ACCIDENT/INJURY/LIABILITY WAIVER & MEDIA RELEASE

I understand that Certified Canine Strength and Conditioning Coaches (CSCCs) design "strength training" programs for healthy dogs and/or may perform exercises with students’ dogs – or teach students training techniques to perform exercises specifically directed and/or approved by their veterinarian. CSCCs may also design strength and body awareness programs for client dogs without the direction or approval from a veterinarian.

Jenna Saint Louis (hereafter "the trainer") does not design rehabilitation programs to help dogs recover from previous injury or any issues causing abnormalities in my dog. I understand the trainer cannot diagnose or treat injury. Participating in strength balance and flexibility exercises is at my own risk and could make my dog's undiagnosed or diagnosed soft tissue or other injury worse. If my dog has had a previous injury, I should seek advice from a veterinarian and get a written veterinary release before participating in a strength training program, workshops or lessons.

I understand that strength, balance and flexibility training for my dog with or without inflatable balance products is a trial process in which we need to see how my dog responds to each exercise. All exercise plans could cause injury if not performed correctly, slowly, and with correct posture and body position. I will not hold the the trainer responsible if my dog gets hurt while performing exercises designed by her or while completing exercises taught in a workshop, private lesson, or group class.

I, recognize, acknowledge, understand and agree that a dog training, dog practice session and/or dog exercise are not without risk of harm, injury or damage to myself, members of my family, my guests, my dogs, other dogs and others who may be in attendance.

I understand it is my responsibility to ensure that my dog has the appropriate fitness and health level to participate in activities. It is my responsibility to ensure that my dog has any needed veterinary or medical approvals before engaging or authorizing the trainer to engage in such activities. It my responsibility to advocate for my dog and I am participating in canine strength, balance and flexibility training at my own risk (or that of my dog). While participating in a strength training program, if my dog shows signs of weakness, a previous injury resurfaces or injury occurs, I will stop immediately and seek veterinary advice.

I hereby agree to indemnify and hold the trainer harmless from any and all claims made by me or any member of my family or any other person in the area while training, instructing, providing hand-on assistance or engaging in any dog- related activities or general activities as a result of any action by any dog, including my own, and for any other reason. I hereby discharge and release the trainer of and from all liability, actions, causes of action, suits, accounts, contracts, damages and any and all claims, demands from the action, conduct, injury or behavior of my dog or any other dog.
