***DISCLAIMER***
INJURY & ILLNESS
Just like people and children, it is difficult to avoid any injury and/or illness when exposed to others. Dogs may contract an illness from another dog exposed to while out hiking, or they may get hurt while playing in the woods. It is the walker/operator's responsibility to avoid hazards that may result in injury or illness to the dogs, but not everything can be avoided. Every dog owner takes some risk when their dog(s) are exposed to other dogs, especially off-leash and on mountain trails. As walker/operator, I take many precautions and try to keep my dog packs as close to me as possible & safe, but they do have moments of playing in the woods, and running up to greet other dogs and people, and other dogs may react poorly. Clients will be held responsible for necessary medical care for their dog(s), unless obvious neglect on walker/operator's part is determined. (Please see client contract for additional details)
