Liability Waiver

I, {name}, have enrolled myself and my dog in dog training classes, private consultations, workshops or other related activities offered by Communicanine Behavior Modification,LLC. The Released Party.

I understand and agree that Trainer does not offer free evaluations or consultations and that the first visit is considered session #1 of program or class. I agree and understand that a “no-show” for a scheduled appointment will be counted as a lesson. I further understand and agree that a program may include admission to classes only when the program is paid in full and that the classes have no cash-out value. I also understand that refunds will not be available after the first training session is completed regardless of the situation. I further understand that lesson duration is determined by the trainer at the time of service and that time spent during the session discussing my dog, dog training and/or behavior is considered training/lesson time. I further understand and agree that if my dog is aggressive it can be prohibited from attending Trainer sessions.

I agree, understand, and acknowledge that the elimination or modification of behaviors is not guaranteed. The Owner acknowledges that dog training will not provide exact results. Each dog is different regarding ability, breeding, and temperament. Owner further agrees to accept responsibility for any damages the above-named dog may cause through malicious, aggressive or improper behavior that may occur before, during, or after all services provided by Trainer. Furthermore, Owner understands and agrees that dog training may involve risks to Owner, members of Owner’s family, or Dog. I assume all risks associated with participating in this training and will not hold Trainer or its instructors responsible in the event of injury to Owner, Owner’s family member or Dog. I agree to comply with the instructions, rules and decisions of the training instructor as it relates to Owner or Dog’s ability to safely complete each training session. I also agree to assume all responsibility for any damage done to property, persons, or other dogs done by Owner or Dog’s actions.

I agree and understand that the above-named dog participating in the training sessions is free of any infectious disease and is current on all appropriate vaccinations, including Bordetella, distemper, parvovirus and rabies. I also understand that a Health Certificate must be provided before above named dog may participate in any training sessions. I also understand that all dogs enrolled in the training sessions must receive monthly preventative treatments for the control of fleas. If live fleas are found on dog, we will apply a topical product or give an oral treatment at owner’s expense.

I understand, Trainer can use my pet’s photograph(s) and/or video(s) taken during training sessions for educational and promotional purposes in any type of media.

I hereby agree and covenant for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and anyone else who may claim on my behalf to waive, release and discharge Trainer and its instructors from any and all claims arising out of or in connection with or in any way related to these training sessions.

Social Media: Owner hereby agrees to and allows Trainer to photograph, video and use images of Owner’s dog for publication and/or promotion. Owner irrevocably grants Trainer the right to distribute, transmit, publish, copy, or otherwise exploit, either in whole or in part, either digitally or in any other medium now known or later discovered, any photographs and or videos of Owner’s dog and/or Owner on Trainer’s website, blog, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and/or any other internet medium commonly referred to as “social media”.

Cancellation Policy:

This Agreement shall be enforced and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. If Owner is required to bring a lawsuit to enforce any provision of this Agreement it shall be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fee in connection with the action.
