The above referenced dog (“Dogs”) shall be boarded or otherwise handled or cared for by Esther Parker (“Trainer”) and staff, without liability to Trainer, or those hired by Trainer, for loss or damage from disease, death, escape, theft, injury to persons, injury to other animals, damage to property, or any unavoidable causes by the Dogs. Trainer will exercise due and reasonable care while the Dogs are in her care/custody.
I hereby release and agree to save and hold harmless Esther Parker, any affiliates or property owners from any and all liability, claims, suits, actions, loss, injury or damage of any nature or kind, or for any liability, claims, suits, actions, loss, injury or damage which I or my dog(s) may sustain or which may be caused in any way by my dog(s). I specifically, without limitation, agree to fully indemnify Esther Parker, any affiliates or property owners for any and all such liability, claims, suits, actions, losses, injury or damage.
As owner/agent of the Dogs, I hereby authorize Trainer to obtain any medical or surgical treatment required while in Trainer’s care/custody. My regular vet is the one stated on the Info Sheet. If veterinary treatment is necessary during the Dogs stay with Trainer, Trainer may use my regular vet or a vet known and trusted by Trainer, with every effort made to contact my regular vet with any pertinent medical history. If Dog is diagnosed with any condition which may be contagious, Trainer may board dog at vet in isolation if warranted. Trainer will also make every effort to reach owner as soon as possible to communicate any incident or medical problem that may occur. I will be solely responsible for any and all reasonable costs incurred for treatment of the Dogs. I also agree to hold the vet, vet hospital, and/or Trainer harmless.
I represent that I am the legal owner of the Dogs or the legal owner’s agent. I also represent that to the best of my knowledge the Dogs have not been exposed to distemper, enteritis (diarrhea), parainfluenza (kennel cough), parvo virus, canine flu or any other communicable diseases within the past 30 days. I also represent to the best of my knowledge that there has been no coughing, sneezing, discharge from the eyes, or diarrhea within the past 14 days.
I understand that if dogs present with any of these symptoms while in Trainer’s care, Trainer reserves the right to send dog home or to be boarded elsewhere till Trainer feels it safe for the dog to return.
I guarantee payment for boarding or board and training, plus any extras at the time Trainer receives the Dogs. Trainer may require a non-refundable deposit of up to 50% at time of reservation. Any extras incurred during boarding must be paid when dog is returned to owner. If for any reason the bill is not paid when presented, I will be responsible for all costs that Trainer incurs in her endeavor to collect payment in addition to the amount of the bill. Outstanding balances will be charged at 10% interest per week.
If the Dogs are not called for within 15 days of planned pick-up, the Dogs become the property of Trainer. Reasonable attempts will be made by Trainer to collect outstanding monies owed and to return the Dogs to owner or other responsible party. Final notice will be by certified/registered mail to the owner at the address given. No further notice shall be required. Failure to respond to such final notice within 10 days of receipt may result in the Dogs being euthanized if deemed appropriate by Trainer due to behavioral or other circumstances.
When dogs play together sometimes unintentional injuries result from the play such as bites, scratches, etc. I understand that, while boarding with Trainer, the Dogs will spend “playtime” with other Dogs, and I hereby release Trainer/Property Owner from liability for any injuries that may occur.
I understand that at least 48 hours is required for cancellation. If cancellation is less than 48 hours before the time Dogs are scheduled to be received by Trainer, Trainer may require a cancellation fee of up to 50% of reserved boarding cost. At holiday times (specified by Trainer), 72 hour notice is required.
I understand that dog training is a cumulative process throughout a dog’s life. Results of training can vary depending on each individual dog and are subject to Owner follow through.
I understand that if I don’t follow through with training protocols laid out by Trainer that I may/will see diminished returns on training results and therefore am not entitled to any refund partial in part or full.
If any training issues arise after training, I agree to notify Trainer as soon as they present via phone or in person so Trainer can troubleshoot issue to the best of Trainer’s ability.
I have discussed the tools used by Trainer and have authorized Trainer to use the following if needed at Trainer’s discretion. Including but not limited to: Crates/Kennels, Food, Flat collars, Martingale Collars, Slip Leads, Head collar, Prong Collars, Remote Electric Collars, Bark Collars, Muzzles etc.
