Disclaimer: The HGA must stress that although we have measures in place to safeguard the pledge and ethics, we rely on an element of trust and cooperation from both the general public and our members.
To only use positive, non-dominant based methods when caring for your pet.
To be totally transparent with their approach to caring for your pet and will offer you a bespoke care plan to suit the individual needs of your pet.
To work with your pet using consent and choice to encourage cooperation and trust.
To never use restraints with aversive tools that will cause your pet unnecessary emotional and/or physical suffering.
To be honest with you at all times and offer you advice based on their knowledge and skill-set. They will refer you to the appropriate professional in cases where they feel they can’t help.
To adhere to the code of ethics of the HGA so long as their membership continues, and understands that failure to do so will result in the immediate termination of their membership with the Holistic Grooming Academy.
