I understand that while this is the standard method to teach dogs snake avoidance, results may vary. I further acknowledge that the training provided is in no way a guarantee that my dog(s) will avoid snakes encounters in the future and could be injured or killed in the event of snakebite. Subsequent refresher training is recommended and sometimes required. I agree to carefully follow directions given by the dog trainers, snake handlers and volunteers to avoid accidents. I agree to constrain my pet properly on a leash or in a kennel while on location for the training to avoid property damage or conflict with other dogs, training snakes or surrounding areas. I agree to hold harmless any and all parties sponsoring or participating in this training clinic in the unlikely event of personal property damages or bodily injury to humans or dogs that may occur before, during or after the training.
