Terms & Conditions
Last updated: September 4, 2026
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of ktisdell.com (the “Website”), which is operated by Karen Tisdell (“I,” “me,” or “my”). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms.
1. Informational Website
The Website provides general information about my dog training and behavior consulting services. It is not a substitute for individualized professional advice, veterinary care, emergency care, or a written agreement for services.
If your dog is ill, injured, in distress, or presents an immediate safety risk, contact a licensed veterinarian, emergency veterinary provider, or appropriate local emergency service.
2. No Guaranteed Results
Dog training and behavior work depend on many factors, including the dog’s health, history, environment, genetics, and the consistency of those involved in the dog’s care. I do not guarantee any specific result, outcome, or timeline based on information provided on this Website.
3. Third-Party Services and Links
The Website may link to or use third-party platforms for scheduling, payment, communication, forms, or other services. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms, privacy policies, and practices. I am not responsible for third-party websites, content, availability, or services.
Any appointment, payment, or client service provided through a third-party platform may also be subject to separate terms presented through that platform or in a separate client agreement.
