I, the undersigned (the "Participant"), hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily enrolled in dog training, private consultations, workshops or other related activities (the "Courses") offered by Pursuing Pawgress, LLC, Successful Tails, LLC and/or Won Love Dog Training, LLC (the "Businesses"). The Businesses will exercise all necessary and proper care and precautions to keep safe all participants and dogs during the Courses in order to prevent injury to any person, property, other dog or person. By signing this document, I certify that I understand that there is always some unavoidable risk of injury when working with animals and that the Businesses cannot protect against every potential injury, risk or accident. I acknowledge that a dog can be inherently difficult to control and that not all dogs will be under control at all times, resulting in the possibility of injury to myself, my dog, my family members or third parties.
Additionally, I acknowledge that I have had full opportunity to discuss any and all concerns I have regarding the foregoing risks with the Businesses and their authorized representatives. This Release and Waiver are intended to shift the risk of participating in dog training to the Participant/Owner/Guardian of the dog participating in training.
I hereby agree to hold harmless the Businesses from any and all claims of injury, loss, cost, expenses, or damage caused by the actions of Participant's dog during the Courses, or under the care, custody or control of the Businesses. I hereby accept and assume, without reservation, all risks associated with my participation in the training program, including, but not limited to: the risks of any and all injuries to myself, my dog and any of my family members or third parties who may attend; the risks that my dog may cause injury to other persons and/or dogs involved; and the risks that saliva, water, food, and/or other debris may be present in the training area.
As lawful consideration for participating in the Courses, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns (the "Releasing Party"), hereby waive, release, discharge and agree not to sue and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Businesses and their members, managers, agents, and employees (the "Released Party") from any and all injuries, losses, claims and damages to any person or persons of any nature its directors, officers, employees, agents, sponsors, organizers, volunteers or other representatives, their successors and/or assigns, (hereinafter collectively the "Releases") from any and all liability to the Undersigned for any loss, harm, damage, claim, injury or accident to the person or property of the Undersigned, whether caused by any ordinary negligent act or omission of the Releases while the Undersigned or the Undersigned's dog is engaged in or participating in the Courses or using any Trainer or Business facilities in connection therewith.
This Waiver of Liability shall be legally binding on the Releasing Party. Further, Should the Releasing Party assert a claim to the contrary to what I have agreed to in this Waiver of Liability, the claiming party shall be liable for all expenses (including attorney's fees, court costs and consultant fees) incurred by both the Releasing Party and the Released Party. No waiver or modification of any provision herein shall be valid unless expressly agreed to in writing by both the Released Party and the Releasing Party.
Every provision herein is intended to be severable. If any one or more of the provisions herein is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that shall not affect the other terms and provisions hereof, which shall remain binding and enforceable. This foregoing release and waiver, and assumption of risk is intended to be as expansive, broad and inclusive as permitted by Florida law.
