Financial Accessibility
Finding quality care for a loved one, no matter if they are human or a companion animal, can be difficult in these times both financially and emotionally. Especially in today’s economic strain, we do not wish to see families torn a part because they cannot afford positive reinforcement dog training and/or they do not have access to humane dog training in their area. Through both our virtual and in-person services, we aim to provide:
Payment plans for those who qualify for behavior sessions post consultations
Access to free and/or low cost webinars, meet-ups, and articles
A partnership with pet insurance companies for training reimbursement (**We are in process of this!)
Application for a monthly Scallywag Scholarship (**We are in the process of this too!!)
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion means that we want to focus on mentoring as well providing affordable training to those who:
are a person who experiences discrimination and/or violence related to systematic oppression
have medical expenses, been denied work, or experience discrimination related to ableism
are eligible for public assistance
have immigration-related expenses
are a sex worker who experiences occupational discrimination (personal or legislative)
are an unpaid community organizer
are a returning citizen who has been denied work due to incarceration history
are supporting children or have other dependents
We acknowledge that our services might still not be affordable for some. Please understand that we are offering a model that we feel is sustainable for our small business at this time. For more information about our behavioral session payment plans, please contact us at thescallywagdog@gmail.com on how we can best service you and/or connect you with resources and organizations within the community to keep you and your furry loved one together.
