By signing this waiver, I acknowledge that I understand this Training Class presents a certain risk to me, my family and/or guests who may attend classes with me, and to my dog. This is so, even though the dogs present in the class, may be properly screened and handled by the owners and/or class teachers during the class sessions. I hereby waive, release and hold harmless, the Providers their officers, employees, owners, members and agents from any injury or damage resulting from the action of any dog in the class. I expressly assume the risk of injury or property damage while attending any training session or while on the training grounds or the areas surrounding the facility.

I also agree to abide by the policies of the Providers as listed below:
