I'm curious if this language is common for training classes? I'm sure it is, but I wanted to check with folks with more experience.

Thanks!

What seems odd to me is that is says they are absolved of guilt even when the trainer is negligent.
I think I signed something about understanding that my dog could be injured by the other dogs but not that my dog could be injured by the trainer.

If someone is negligent to the point where it causes an injury, a Judge will ignore any waivers.

Their point is that, waivers notwithstanding, u were negligent. Therefore u are at fault.

So sign it. In the end, it means nothing.

Waivers can say anything and you have to sign to take the class. I board a horse and I was asked to sign nothing. On the other hand, just to ride a friend's horse, my friend wanted me (or anyone) to sign a two-page waiver. I signed and the ride went fine.

Thanks for the feedback. I looked at some other contracts and they were all very similar. The part that gives me pause is the "negligence of the trainer." The class is limited to 5 dogs, so hopefully the small number of participants and our exercising some common sense will result in an uneventful series of classes.

I'm new to obedience training and I've taken alot of classes recently. They were all very uneventful and great, good fun!
