• Animal bites, tripping, collisions, or fights.

• Actions of other dogs, clients, or guests.

Client accepts all risks of illness, injury, loss, theft, pregnancy, or unwanted behaviors in the Dog, except for problems caused intentionally or recklessly by Trainer.

The Client acknowledges that this waiver is intended to ensure that the Dog Trainer and their staff are fully protected and compensated for any harm caused by the Client's dog, regardless of any inherent risks associated with dog training.
