AITA for telling a family their dog isn't the problem, they are, and then keeping the fee?

me (41M), board and train, five dogs of my own. took a lab (3M, the dog) for three weeks for reactivity. dog was fine with me by day four. genuinely fine. the reactivity was contextual and the context was the house. i film everything, so i had three weeks of a calm dog on video. when they collected i told them straight: the dog isn't reactive, the dog is responding to how the house runs — three people giving different commands, one of them using the crate as punishment, kid allowed to wake him. the father said he paid two thousand dollars for a trained dog and got a lecture. he wanted a refund. i didn't give it. i said the training happened, it's on video, and the part he's unhappy about is the part that's his. my sister says i took two grand off a family to tell them they're bad owners. i say i took two grand to train a dog and did.
