RELEASE
K9 Home Schooling
In consideration of my admission to
training classes or participation in phone consultations, behavior
consultations and/or private training, I release K9 Home Schooling, Michelle
McCarthy and its agents from any actions, claims, or demands for any personal
injury to myself or dog or property damage which may arise out of my
participation in these dog training services.. The
safety of the Student's dog and individuals the dog has contact with (during
and after training) is the responsibility of the Student and not the
Trainer. The Student understands there are inherent risks to
training dogs and entering a class environment with other dogs. The
Student assumes all risks to themselves, their children, their guests, their
dog and their property. The Student understands that children under the age of
12 will not be allowed to attend Group Classes.
The Student also understands that children over 12 years of age must be
supervised by a Parent at all times. The Student will indemnify and hold
harmless K9 Home Schooling, Michelle McCarthy, it’s agents and building tenants
against any physical harm or property loss/damage during and after training is
completed.
The Trainer, K9 Home Schooling, Michelle
McCarthy, and its agents do not accept responsibility for lack of progress in
the dog’s training, as there are too many variables in the home environment
beyond the Trainer’s control. If a
student’s dog is ill, lame or in heat, Student should attend class without
their dog. Refunds are not given within
7 days of the start of class. Refunds
are not given for class sessions not attended by Student and/or their dog The Trainer, K9 Home Schooling, Michelle McCarthy, and its
agents are not obligated to give private sessions, in-home training or behavior consultations to the student for
missed classes or for dogs that have behavior problems in class. If it
is determined by the Trainer,
K9 Home Schooling, Michelle McCarthy, and its agents that your dog is not able to attend class due
to a behavior problem (excessive
barking, growling, biting, fearfulness, aggression towards humans or other dogs
) or health problem, the handler may audit the remaining classes without their
dog, but a refund will not be given. If
the Student chooses to remove their dog from classes for any reason, the Student
may audit the remaining classes without their dog, but a refund will not be
issued. The Trainer, K9 Home Schooling,
Michelle McCarthy, and its agents reserve the right to remove a student and dog
from class if deemed necessary.
Students must ask permission to video
tape classes, private lessons and behavior consultations. .
No matter how well trained a dog is,
they may act unpredictable in new or threatening situations. Children should never be left unsupervised
with a dog. While in public, dogs must
be kept on leash under the Student’s control.
The dog should be current with its vaccinations, have pet
identification, and licenses where applicable.
The Hold Harmless Agreement shall remain in effect for the duration of
this course, phone consultation, private training and after, as well as be
applicable for future classes or training sessions with K9 Home Schooling. I, give permission to K9 Home Schooling and
Michelle McCarthy to discuss, if necessary, my dog’s behavior or health problem with my Veterinarian and/or
Clinic staff.
