Accessibility Statement

This statement was last updated on [enter relevant date].

We at [enter organization / business name] are working to make our site [enter site name and  address] accessible to people with disabilities.

Accessibility & Inclusion Policy

At Leashly, we believe every dog and guardian deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen exactly as they are.

 

We welcome dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and behavioral histories, including those recovering from trauma, living with special needs, or needing extra space and time. Our programs and events are designed to be flexible, trauma‑informed, and paced to fit each dog’s unique comfort level never forcing participation or progress.

 

For guardians, we aim to make both our physical and digital spaces accessible and welcoming. If you or your dog require accommodations (such as mobility assistance, quiet entry times, smaller group sizes, or visual resources), your Companion Coach is here to help customize your experience for success.

 

💉 Vaccination & Health

​

To help keep our community safe, we ask that all participating dogs are up‑to‑date on core vaccinations (including Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella, as recommended by your veterinarian). Please let us know if your dog has a medical exemption  we’ll work together to find safe alternatives or quieter participation options.

 

If your dog is showing signs of illness (e.g., coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or contagious skin conditions), we ask that you reschedule your visit or event participation until they’re well.

 

 

 

Belonging isn’t built on perfection :it’s built on empathy, choice, and meeting every participant, canine or human, exactly where they are.

Learn and Unlearn — With No Shame

At Leashly, we believe growth means both discovering new, softer tools and gently letting go of old habits that no longer serve us or our dogs. Whether you’re exploring fear-free handling, practicing cooperative care, or simply pausing to observe instead of correct: you’re welcome here.

 

There’s no judgment, only curiosity and compassion for your dog, and for yourself.
