**Rates Increase October 1st, 2007 on Privates and Evaluations**

Privates - $35.00 per hour

Evaluations -  $50.00 per hour

Group With Birds - $22.00 With Bumpers $20.00

CANCELLATION POLICY

EFFECTIVE - 5/27/2008

The type of Business I have is dependent on scheduling appointments and groups and alloting my time appropiately.  As a result of recent auditing of my Schedule Books I realize I am loosing money from short notice cancellations by being unable to fill the time slot with another client. In additon to the fact I am then often times stuck with a time gap between clients where I could be filled. I don’t want to punish the whole, for a few. I don’t want to penalize folks with Emergency situations. But I don’t want to loose money either.  I have decided to track cancellations individually.    If you need to cancel your Private Lesson or Limited Group Sessions I would appreciate a minium of 1 weeks Notice. Cancellations with less than one weeks notice will be tracked.  If you cancel one Private or Limited Group in a 3 month period there is No Charge. If you cancel 2 Privates, or Limited Group in a 3 month period a 50 % fee will be charged for each one cancelled. If you cancel 3 or more Privates in a 3 month period a 100% fee will be charged. Any further cancellations after the 3 month period will be at 100%.  I realize unexpected Emergencys do occur and these will be dealt with on a case by case basis. If you have any questions regarding this policy please feel free to contact me.

 

   

**TRAINING BIRDS NOTICE**         

I HAVE PAID $17.50 (INCLUDES SHIPPING) A PIECE FOR THE DUCKS I ORDERED FROM A COMPANY CALLED “WHISTLING WINGS” IN ILLINOIS.  PHONE NUMBER 815-591-3512. I HAVE PAID ANYWHERE FROM $3.00 TO $4.00 FOR LIVE PIGEONS. $12.50 FOR LIVE DUCKS. THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE FEED AND CARE OF THE LIVE BIRDS.  I HAVE TO RECOUP MY LOSSES ON THESE BIRDS SO I CAN CONTINUE TO ORDER MORE. I FEEL IT IS FAIR TO ASK YOU EITHER TO USE MY TRAINING BIRDS FOR A SMALL FEE IN GROUP : LIVE PIGEONS $4.00. SHACKLED DUCK $6.50 RENTAL, $13.00 IF KILLED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE BIRDS TO YOUR DOGS. THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS FOR YOU EACH TO BRING YOUR OWN BIRDS AND MARK THEM WITH TAPE TO BE USED WITH YOUR DOGS ONLY AT EACH TRAINING DAY. IN THE EVENT YOU WANT DEAD OR LIVE BIRDS FOR YOUR TRAINING SESSIONS PLEASE NOTIFY ME AT LEAST 24 HOURS AHEAD SO I MAY EITHER ARRANGE TO CATCH THE BIRDS, OR DEFROST THEM.

 IN THE EVENT YOU DON’T NOTIFY ME I CAN NOT PROVIDE YOUR DOG WITH BIRDS. WHICH IN SOME CASES MAY BE UNFAIR TO YOUR DOG IF WE ARE IN GROUP AND YOUR DOG GETS BUMPERS AND THE REST OF THE DOGS GET BIRDS.
