Trainer, its agents, owners, trainers and/or anyone acting on Trainer’s behalf, makes no representation, warranty, or guaranty of improvement to the dog’s behavior or demeanor, and assumes no responsibility or liability for any unwanted change in demeanor or nature of the dog’s behavior during or subsequent to the prescribed course of training.

OWNER: Owner does hereby hire Trainer for dog-training services to Owner and Owner’s dog/s specified above, for the sum and under the terms specified above.

Owner understands that numerous factors outside the control of Trainer may prevent the dog from retaining the training it receives, and may otherwise interfere with and/or sabotage the best efforts of Trainer to train the dog and owner, including but not limited to the environment in which the dog is kept, the manner in which the dog is treated or used, and the personality of the dog.

Owner expressly agrees to and hereby RELEASES and holds Trainer, its owners, trainers, and agents acting on Trainer’s behalf, harmless with respect to any and all liabilities arising out of the training provided to you and your dog by virtue of participation in the training course including, but not limited to the following: lack of results from the training provided, change in the dog’s personality, property damage, bodily injuries to you, the dog, or any other animals or individuals.

Owner understands and agrees to pay the full amount of the program if Owner fails to complete the course for any reason, and there shall be no refund of any money previously paid.

Owner represents that he/she is the legal Owner of the dog described above, that the dog is free and clear of any mortgage or other encumbrance, that the dog has not been exposed to rabies, distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza or parvovirus within the past thirty (30) days, and that the dog has up-to-date vaccinations as shown above.

However, Owner agrees LAURIN FULTON TRAINING INC. has no liability for loss or damage to the dog or the Owners property resulting from fire, disease, illness, virus, escape, theft, death, or other unavoidable causes. If the dog shows evidence of a medical problem while under the care and control of LAURIN FULTON TRAINING INC., LAURIN FULTON TRAINING INC. shall have the right to take such measures as are deemed necessary, without being liable to Owner, for the health and safety of the dog, including the right to administer medication or obtain an evaluation of treatment by a veterinarian of LAURIN FULTON TRAINING INC.’s choice.
