Step-Back Ladder

Refund policy

Last updated: October 11, 2026 (draft)

14-day refund, no questions asked. Email us within 14 days of buying and you'll have your money back.

What it covers

The refund covers what you bought from this site:

  • The Step-Back Ladder: The Plan-First Guide ($27)
  • The Ladder Toolkit ($17), if you added it

You can ask for a refund on one item or both.

What it is not

The refund is about the files, not your dog. We can't promise how your dog will act, and the refund is not tied to that. You don't need to show any result, or lack of one, to get your money back.

How to ask

  1. Email [email protected] within 14 days of your purchase.
  2. Use the email you bought with, or include your Stripe receipt.
  3. That's it. You don't need to give a reason.

When you get it

We send refunds through Stripe, to the card you paid with. Banks can take 5 to 10 business days to show it.

Your files

You can keep the files you downloaded.

Organized by Paul Michael. I'm a dog owner, not a dog trainer or a vet. I put this together from published guidance by the ASPCA, Arizona Humane Society and certified separation-anxiety trainers.

I'm not a dog trainer or a veterinarian, and this isn't veterinary advice. The Step-Back Ladder helps you organize a practice plan and a Cover Plan you can follow and take to your vet or a certified trainer. See your vet first to rule out medical causes. If your dog is injuring themselves, trying to escape through windows or doors, or not eating when alone, talk to your vet or a veterinary behaviorist now. Moderate and severe cases do best with a professional. ASPCA recommends working with a qualified behavior professional (and a vet for any medication).

The Step-Back Ladder is a set of PDF planning pages. It is not veterinary care, and it does not diagnose anything. How your dog does depends on your dog. Quotes from the ASPCA, Arizona Humane Society and Malena DeMartini are shown so you can check the source. None of them made, reviewed or endorsed this kit.
