Puppy Pros Training does not sell, rent, or share your personal information, including phone numbers, to third parties for marketing, lead generation, or other promotional purposes.

SMS Communication

No third-party sharing: Mobile information (including phone numbers and SMS consent data) will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes under any circumstances.

Phone numbers provided for SMS communication are used solely by Puppy Pros Training for the purposes explicitly described in this section. We do not share, sell, or rent these numbers to any third parties for marketing, lead generation, or other purposes, and this applies across all services.

How We Collect Consent

We collect your consent to receive SMS (text) communications in the following ways:

Verbal Consent During In-Home Consultations: When you schedule a free in-home consultation with Puppy Pros Training, the trainer will verbally present the SMS consent process to you during the visit. The trainer will state:

“Would you like to sign up for SMS notifications from Puppy Pros Training so we can send you appointment reminders, training tips, and occasional promotions? By providing your phone number to Puppy Pros Training you are consenting to receive appointment reminders, training tips, and promotional messages via text messages from us. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary. You can text HELP for support or more information and STOP to unsubscribe at any time. We won’t share your mobile information with third parties for marketing.”

If you verbally agree, your phone number will be recorded and you will receive a confirmation SMS with opt-out instructions. To be added to promotional messaging, you must reply YES to the confirmation message. If you do not reply YES, you will only receive informational messages (such as appointment reminders).

Inbound SMS: If you contact us first via SMS, we will respond with an opt-in confirmation message explaining that message and data rates may apply, message frequency may vary, and how you can opt out by replying STOP.

Verbal Consent Over the Phone: In some cases, we may ask for and document your consent verbally during phone calls. Verbal consent is documented in our records with the date and time of consent.

How We Use SMS

We use SMS to communicate with you about:

  • Appointment confirmations, reminders, and updates
  • Training tips and educational content
  • Responses to your inquiries or support requests
  • Marketing messages and promotions you have explicitly opted into

Message frequency: You will receive up to 6 messages per month. Standard message and data rates may apply.

Opt-In Confirmation

After you verbally opt in to SMS communication during an in-home consultation (or through another method described above), you will receive a confirmation SMS that outlines the subscription details, message frequency, and opt-out instructions. If you wish to also receive promotional messages, you will be asked to confirm by replying YES to that initial SMS. If you do not reply YES, you will only receive informational messages. You may reply STOP or HELP to any SMS message at any time.

Opt-Out Option

You can opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying “STOP” to any message. Upon receiving your STOP request, we will send a final confirmation message and will not send any further SMS communications unless you opt in again. If you require further assistance, reply “HELP” or contact us directly at (321) 320-8382 or help@puppyprostraining.com.

SMS-Specific Data Usage

Your mobile phone data will not be shared with third-party affiliates for marketing or affiliate purposes. Mobile numbers provided for SMS communications are used strictly for the purposes described in this SMS Communication section, such as appointment reminders, support, training-related content, or promotional offers you explicitly opted into.

These phone numbers are not sold, rented, or shared with third parties for marketing or lead generation under any circumstances.
