Class participants grant the absolute right and permission to copyright, use, re-use, publish, and republish videos, photographic portraits or pictures of me (signature below), and /or my pets, and/or my children, including those under 18 years of age, taken during animal behavior consultations, training sessions, classes, and in relation to other animal-behavior contexts.

Dogs showing signs of reactivity or aggression (barking, lunging, biting, etc.) towards other dogs or humans will first be evaluated. As per the evaluation, they may be required to attend private sessions before being allowed into group classes.

If aggression toward people or dogs does occur during class, WSH reserves the right, in their sole discretion to immediately remove your dog from the class for everyone’s safety. Credit for unused sessions shall be applied to private training, unless it is determined by Sit Happens, that continued training would present a risk to trainer, Sit Happens employees or others. After one-on-one work, dogs may be able to safely join group classes at the discretion of Sit Happens.

To keep our members and trainers safe, we require the full disclosure of any bite history, attempted bites and similar incidents or hazardous tendencies of your pet prior to enrollment.

Any harm caused by aggressive behavior will be the dog owner’s responsibility.  Dog owner agrees to indemnify and hold Sit Happens harmless against and from any and all claims, damages, costs and expenses, arising from dog owner failing to disclose any relevant history or from any act or negligence on behalf of dog owner.

Dog owner understands that Sit Happens will make all efforts to achieve the desired results regarding your dog.  There may be certain “homework” and training outside of Sit Happens instruction that will be the responsibility of dog owner.  Sit Happens can make no guarantee of dog’s behavior or progress of desired behavior.
