Disclaimer
Important information about our services and website
Last updated: January 2025
Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using our services. This document outlines important limitations regarding our training services, website content and the inherent risks associated with dog training. By using our services, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
General Disclaimer
The information provided by 100%K9 Dog Training on our website and through our services is for general informational purposes only. All information is provided in good faith; however, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability or completeness of any information.
Professional Advice Disclaimer
The content on this website is not intended to be a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your veterinarian or other qualified animal health provider with any questions you may have regarding your dog's health or behaviour.
Never disregard professional veterinary advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website. Our training recommendations are based on behavioural science and experience but should complement, not replace, professional veterinary care.
Training Results Disclaimer
While we strive to provide effective training programmes, individual results may vary significantly. Dog training is a collaborative effort, and success depends on many factors including:
- The dog's age, breed, temperament and behavioural history
- Consistency in applying training methods at home
- Home environment and family dynamics
- Health conditions that may affect behaviour or learning
- Owner commitment, participation and follow-through
- Time dedicated to practising between sessions
We cannot guarantee specific outcomes, timeframes for behavioural improvements, or that all undesirable behaviours will be completely eliminated. Training is an ongoing process that requires dedication from all family members.
No Guarantees on Specific Outcomes
100%K9 Dog Training does not guarantee that:
- Your dog will achieve a particular level of obedience or behaviour modification
- Behavioural issues such as reactivity, aggression or anxiety will be fully resolved
- Training results will be permanent without ongoing practice and reinforcement
- Our methods will work equally well for every dog
- Specific goals will be achieved within a defined timeframe
Every dog is an individual, and we tailor our approach accordingly. We commit to providing professional guidance and support, but ultimate success depends on the partnership between trainer, owner and dog.

Dog training involves inherent risks that participants should be aware of. Working with dogs, particularly those with behavioural challenges, carries certain risks including:
