank you" because we agree that Rescue is the best breed! Proof of adoption may be required.
Cancellation Policy
At Working Wonders Dog Training, I value your time and commitment — just as I value mine. Consistency is key to your dog’s progress, and clear communication helps us make the most of every session together. Cancellations and Rescheduling • If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, please send a text message to 0418 279 009 as soon as possible. • At least 24 hours’ notice is required for all cancellations. • Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur the full session fee. Inclement Weather • If a session needs to be cancelled due to severe weather conditions, there will be no charge. • I’ll contact you if the weather is unsuitable for training and arrange a rescheduled time. Arriving on Time • Please aim to arrive a few minutes early so we can start promptly. • Sessions will finish at the scheduled time even if you arrive late, as other clients may be booked immediately afterwards. Health and Safety • Please let me know if your dog or anyone in your household is unwell or has a contagious condition (canine or human!). • Safety for both people and dogs is my top priority — if conditions are unsafe to proceed, I reserve the right to end a session early or reschedule. Consistency and Progress • Training works best with regular attendance and ongoing practice between sessions. • I’ll provide written notes or homework sheets so you can continue working on your dog’s skills at home.
