AGREEMENT TO RELEASE AND WAIVE LIABILITY HOLD HARMLESS, INDEMNIFY AND ASSUME RISK OF INJURY OF LOSS

I understand that my attendance in a dog event is not without risk to myself, my dog, other family members or guests, and other class participants (human or canine).  These include, without limitation, risks of physical injury, mental injury, emotional distress, trauma, death, contact with other participants and their dogs and property damage.  All risks are known and appreciated by me.  I waive any and all specific notice of the existence of the risks.  I shall assume and pay my medical and emergency expenses in the event of injury, illness, or other incapacity regardless of whether I authorized such expenses.

I agree that I, as owner of the above dog, am solely responsible for the animal’s behavior and physical control and agree to carefully monitor and control my dog at all times.

By reading, signing and dating this document, I hereby waive and release Sandra Carbonell, Instructor and Owner of Pawsitive Training Zone, Emily McVeigh Cinotto of BlueWolf Photos and/or owners of the premises, KinDer Holdings LLC, which the event is being held, and/or its employees, agents and volunteers of said owners from any all damages, losses, fines, claims, suites, expenses (including attorney fees and defense costs), judgments, and/or liabilities of any form or nature resulting from any act or omission of any dog or dog owner participating in classes, training sessions, open training or other events.

This release of liability includes, but is not limited to, any injury, death, sickness, or personal injury or property damage my pet or I may suffer while on or around the premises where the training is held.  This release also includes specifically, but without limitation any and all forms of personal injury (including death) and property damage to myself, other persons, and other animals resulting from the act or omissions of any and all dogs or dog owners, and I expressly assume the risk of such damages or injuries and losses throughout the duration of the training curriculum.

I also agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sandra Carbonell, Instructor and Owner of Pawsitive Training Zone, Photographer Emily McVeigh Cinotto and/or owners of all premises, KinDer Holdings LLC, on which this event is being held, and/or employees, agents and volunteers of said owners from any and all claims, suits, losses, damages, expenses (including attorney fees and defense costs), judgments, fines, penalties, and/or liabilities, due to any forms of personal injury (including death), property which my pet or I may cause, or be alleged to have caused, to any person, animal, or property while on or around the premises where the training sessions are carried out, or in connection with the training services provided by Sandra Carbonell or Emily McVeigh Cinotto.

This Agreement to Release and Waive Liability, Hold Harmless, Indemnify and Assume Risk of Injury or Loss shall survive the completion or termination of dog training services by Sandra Carbonell, Emily McVeigh Cinotto and Pawsitive Training Zone.  This agreement is an integrated agreement which supersedes any prior, contemporaneous oral or written agreements or negotiations.

This agreement may not be modified except through a written agreement signed by the dog owner and Sandra Carbonell or Emily McVeigh Cinotto.
