1776 K9 Services Agreement
1. SERVICES PROVIDED
The client enrolls the canine identified above in 1776 Canine Services' Board and Train Program for the dates listed. Services may include obedience foundations, leash skills, engagement, manners, crate or kennel routines, confidence building, appropriate social exposure, and behavior support as discussed with the client. Training is adjusted to the canine's age, health, temperament, experience, and individual needs.
2. CARE, HEALTH & CLIENT DISCLOSURE
1776 Canine Services will provide reasonable daily care, food and water as directed, suitable rest and exercise, safe accommodations, supervised training, and observation of the canine's general condition. The client will provide food, medications with written instructions, veterinary information, and agreed supplies.
The client must disclose all known medical conditions, allergies, medications, bite history, aggression, reactivity, fear triggers, resource guarding, escape behavior, and other relevant concerns. The client will provide current vaccination and veterinary records and report changes in the canine's health.
3. VETERINARY CARE AUTHORIZATION
If illness or injury occurs, the trainer will make reasonable efforts to contact the client or emergency contact. If prompt care is reasonably necessary and the client cannot be reached, the client authorizes 1776 Canine Services to seek veterinary evaluation or treatment. The client is responsible for veterinary and related expenses, except to the extent caused by the trainer's negligence or other liability that cannot legally be excluded.
4. TRAINING EXPECTATIONS
Training results vary based on the canine's individual characteristics and the owner's continued practice. No specific result, permanent behavior change, off-leash reliability, or complete obedience is guaranteed. Training introduces or strengthens skills; ongoing consistency and reinforcement at home are essential.
5. PICKUP & OWNER INSTRUCTION
At pickup, the trainer will review the skills addressed, handling techniques, equipment, and recommendations for continued practice. The client agrees to participate in the transfer session and follow safety and training guidance. Skills require ongoing reinforcement after the canine returns home.
6. FEES & PAYMENT
Program fee, deposit, remaining balance, additional agreed charges, payment method, and payment due dates will be established separately between the client and 1776 K9 Services.
Additional services or charges require client approval, except emergency veterinary care described above.
7. CANCELLATION & PICKUP TERMS
Cancellation notice, deposit and refund terms, early pickup or interruption terms, and any late pickup fee or grace period will be established separately between the client and 1776 K9 Services.
8. RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT & RESPONSIBILITY
The client understands that boarding, handling, exercise, training, and animal interaction involve inherent risks, including illness, injury, stress, escape, and unpredictable animal behavior. 1776 Canine Services will use reasonable care and appropriate safety practices. Nothing in this agreement releases a party from liability for negligence, willful misconduct, or responsibility that cannot legally be waived.
9. PHOTO / VIDEO PERMISSION
Training images may be used for private progress documentation. Promotional or public use requires the client's permission below.
