Great Outdoors Dog Academy

GUARANTEES

As members of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), we at Great Outdoors Dog Academy LLC (GODA) cannot ethically guarantee particular behavior outcomes with your dog(s) as our knowledge of the animal’s behavior, environment, and other variables will always, technically, be incomplete.

An ethical dog trainer can help guide and improve your communication with your dog, demonstrate techniques and skills to encourage desired behaviors and manage or phase out undesired behaviors, and motivate you to create a more positive and loving relationship with your dog at home and in high distraction settings.

GODA DOES guarantee you will receive:

AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS and ASSUMPTION OF RISK

incurred as a result of a conducted session, class, sport, or dog related

activity by or on behalf of GODA because some of the dogs to which

the registrant or registrant’s family members, guests and/or dog(s)

Further, the registrant agrees to disclose to the trainer any danger or

sensitivities their dog(s) may present. The registrant will immediately

inform the trainer of any situations that may provoke aggression in

their  dog(s) and be responsible for avoiding those situations.

training session, class, sport, or event conducted by or on behalf of

insurers, and successors harmless from any and all liability, causes

of actions, claims, demands, losses, injuries, and damages of any kind

which may be sustained by them, their family members, guests,

minors and/or dog(s) in connection with any dog training session,

class, sport, or event or any other GODA related activity.
