Kirby Mountain Sporting
Dogs is closed Sundays and Mondays. Training is Tuesday – Saturday and all
business at our facility is done by appointment only. Feel free to call and
check on the progress of your dog, but remember that we are not sitting by the
phone—there is training and care that is ongoing 7 days a week and 24 hours a
day.
Training Contract
1. I understand that I will be leaving my dog for training and
that John Hayes, the trainer, is not responsible for injury, death, or loss of
the dog.
2. The dog will be highly cared for and will be fed top quality
dog food.
3. My dog will be given medication that is prescribed by my
veterinarian. John Hayes has the right to bring my dog to his veterinarian if
he thinks it is necessary at my expense. (If you, the dog owner, wish heartworm
medication to be given, it needs to be in a monthly, chewable dose [i.e. Heartguard].)
4. The cost for training my dog is $25.00 per day. When I drop
off my dog, a minimum of 30 days payment ($750.00) is required. This price is all
inclusive.
5. When leaving my dog, these guidelines will be followed:
a. I will arrive at my scheduled time as other appointments and
training are scheduled around my appointment. (Most importantly all
appointments are scheduled for the optimum and safest work time as the heat of
the day can affect both the dog’s performance and health.)
b. My dog/dogs must be
on a leash when out of my car.
6. Some dogs can accept a great deal of training in 30 days,
others are just getting started. The average adult dog needs 6 months of
intensive training to be a proficient gun dog. If I leave my dog for less time,
I do not expect a fully trained dog. Obedience training may take less time
dependent upon what I, the owner, expect to get done and upon how diligent I am
with the follow up at home.
7. When I come to pick up my dog, I will expect to spend the time
the trainer feels is necessary for me to learn the techniques that the my dog
and the trainer have used so that I will have the skills to follow through on
the training.
The following is required
before leaving your dog for training at Kirby Mountain Sporting Dogs:
1.
Proof of shots – distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza,
canine parvovirus, coronavirus, and bordetella (kennel cough).
2.
Proof of recent stool sample – proving negative on worms or internal parasites
is needed.
*There will be a $50.00 (and the cost of a
veterinary visit) surcharge if your dog tests positive for parasites once it is
here. This charge only partially covers my time and inconvenience of a
veterinary visit and the possible contamination of my facility.
Finally, a booking fee of $50.00 is required when reservations
are made, and this is taken off the training balance.
