Description of Services:
I understand the consultant will work directly with me and/or on line for private training, with my pet to impart contemporary animal behavior knowledge that best fits our needs, and that successful companion pet programs depend on a combination of learned skills on the part of the pet and owner. Behavior is not static; an animal will not continue to perform even trained behaviors without ongoing practice. Especially in cases involving any type of aggression, although behavior may be modified, the dog is never considered "cured". A pet's behavior is ultimately the owner's responsibility. Consultant will make every reasonable effort to help us attain goals but makes no guarantees of performance on the part of client or pet as a result of providing professional animal behavior consultation.
Client acknowledges that obedience training/behavior modification may be an activity in which damage or injury to dog(s) and/or persons may occur. Client will assume full financial/moral responsibility for the actions of their dog(s). Client further acknowledges that dogs(s) may be exposed to a variety of environmental conditions which include, but are not limited to, vehicular travel, interaction with people and other animals, exposure to adverse weather, and exposure to areas with crowds and all types of traffic.
I/We client agree that consultant, my/our heirs, assignees and legal representatives will not make claim against, sue, or attach the property of Consultant, her family, acquaintances, or any other person acting on her behalf (herein referred to as "her agents"), for injury or damage done to or by dog(s) resulting from action or negligence, however caused, by consultant or her agents. I/We client, and my/our heirs assignees and legal representatives may have or may here after have for injury or damage to or by dog(s) and assume all risks there of.
Client and consultant here by agree to mediate and or arbitrate any misunderstandings that may arise pursuant to the terms contained herein. In any action or proceeding arising our of this agreement , the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs and legal fees. This contract for training supersedes all other agreements, written or oral, previously made between client and consultant. By clicking on the "running wolf", and reading this agreement, you have agreed to this binding contract.
