WAIVER AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND AGREEMENT TO HOLD HARMLESS

I understand that attendance of a dog training class is not without risk to myself, members of my family or guests who may attend, or my dog, because some of the dogs to which I (we) will be exposed may be difficult to control and may be the cause of injury even when handled with the greatest amount of care.

I hereby waive and release Obedience Club of San Diego County Inc. (hereafter referred to as “the Club”) from any and all liability of any nature, for injury or damage which I or my dog may suffer, including specifically, but not without limitation, any injury while attending any training session or other function of the Club, or while on the training grounds or the surrounding areas thereto.

In consideration of, and as inducement to, the acceptance of my application for training membership in this obedience training class, I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Club, its Members and Trainers, from any and all claims, or claims by any member of my family, or any other person accompanying me to any training session or function of the Club, or while on the grounds or the surrounding areas thereto, as a result of any action by any dog, including my own.

I understand that it is my personal responsibility to maintain control of any dog in my care and custody while attending any training class or other function of the Club. Any injuries that my dog inflicts on another person or dog are my responsibility.

I fully attest to the best of my knowledge that I do not have COVID-19 at the time of attending this event/class/practice. I also attest that I have NOT been in contact with or exposed to any known carrier of COVID-19 within the past 15 days. I will not attend classes/events/practice if I or my dog am ill and contagious or possibly contagious.

I will follow all AKC and OCSDC event/practice rules and requirements to reduce any exposure and possibility of contracting or spreading the virus. I will also fully cooperate with any City, County, or State guidelines that have jurisdiction in the area in which the event/practice is taking place. I fully submit that the OCSDC, the American Kennel Club, the venue, any workers, any volunteers, any sponsors, or any instructors, are in no way liable for any present or future COVID-19 exposure incurred at any time by any person, in attendance or not in attendance, during or after this event/class/practice.
