General Terms and Conditions - ulrikemeder.com
All training and rehabilitation techniques used by Ulrike Meder are kind, fair and reward based. Every training & rehabilitation provides individual tuition and a relaxed environment. Training is designed to be fun and rewarding for both dog and owner but in the interest of safety, responsibility and welfare it is important that the following terms and conditions are noted.
Harsh handling is not permitted in training and is strongly discouraged at any other time.
Ulrike Meder does not restrict the number of family members that are allowed to the training (more the merrier) and children are more than welcome. However, an adult must accompany young people under the age of 16. Young children under the age of five are also welcome; a second adult should also attend to enable one adult to concentrate on the child and the other with the dog.
All dogs attending the training should be fully vaccinated and up to date with their boosters. Please do not bring your dog to the training if he or she has been in contact with another dog infected by a contagious disease. If you are unsure whether or not to bring your dog to the training please do not hesitate to call Ulrike Meder or speak with your veterinary surgeon. If a dog is unable to attend training due to sickness, the owner is asked to give notice as soon as he finds out.
Training Terms and Conditions - ulrikemeder.com
By making a booking through ulrikemeder.com, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and fully accept our terms and conditions as detailed below:
Bookings
Booking is done by selecting a course on ulrikemeder.com, and completing the Booking & Payment process before any training takes place.
Full payment is required prior to any training or consultation conducted by Ulrike Meder. Payment can be made online by selecting the appropriate course and/or service you require.
During the booking process, you will have the ability to select preferred dates for the training to take place. The dates will be confirmed by Ulrike Meder after payment is made. Whilst Ulrike will make every effort to provide the training on the specified dates, these dates may be subject to change, dependent on availability.
When time allows before the first training, we will send you confirmation of your booking. This will confirm payment, the intake date, and give other information pertinent to your booking. It is the client’s responsibility to ensure they attend on the correct date, time and place for the trainings, as confirmed by Ulrike Meder. Please make every effort to attend the appointments. If you are unable to attend, please let Ulrike Meder know as soon as possible.
Refund Policy
There is no refund possibility for the training packages:
- Training package (4x 1.5 hour session)
- Intensive Training package (3x 1.5 hour session)
- Adult dogs – group socialization (4x 1 hour session)
- Puppies - group socialization (4x 1 hour session)

This policy also applies if the dog owner decides to discontinue with the training. Exceptional circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Ulrikemeder.com requires a 24 hours notification of cancellation of a training lesson, otherwise an administration fee of €50 will be charged for any session. Exceptional circumstances will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Failure to pay in a timely fashion may result in your training being given to another client.
There will be no partial refunds for missed trainings.
Price advertised at time of booking applies.
Training Attendance
Ulrike Meder has the right to postpone any training course or consultation session. If Ulrike decides to postpone a session (for example, due to bad weather) - she will make every effort to re-arrange the session to a time that suits the attendee/s.
Our courses consist of weekly or bi-weekly classes, rather than a roll-on, roll-off programme or random attendance. For optimum results, we hope that you will attend all the training and complete the course.
To make the most of the classes and achieve optimal results, many short daily training sessions at home are favourable to allow you and your dog to practice the techniques and lessons prior to the next class.
It may at times, be necessary to cancel sessions due to inclement weather. This will be seen as a postponement with the session rolling over to the following week.
Training Rules - ulrikemeder.com
The following items are NOT PERMITTED at training under any circumstances:
- choker chains and/or check chains of any description
- any other device that causes discomfort, pain or fear to the dog
- prong or pinch collars
- any equipment that Ulrike Meder deems unacceptable.
The use of physical force and punishment-based training techniques are not permitted in any training sessions.
We acknowledge that successful human-dog training depends on a combination of learned skills on part of the dog and owner. As such Ulrikemeder.com will work directly with any dog to communicate current best practice animal behaviour knowledge that best suits the human’s and the dog’s needs.
A dog’s behaviour is ultimately the owners’ responsibility and Ulrikemeder.com will make every reasonable effort to help the client attain goals, but makes no guarantee of performance, on the part of the client or dog as a result of providing professional dog behaviour modification training and rehabilitation.
If a client decides to consult another dog trainer or dog behaviourist while receiving dog training services of any type with ulrikemeder.com and if Ulrike Meder has not recommended specifically this dog trainer or behaviourist, ulrikemeder.com reserves the right to end the relationship with the client and will not be liable to respond to any further inquiry.
Thank you to all our customers for their continued support. Please remember to let us know if there is anything you think we could do better.
