You must understand that you are participating in this activity at your own risk (and risk of your dog(s). You are solely responsible for determining if you and/or your dog(s) are physically (or temperamentally) fit and/or adequately skilled to use the Dog Park. It is always advisable, especially if you or your dog(s) is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician or veterinarian before using the Dog Park. WARNING OF RISK Dog activities are intended to provide a fun and rewarding experience for a dog(s) and its owner. However, despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury, including death to either the dog(s) or its owner. Dogs are pack animals and when off leash, even the best-trained dogs will act instinctively. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers associated with dog activities can be foreseen. Certain inherent risks include the propensity of any dog to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury to another patron or dog(s). Other risks include, but are not limited to the inexperience, negligence or irresponsibility of a dog owner; the inability to predict a dog s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons, or other animals; and actions by the dog(s) due to fright, anger, stress, insect bites, or natural reactions such as jumping, pulling, resisting and biting. Other risks include the hazards associated with environmental and traffic conditions, acts of God, inclement weather, slipping, falling, premises defects, failure in instruction and or supervision, and all other circumstances inherent to dog and outdoor activities. Should you attempt to break up a fight between dogs, you may be attacked and severely mauled by the other dog(s) or even attacked by the other patron. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Boardman Park to guarantee absolute safety.
