I certify that my dog is in good health and has not been exposed to or exhibited symptoms of any contagious illness within the past 30 days. I understand and agree that I may be required to pick up my dog from training or leave the training area, should he or she exhibit any signs of illness.
I am responsible for the outcome of my dog. I further agree to read all materials provided by the trainers (including group class rules, homework, etc.) and follow directions to help ensure safe and successful training. Sit Means Sit promises no guarantees for success, because the success is dependent on my willingness and ability to follow through.

Scheduling: All training sessions are scheduled by appointment and Customer is responsible for contacting Sit Means Sit to schedule such sessions. RESCHEDULING MUST BE DONE AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE LESSON (48 hours for weekend appointments) or Sit Means Sit may charge Customer a $25 cancellation fee. Additionally, please understand that due to the large number of customers our trainers see each day, and their desire to provide the best training possible, our scheduled appointment times start at the scheduled time and end at the scheduled time.
Force Majeure: In case of force majeure, Sit Means Sit is not obliged to fulfill our obligations. In that case, we may either suspend our obligations for the duration of state of force majeure or definitely repudiate this Agreement.
Events of force majeure are all circumstances external to our will and control that render the respect of our obligations completely or partly impossible. Such events include, but are not limited to, strikes, fire, disruption of energy supplies or telecommunications networks or communication systems and, inability to process payment, acts of God or other third party obligations.
Indemnification / Liability: Customer is responsible for the control, conduct and training of the dog. Customer is solely liable for any injury to persons or damage to property caused by the dog except which may arise from the gross negligence or intentional and willful misconduct of Trainer. Customer agrees that although trainer can provide equipment and instruction for the training of the dog, the trainer does not maintain control of the dog, and Customer is responsible for the successful training, control and conduct of the dog at all times during private and group training sessions. Customer is also responsible for dog outside of training and Sit Means Sit makes no claims of when a dog can or should not be off-leash. Customer expressly agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sit Means Sit, its officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers and assigns for any claim arising out of or incident to Customer’s participation in the program, including and without limitation the payment of attorney’s and/or veterinary fees and costs. Any minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times during training and group class. If for some reason the minor is not being supervised, the parent or guardian is still responsible for their actions during training.
If the dog is aggressive, Customer understands the dog will not be able to interact with other dogs during any socialization that might occur. There are no guarantees that aggression will disappear with training, so it is the owner’s responsibility to muzzle the dog and keep the dog out of potential problem situations at all times, not just during the training sessions.
I understand that all dogs are trained by Sit Means Sit without liability on its part for loss or damage by or from disease, death, running away, theft, fire, or injury to persons, other dogs, or property by or to said dog(s).
