​
9. Behaviour Training Disclaimer​
-
Behaviour change is a process that requires time, effort, and consistency.
-
No guarantees are made regarding the outcome of training, as results depend on various factors, including the dog’s temperament, environment, past experiences, and the owner's commitment to implementing the training plan.
-
Some behaviours, particularly those related to fear, reactivity, and anxiety, may require ongoing management rather than complete resolution. Training is an ongoing process, and setbacks may occur if consistency is not maintained.
