Legal Information

The information on this site is intended to be useful and informative for customers/members of Bertie Dog Training Club and Nij Vyas Sheepdogs. We will use reasonable care to ensure that information is accurate at the time it is added on the site. Please note, however, that Bertie Dog Training Club or Nij Vyas cannot guarantee the information is accurate and it shall not be liable for any losses or damage that anyone may suffer as a result of relying on this information. The information may be changed by us at any time. Safety For your own safety please do not approach and bend over other peoples dogs, or attempt to stroke them without prior permission. Dogs are often frightened by full on eye contact and a wagging tail does not always signify a friendly dog. Similarly please refrain from allowing dogs to meet without prior permission from owners. Members are also reminded not to follow/apply heavy handed methods of dog training, correction or rehabilitation as the potential for harm to you, your dog, family members and friends is far greater than the benefits that are to be had. Please also be wary of any gadgets you use as without the correct use problems can arise. If in doubt please ask for advice. Cancellation Sessions may be cancelled and re-arranged provided I receive your instruction no less than 48 hours before the course time. Cancellations on the day of the session may incur the full cost of the session or result in a reduced subsequent session. Please be aware that I have to travel 10 miles to attend training sessions and late cancellations can be costly in terms of diesel used. To ensure we receive your message please telephone us and not email. Deposits will only be refunded where adequate notice is given. Refunds will be considered with respect to four sessions being booked for sheep awareness courses only but please be aware that the sessions you have had prior to cancellation will incur the full charge and not the discounted charge. Therefore a single visit will cost £145. Please note in any event the refunds made will be as follows: One Session: £26.66 | Two Sessions: £53.33 | Three Sessions: £80.00 Risk Assessment We endeavour to ensure that your experience with us is a safe and pleasant one; please take note of the following: In the winter the ground can be wet and slippery so please ensure that appropriate footwear and clothing is worn. The weather can change very suddenly on the Caudals. The lowland areas are fairly flat though care should be taken whilst walking on the hills where there are ant hills, rabbit warrens and badger sets. Please would you also ensure that you do not approach the dogs or livestock without prior consent as working dogs can sometimes act in an unpredictable manner as can sheep. By avoiding both hand, eye contact and bending over them you will ensure that the dogs maintain their healthy respect and trust in you. Where possible the dangers will be pointed out to you at the beginning of sessions. Parents are asked to discuss these points with their children prior to arriving. We accept no responsibility where the above advice is breached for any accidents or injuries sustained or for any damage to property. Children must be supervised at all times by their parents. By booking with us it is understood that you agree and abide by the above risk assessment.
