Empire K9 Training Agreement

By booking a session with Empire K9 Training, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms and conditions:

1. Lesson Provision

Empire K9 Training provides private dog training lessons on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule. Each package must be used within three months of purchase and is non-refundable. The goal is to teach clients how to effectively train and work with their dogs.

2. Lesson Locations

Lessons take place at the client’s home or a local park. While the trainer will make every reasonable effort to help achieve training and behavior modification goals, no guarantees are made regarding the dog’s future behavior or performance.

3. Client Responsibilities

Clients must follow the trainer’s instructions, practice regularly with their dog, and reinforce training techniques between sessions.

4. Cancellation Policy

Clients must provide at least 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a session. Missed sessions or cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will be charged in full. For package deals, a missed session will count as one of the package sessions.

5. Weather-Related Cancellations

Outdoor sessions may be rescheduled due to inclement weather, including extreme heat or rain, for the dog’s safety. Clients are responsible for rescheduling their session using their package code.

6. Liability Waiver

Clients assume full responsibility for any injuries or property damage caused by their dog to any person, animal, or property. Clients agree to indemnify and hold Empire K9 Training and its trainers harmless from any claims, losses, or expenses arising from the dog’s behavior during or after training. The trainer is not responsible for injuries or damages caused by the dog.

7. Trainer’s Right to Terminate Services

The trainer reserves the right to discontinue services if:

• The dog is deemed dangerous to the trainer, other animals, or people.

• The client fails to comply with the terms of this agreement.

If services are terminated, all other provisions of this agreement remain in effect.

8. Agreement Scope

This agreement is binding upon the client, their spouse, and their children. It supersedes all prior discussions and represents the entire agreement between the parties.

9. No Guarantees

• Training results will last indefinitely without continued reinforcement.

10. Amendments

This agreement may only be modified in writing and acknowledged by both parties.

11. Photo & Video Release
