1. Acceptance of Terms

By booking a service with The Liberated K9, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. These terms apply to all services provided, including private training, group classes, consultations, and virtual sessions.

2. Services Provided

The Liberated K9 provides dog training and behavioral support services. All training is designed to promote effective communication between you and your dog using positive, balanced, and ethical training methods. The Liberated K9 commits to providing professional guidance, but ultimate success depends on the owner’s continued practice and involvement.

3. Client Responsibilities

As the dog owner, you agree to:

Follow through on training recommendations and exercises provided.
Notify the trainer of any changes in your dog’s behavior or health.
Ensure your dog is up-to-date on vaccinations.
Accept liability for any injury or damage caused by your dog during sessions.

4. Payment and Cancellation Policy

Payment is due at the time of booking or prior to the start of each session unless otherwise agreed.
Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged in full.
No-shows or same-day cancellations will be charged the full session fee.
Refunds are issued at the discretion of The Liberated K9 and typically not available after services are rendered.

5. Training Outcomes and Disclaimers

While The Liberated K9 will make every reasonable effort to help improve your dog’s behavior, no guarantees are made regarding outcomes. Each dog is an individual, and progress depends on consistency, reinforcement, environment, and the owner’s participation.

The Liberated K9 is not liable for any injuries, losses, or damages arising from the use or misuse of training techniques or failure to follow advice.

6. Health and Safety

Please do not bring your dog to training sessions if they are sick, aggressive without prior disclosure, or have been exposed to contagious diseases. The Liberated K9 reserves the right to refuse service if safety is at risk.

7. Photography and Media

With your consent, The Liberated K9 may photograph or record training sessions for promotional or educational use (form will be sent to you during onboarding).

8. Confidentiality

All personal information and case details will be kept confidential and not shared without your consent, except as required by law. See our Privacy Policy for more information.

9. Intellectual Property

All training materials provided (handouts, videos, email content) are the intellectual property of The Liberated K9. You may not copy, distribute, or share them without permission.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington. Any disputes will be resolved in the appropriate courts located in King County.

11. Satisfaction and Guarantee

While we stand by our training methods, we do not guarantee specific outcomes. Dogs are living beings with their own temperaments and histories. Ongoing progress depends on continued client engagement.

12. Indemnification

By participating in training services with The Liberated K9, the client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Liberated K9, its owners, trainers, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses—including legal fees—arising out of or in connection with the actions, behavior, or health of their dog before, during, or after training services.

This includes, but is not limited to, injury or damage to any person, animal, or property caused by the client’s dog, as well as failure to follow training instructions or safety guidelines provided by The Liberated K9.

The client assumes full responsibility for their dog’s behavior and understands that while training can reduce the risk of behavioral issues, no guarantees can be made regarding outcomes.
