I have read, understand, and acknowledged TAILS ON TRAILS terms and conditions and waiver by submitting this form. By reading, understanding, and acknowledging the terms and conditions and waiver and proceeding into an agreement and schedule of care with TAILS ON TRAILS I affirm that I understand the inherent risks and hazards associated with the nature of off leash dog hiking and TAILS ON TRAILS services. These risks also include, but are not limited to risks associated with picking up my dog, dropping off my dog, traveling to and from my home in a vehicle, having my dog around other dogs, people, wildlife, and outdoor environments. TAILS ON TRAILS will take reasonable action to minimize these risks, but I understand it is not always possible to prevent injuries that may occur during off leash walks in outdoor environments. I, as the dog owner, am fully responsible for the actions of my dog if it causes any damage whatsoever, including, but not limited to, death, damage or injury to itself, or death, damage or injury to other animals, pets, people and property while in the care of TAILS ON TRAILS. 

I affirm that I have provided all necessary information to TAILS ON TRAILS and through consultation deem that my dog is suitable to be in the care of TAILS ON TRAILS. I also affirm that I have not witnessed my dog display aggressive tendencies towards people or other animals in the past, or if so, have identified this in my submitted client contact form and/or during consultation. My dog is obedient and capable of following commands, is well behaved and has reliable recall even in distracting environments. 

I agree to immediately advise TAILS ON TRAILS of any problems with my dog that could affect his/her behavior, health, or suitability for off leash pack hikes. 

In the event of any illness or injury to my dog while in the care of TAILS ON TRAILS, I authorize TAILS ON TRAILS to take my dog to the nearest veterinarian and agree to pay for all veterinary care required in the opinion of the veterinarian. 

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless TAILS ON TRAILS against loss or threatened loss or expense by reason of the liability or potential liability of my dog for or arising out of any claims for  damages. This includes, but is not limited to, medical attention to people, emergency or veterinary care (including acts of nature, encounters with wild animals, etc.), any damages caused by acts of aggression (biting, attacks, etc.), or any injury caused by my dog toward property, animals and people while in the care of TAILS ON TRAILS. Additionally, any costs associated with the above actions will be wholly reimbursed to TAILS ON TRAILS upon request. 

I affirm that my dog is spayed or neutered and up to date with the vaccinations. I understand that regular vaccinations cannot completely guard against illness and disease, and that TAILS ON TRAILS cannot prevent, nor be responsible for any illness my dog might contract. TAILS ON TRAILS shall not be liable for any illness or ailment which a dog may incur while in the presence of other dogs in TAILS ON TRAILS care. 

I hereby waive and release TAILS ON TRAILS from any and all claims, actions, suits, demands, assessments or judgments asserted and any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and accounting fees to the extent permitted by law) alleged or incurred arising out of or relating to any operations. 

My submission of the above consultation form confirms that I have completely read, understand and acknowledged TAILS ON TRAILS terms and conditions, and completed the TAILS ON TRAILS client information form and understand and agree to all of the terms outlined.
