Dog Park Waiver and Release When this Waiver & Release refers to your dog, my dog, or the owner of a dog, it includes you whether or not you are the legal owner of the dog since you are the person responsible for the dog while using Schaumburg K-9 Park. Warning of Risk Dog activities are intended to provide a fun and rewarding experience for a dog and its owner/ handler. However, despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury, including death to the dog, its owner/handler or other persons or animals. Dogs are pack animals and when off lead, 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 you, another person or dog. Other risks include, but are not limited to, the inexperience, negligence or irresponsibility of a dog owner/handler; the inability to predict a dog s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons, or other animals; and actions by the dog 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, slips and falls, premises defects, equipment failure, failure of instruction/ supervision, and all other circumstances inherent to dog and/or outside activities. Should you attempt to break up a dog fight or restrain a dog, including but not limited to your dog, you may be attacked and severely mauled by your dog, the other dog or attacked by another dog s owner/ handler. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for Schaumburg Park District to guarantee absolute safety. Waiver and Release of All Claims and Indemnification Agreement Please read this form carefully and be aware that in consideration for permission to use Schaumburg K-9 Park, you will be expressly assuming the risk and legal liability and waiving and releasing all claims for injuries, damages or loss which you or your dog might sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with and associated with use of Schaumburg K-9 Park and surrounding area.
