Description
Every dog professional faces risks. A client’s dog could bite a person, injure another dog, cause damage during transport, or need emergency veterinary care. Even with the best training and safety practices, accidents happen — and without the right paperwork, you could find yourself facing a costly lawsuit.
The Combo Waiver & Release is a single, easy-to-use document that combines the most important legal protections into one form. Instead of juggling multiple waivers, you can have clients sign this comprehensive agreement at the start of your relationship. It covers:
- Dog behavior & assumption of risk – Clients acknowledge dogs can act unpredictably and accept responsibility for their own dog’s actions.
- Release of liability – Protects you and your business from claims tied to injuries, accidents, or damages.
- Veterinary care authorization – Allows you to seek emergency treatment and clarifies who pays for care.
- Transportation waiver – Covers car rides to training, boarding, daycare, or vet visits.
- Facility use rules – Clients accept responsibility while on your premises.
- Media release – Permits use of photos and videos for training records or marketing.
This product comes in both PDF and DOCX formats. The PDF preserves the legal language exactly, while the DOCX file allows you to customize details like your company name, services, or facility rules.
The Combo Waiver & Release is designed for dog trainers, walkers, sitters, and kennel operators, but can be adapted for other canine professionals. You are free to modify details to suit your business, but do not omit the legal boilerplate. If something seems unclear, review it with your attorney to ensure the strongest protection.
With this single form, you can set clear expectations, show professionalism to your clients, and significantly reduce the risk of disputes and lawsuits.
