Liability Release : All Big Canines, LLC will endeavor to create as safe an environment as possible for the training of my dog and will offer only sound, safe, and responsible training and training instructions. However, to the extent that All Big Canines, LLC is insured for any unintentional or negligent errors, omissions, or incorrect assertions, All Big Canines, LLC will be responsible for any such acts or omissions, but only to the extent of such insurance. I have been told by All Big Canines, LLC and understand the inherent risks of owning a dog, including but not limited to the risk of dog bites to myself or others, and consequently, I am and will remain responsible for the actions of my dog at all times, and I hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless All Big Canines, LLC of any and all claims of injury, expense, costs, or damages caused by my dog. I am aware of the risks of communicable diseases among dogs and the risks of under-socialization and how this applies to my dog. I agree to hold All Big Canines LLC harmless of any potential vaccine-preventable or communicable illnesses as a result of engaging in a training class.

Multi Trainer Clause:
I fully understand that while I am active in training classes with All Big Canines, LLC I will not engage in any consultations, training advice, classes, or lessons from any other trainers. If I choose to violate this agreement I will no longer be accepted in classes and there will be no credit toward future training.
Evidence-Based Training Agreement
I fully understand and agree that if I choose to utilize any aversive training tools(electronic, ultra frequency, noise-producing, shock/stim, prong/pinch, choke) I will be removed from the classes. I also understand that evidence-based training requires me to adhere to least invasive minimally aversive (LIMA)outside of classes. This is a commitment to my animal and myself. By using aversion methods outside of class I will be in violation of this agreement and I will be excluded from classes with no credit for any future classes. I will also likely see not just a lack of progress but a high likelihood of fallout from these methods. If I chose to use pain, fear, and intimidation methods outside class and not follow science-based methods All Big Canines LLC will not be responsible for any lack of training and behavior goals or any new behavior problems created by the owner's choice.
