  • Format: (000) 000-0000.
  • In the case of a medical emergency, do we have your permission to take your pet to the above listed vet or, if they are closed, an emergency vet. You will be immediately notified, if you do not answer a voicemail will be left.
  • In the event of an emergency that renders the individuals within The Good Steward Training Company unable to provide appropriate care for your dog (such as a medical emergency that puts us in the hospital) our first step will be to seek assistance from our local training partners, either by having them contract to continue care here or in their boarding facility. Do you give permission for us to do this? You will be contacted prior to the transfer of care, and given all information about the individuals providing the care.
  • If our training partner is not available to take over care, how would you like us to proceed?

  • We will do our best to replicate your pup's home experience. For their safety, we may find it necessary to utilize a crate or pen for part of their stay. For example, if they are being unusually destructive, if they are moved inside the main house during a storm). Do we have your permission to utilize a crate or pen for your pup if necessary? You will be provided with photos of the pen or crate set up.
  • Canine Information

    Please fill out the questions below to help us tailor some of the training and social experiences we are excited to offer your pup while they are with us!
  • During your pup's stay, we may utilize other trained, non-aggressive dogs as "helpers" for training sessions. This would occur using a physical barrier such as a leash or fence. Do we have your permission to perform this kind of training?
  • During your pup's stay, we may have other trained, non-aggressive dogs with whom they can interact. Any play or off-leash interaction occurs only after a gradual introduction and thorough assessment of their compatibility. Any interaction, on or off leash, is always actively supervised by a minimum of two adults with professional training. Do we have your permission to provide social interactions for your dog including but not limited to group walks or playtime?
  • During dog/dog interactions, especially with pups learning social skills, small injuries can occur. These are often very shallow nicks from a tooth or nail. Play can also result in tripping or colliding, causing tenderness to joints. This risk is present in all physical activity, but may be more so during play. Do you understand this inherent risk and still approve of playtime for your pup if appropriate?
  • During your pup's stay, we may find it is beneficial to take them off our property for training or enrichment. This will most often occur in our neighborhood, but could also take place at a local park. All precautions will be used to ensure your dog is appropriately secured, remains safe, and enjoys their time. Are you comfortable with us providing these forms of activity or training while your pup is with us?
  • During your pup's stay, we may find it beneficial for them to engage in interactions with other trainers either on or off property. These interactions will always be supervised, and the trainers will only be permitted to engage with your pup if they follow not only our ethos of welfare-driven training but agree to any rules or instructions we provide them. These would either be social interactions, or opportunities for other trainers to help us generalize your pup's new skills (learn to do them for other people). Are you comfortable with us allowing other individuals to engage with your pup during their stay?
  • During some training, it may be beneficial or necessary to utilize a muzzle for safety. This is most often only utilized for aggression cases with risk of significant harm to others. Please select below to help us make the decisions during our training that will provide comfort for you and your dog:
  • Final Agreements

  • Media (photos of videos) of my dog taken during training can be utilized by the Good Steward Training Company on their social media platforms, website, and in educational or presentational materials.
  • I understand and acknowledge that The Good Steward Training Company will do their best to make notable progress towards the specific discussed goals for my dog, but because of the dynamic nature of behavior they cannot make any guarantee regarding the outcome of any training/counseling program. Further, I understand that the long-term success of any training program depends on my commitment to applying the knowledge and skills provided to me.
  • In the case of an emergency including but not limited to extreme weather or illness of the care staff, I have alternative housing and care that can be provided to my pup (ex: a vet, an approved boarding facility, a friend or family member).
  • I agree, as the legal guardian of the animal(s) listed on this form, to assume financial responsibility for medical fees including but not limited to vet visits, medicine, or procedures. The payment of these fees will be covered by The Good Steward Training Company only if the medical need was caused by clear negligence.
  • I understand that stress, physiology, reasonable accidents, and genetics may impact the overall health of an animal. The Good Steward Training Company, its owners, and its employees will be held liable for illness, injury, death, sickness, or damage in relation to the above animal only while it is in their care and if there is evidence of neglect or harmful intent.
  • I understand that The Good Steward Training Company schedules out their services, sometimes up to a month in advance. Because of this, should I elect to bring my pup home from the program earlier than planned, they may not be able to fill the spaces I have vacated, meaning they will not be able to replace that income. If I elect to bring my pup home prior to the half-way point of their scheduled program, The Good Steward Training Company will not be expected to refund me more than 50% of my payment. If I elect to bring them home earlier than scheduled, but after the half-way point of the program, there is no expectation of a refund. (The Good Steward Training Company will always advocate for an animal's welfare. If we believe they are unable to adjust to this environment resulting in an unhealthy level of stress, we will notify you and will assist you in seeking the best possible option for them including but not limited to returning home for exclusively in-home training, alternative housing during your time away, or temporary use of vet prescribed medication. We will do this regardless of the refund it may require on our part. If you have any concerns about your animals well-being while they are with us, please share this with us right away!).
