The key laws and regulators for UK consumers are the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (14-day cooling-off for many online/off-premises contracts), the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (services must be performed with reasonable care and skill and unfair contract terms are not binding) and the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 for renewal/cooling-off rules. The Fundraising Regulator sets standards for charity fundraising and Dogs Trust adheres to the Fundraising Promise.
For many paid services such as Behaviour Services, a 14-day cooling-off period applies under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Dogs Trust Behaviour Services terms confirm a full refund if cancelled within 14 days provided no service has been attended. See Dogs Trust Behaviour Services terms: Behaviour Services T&C.

If not resolved, complain to the Fundraising Regulator regarding fundraising conduct and the Fundraising Promise: Fundraising Promise. 3. Get free advice from Citizens Advice. 4. For card payments, consider chargeback or Section 75 via your card issuer if the payment qualifies. 5.
