TRAINING LIABILITY WAIVER

I have enrolled myself and my dog in dog training classes, private consultations, board and train, and/or other related activities offered by WHAT-A-CANINE, LLC. By signing hereunder, I certify that I have been informed and understand that there is always some unavoidable risk of injury involved when working with animals, especially animals with behavioral issues. I acknowledge that dogs can be inherently difficult to control and that not all dogs will be under control at all times resulting in the possibility of injury to myself, my dog, my family members, or third parties. Additionally, I have had full opportunity to discuss all concerns regarding the foregoing risks with WHAT-A-CANINE, LLC. and its authorized representatives. I have also made all inquiries and investigations to my satisfaction related to such risks, including, but not limited to, an examination of the training area (if applicable). I hereby accept and assume, without reservation, all risks associated with my participation in training services, including, but not limited to: the risks of any and all injuries to myself, my dog and any of my family members or third parties who may attend; the risk that my dog may cause injury to other persons and/or dogs involved in training services; and the risk that saliva, water, food, and/or other debris may be present in the training area.

As lawful consideration for participating in provided services, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns (the “Releasing Party”), hereby waive, release, discharge and agree not to sue and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless WHAT-A-CANINE, LLC., and their members, managers, agents, and employees (the “Released Party”) from any and all injuries, losses, claims and damages to any person or persons of any nature whatsoever, including claims arising from the Released Party’s own negligence, and all costs associated therewith, including attorney’s fees, court costs and consultant fees, arising from my participation in training services. This Waiver of Liability & Informed Consent Release shall be legally binding on the Releasing Party. Should the Releasing Party assert a claim to the contrary to what I have agreed to in this Waiver of Liability and Informed Consent Release, the claiming party shall be liable for all expenses (including attorney’s fees, court costs and consultant fees) incurred by both the Releasing Party and the Released Party. No waiver or modification of any provision herein shall be valid unless expressly agreed to in writing by both the Released Party and the Releasing Party.

I understand that any time dogs are exposed to other dogs, there may be a possibility for disease transmission. I have let the trainer know of any health issues that my pet may have or may have recently been exposed to. WHAT-A-CANINE, LLC. will not be held responsible for any disease transmission that may occur on the property of which training is being conducted. This includes (but is not limited to) parks, training facilities, homes, or any other property in which training is being conducted.
