Professional licence
Last updated: 23 October 2026.
The Professional plan is for dog trainers who work with A Paws a Day as partners, by invitation. With it, The Gentle Dog Trainer gives you a licence to use A Paws a Day's stories in your work with dog owners, on the terms below. It sits alongside our Terms.
Who it covers
The person named on the Professional plan. If you work with others (a training school, a practice), each person using the stories in their work needs their own plan.
What you may do
- Read a story aloud, or tell it in your own words, to clients in one-to-one sessions, classes, workshops and talks, in person or live online. Always say where it's from: "This is from A Paws a Day, apawsaday.com."
- Share links: to apawsaday.com, to a story's own page (each one has a public preview, for example apawsaday.com/story/56-the-nine-foot-friend), and to A Paws a Day's social media accounts. Send them by email, message or social media, as you like.
- Repost or share A Paws a Day's own social media posts, as they are, from our accounts.
- Give your clients your partner code, so they get the discount when they join.
What you may not do
- Make or share copies of a story in any form: no printing, photocopying, emailing, screenshots or photos of the text, the illustration, the recording or the video, and no copying them into handouts, slides, documents or messages.
- Post a story, an illustration, a recording or a video on a website, blog, newsletter or social media, other than sharing a link or reposting our own posts.
- Present a story as your own, or leave out where it's from.
- Put them in anything you sell (books, courses, packs, recordings) or in a recorded course.
- Share your plan, the library or the recordings with other trainers or businesses.
- Use the stories to train or feed artificial intelligence systems.

When the plan ends
The licence lasts while your Professional plan is active. When it ends, stop using the stories in your work. Links you've already shared can stay where they are.
Ownership
The stories, illustrations, recordings and videos remain ours. This licence doesn't transfer any ownership, and it can't be passed on to anyone else.
