Pavlov Dog Training, INC | 207.200.1152 | www.pavlovdogtraining.com
I, the Releasing Party and the undersigned, have enrolled myself and my dog in dog training classes, private consultations, workshops or other related activities offered by Pavlov Dog Training, INC (PDT), The Released Party.
By signing hereunder, I certify that I have been informed and understand that there is always some unavoidable risk of injury involved when working with animals, especially animals with behavioral issues. I acknowledge that dogs 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. I hereby accept and assume, without reservation, all risks associated with my participation in the classes, 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 while training.
As lawful consideration for participating in the classes, I, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns hereby waive, release, discharge and agree not to sue and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (PDT) and their members, managers, agents, and employees from any and all injuries, losses, claims and damages to any person or persons of any nature whatsoever, including claims arising from the Released Party’s own negligence, and all costs associated therewith, including attorney’s fees, court costs and consultant fees, arising from my participation in the Classes.
This Waiver of Liability & Informed Consent Release shall be legally binding on the Releasing Party. Should the Releasing Party assert a claim to the contrary to what has been agreed to in this Waiver of Liability and Informed Consent Release, 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.
Refund Policy
No refunds will be issued for group classes and monthly memberships within two weeks prior to class beginning.
Client Responsibilities
Clients are responsible for keeping their dog tethered, under control, and at a distance from other dogs unless permitted otherwise.
Terms and Conditions
PDT cannot make any guarantee regarding the outcome of any training / counseling program.
Termination of Training
A percentage of dogs do not thrive in group classes. This may be due to genetic dispositions, personality types, biological challenges, etcetera. If your trainer feels the dog is not benefiting from the group class environment, that will be communicated. In that situation PDT will discuss alternative options for the dog, and potentially refer to another program or dog trainer with resources that may better suit the dog’s needs. If that is the case, PDT will issue a refund for remaining classes.
The client or PDT may terminate training at any time, for any reason. If the client terminates training prematurely, s/he may do so. Forfeited classes will not be refunded. If PDT terminates training prematurely, PDT may refund unused remaining sessions, should PDT deem it fair and equitable.
This contract applies to any future training services purchased by the client from Pavlov Dog Training.
