Agreement to Hold Harmless Waiver and Assumption of Risk
 
I understand that attendance at a dog obedience/agility training class or club related events is not without risk to myself, members of my family, guests who might attend, or to my dog, because some of the dogs to which I will be exposed may be difficult to control and may be the cause of injury even when handled with the greatest of care.  
I hereby waive and release Y2K9s Dog Training Club, hereinafter referred to as the "Club", its employees, officers, members, directors, and agents from any and all liability of any nature for injury or damage which I or my dog may suffer, including, specifically but without limitation, any injury or damage resulting from the action of any dog. * I expressly assume the risk of damage or injury while attending any training session, or any other function, of the Club, or while on the training grounds or the surrounding area thereto.  
In consideration of and as inducement to my entry to and use of Y2K9s premises and facilities, I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless this training Club, its employees, officers, members, directors, and agents from any and all claims, or claims by any member of a family or any other person accompanying me to any training session or function of the Club, or while on the grounds or the surrounding area thereto, as a result of any action by any dog, including my own.
By participating in classes or events at Y2K9s, I understand that both I and/or my dog(s) will be working with, exposed to or otherwise be in the presence of other dogs.  I understand that Y2K9s, its Board of Directors, officers, members, and/or its instructors do not warrant or otherwise insure my safety or the safety of my dog during events, classes or periods proceeding or following events or classes hosted by Y2K9s.
In the event that either my dog or I are injured by another dog prior to, during or following an event hosted by Y2K9s, I agree to hold harmless Y2K9s, its Board of Directors, officers, members and instructors for any injury suffered or sustained by me and/or my dog(s).
I understand that this hold harmless agreement is a condition of my participation at Y2K9s classes and/or events and is part of the consideration exchanged between Y2K9s and me for the privilege of participating in events and/or classes at Y2K9s.
* This waiver and release includes injury or damages arising in whole or in part from COVID-19. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and some cases death. By signing this waiver I voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.
