Questions
Training packages FAQ.
When do I pay for a training package?
At your first session, by cash, card, Venmo or Zelle. Nothing is charged online. You build and buy your package here, pick your first session on Zac's calendar, and pay him at that session.
When does my package start?
At your first session. From that day, T1 is used within 60 days, T2 within 120 days and T3 within six months. If something outside your control gets in the way, like an illness, an injury or bad weather, Zac extends your window.
What if I need to reschedule a session?
Give Zac at least 48 hours notice and you keep the hour. Reply to your confirmation email, or call or text him.
Can I move up to a bigger package?
Yes. You can move up partway through, for example from T1 to T2, and what you've already paid counts toward it.
Are training packages refundable?
No. If something outside your control gets in the way, Zac extends your window instead, and you can always move up to a bigger package.
Is the restaurant hour in T2 and T3 extra?
No. If you'd like a restaurant session, it's included: Zac uses one of your package hours at a dog friendly patio. If you want more time out in the real world, add extra outings in step 3.
Can I give a training package as a gift?
Yes. Check "This is a gift" in step 4. Zac texts you to arrange payment, then emails them a gift certificate so they can pick their own times. Gift certificates never expire, and the package window starts at their first session.
What if I live outside St. Johns County?
Sessions outside the county add travel at $2 per mile, based on the round trip Google Maps driving distance from Zac's facility, for every session he drives to. Sessions inside St. Johns County and at Zac's facility never have a travel fee.
Can I use a package for aggression or reactivity?
No. Packages cover obedience and puppy training. Behavior cases start with an evaluation, $250 at your home or $180 at Zac's facility, and Zac sets the plan from there.
