How it works

1

You buy

Pay via Stripe and tell me who it's for. Name, email, and a personal note if you want to include one.

2

They receive the gift

Within 24 hours I send them an email with the PDF(s) or voucher code, including your note. They'll know it came from you.

3

They use it

PDFs: open and read. Vouchers: book with me at happydogs@dionathetrainer.com and quote the code. Done.

Who this lands for

A friend who just brought home a puppy and is already overwhelmed.

A sibling whose dog is reactive on walks and they've stopped going.

A colleague who works from home and the dog is unsettling every Zoom call.

A parent who's frustrated with the family dog and starting to resent it.

Someone you love who's been talking about their dog the same way for months. They might not be ready to ask for help. The gift is the easier door.

Questions people ask

Can I include a personal note?

Yes. There's a note field at Stripe checkout. Whatever you write goes into the email I send the recipient, attributed to you.

How long is the voucher valid?

Three years from purchase, per Australian gift card law. The recipient can take their time.

Can the recipient choose between the puppy program and a private session?

Yes. The voucher applies to either. They decide what fits their dog when they redeem.

What if the recipient lives overseas?

Vouchers are valid for online sessions and the online puppy program. Both work from anywhere in the world.

Can I get a refund?

PDF gifts (the $10 guide and $25 bundle) are delivered to the recipient within minutes and are non-refundable. Vouchers ($200 and $400) are refundable until the recipient redeems them, minus a 10% administration fee that covers Stripe processing and handling. Email happydogs@dionathetrainer.com with your order details and I'll process within 5 business days. Exceptions on PDF gifts are made on a case-by-case basis if the gift genuinely didn't fit.

About the gift-giver here

Hi, I'm Diona. Melbourne-based, fifteen years across zoo, wildlife, and private dog training. My methodology is built on reading dogs first and commanding second, and most of my clients arrive after two or three other trainers haven't quite cracked it.

If you're gifting on behalf of someone who's been struggling, you're giving them more than a PDF or a voucher. You're giving them a way out of feeling alone with a dog that won't behave.
