Cheryl’s Dog Training

**Rates Increase January 1st, 2012 on Privates, Groups, Evaluations and Bird Fees**

2012 is going to be a tough year for me financially. A significant increase in Health Insurance costs has put me in a position where I have no choice but to raise my rates or go out of Business. I am on the cusp of trying to determine IF I can financially manage the dog training business. If I do not make enough money to cover my bills I will be forced to go back in to the Job Market and find a job that will cover my HealthCare and other financial obligations. As a result, I have to raise my rates and change my cancellation policy. I do hope this will not cause too much hardship on any of you.

Privates/Semi-Privates – $45.00 per hour ($5.00 increase)

Evaluations -  $80.00 per hour ($5.00 increase)

Weekday Groups (minium of 6 dogs required to constitute this rate.)With Birds – $23.00 With Bumpers $20.00. Less than 6 dogs the rate will be that of a semi-private $45 per hour as of 1/1/2012. Divide number of dogs by time spent to determine total due. 

Grounds Fees Not Included

CANCELLATION POLICY

EFFECTIVE – 1/1/2012

If you need to cancel your Private Lesson  a minium of 1 weeks Notice is required. Cancellations with less than one weeks notice (unless it is determined there is an Emergency Situation) will be charged the full amount of the Private time scheduled. Last minute cancellations are extremely difficult to fill, in addition it puts me in a postion where I loose money and have gaps in the schedule where I am not being productive.    

As of July 1st I am planning to work Monday through Friday and occasional Weekends close in to Hunt Tests. As a result Private Sessions will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Along with Pre Group Privates on a Limited basis.  Groups will be Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays. Please contact me via email for your Privates ahead of time.

Fridays Intermediate Group Requirements – Work completed including T, Water Forced, Commenced Swim-Bys and be capable of doing multiple concept marks - By Invitation Only- This Group will be in transition preparing for Senior Hunter and above- Expect drill work as a part of this day, cheating singles, basic blind concepts. If you think your dog is ready please ask me.  

A HUGE THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOU WHO DONATED TO MY WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS GIFTS. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS OR DESCRIBE HOW SPECIAL YOUR GENEROSITY, AND THOUGHFULNESS IS FELT. I TRULY APPRECIATE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, AND YOUR MUCH LOVED DOGGIES. WISHING YOU CONTINUED SUCCESS IN THE NEW YEAR!!!
