4. Services Provided

4.1 Nature of the Services

K9 Fitness provides individualized canine fitness and exercise sessions using non-motorized canine slat mills and other fitness activities designed to promote physical conditioning, cardiovascular health, endurance, confidence, weight management, and overall physical and well-being.

Each session is tailored to the individual Dog’s age, physical condition, experience, temperament, fitness level, and exercise goals. Session intensity, duration, and activities may be adjusted at any time based on the K9 Fitness Coach's observations and professional judgment regarding the Dog’s comfort, safety, and willingness to participate.

4.2 Exercise Services Only

The Services provided by K9 Fitness are limited to canine fitness and exercise.

K9 Fitness does not provide veterinary medicine, veterinary rehabilitation, physical rehabilitation, behavioral therapy, medical diagnosis, medical treatment, or any other licensed veterinary or healthcare Services. Nothing provided during a session should be interpreted as veterinary advice or as a substitute for examination, diagnosis, or treatment by a licensed veterinarian.

Owners remain solely responsible for obtaining appropriate veterinary care for their dog before, during, and after participation in the Services.

4.3 Individualized Training

Every dog responds differently to exercise. K9 Fitness does not follow a standardized workout program. Instead, each session is customized based on the Dog’s individual needs, conditioning, confidence, behavior, and progress over time.

The K9 Fitness Coach may modify, shorten, pause, or discontinue any exercise activity whenever the K9 Fitness Coach reasonably determines that doing so is appropriate for the safety or well-being of the Dog.

4.4 Positive Exercise Philosophy

K9 Fitness strives to create a safe, encouraging, and positive experience for every dog. Exercise sessions are intended to build confidence while promoting healthy physical activity.

K9 Fitness does not use exercise methods intended to force a dog beyond its physical or emotional limits. Rest breaks may be provided whenever appropriate, and the Company reserves the right to discontinue any session if continued participation is determined to be unsafe or not in the Dog’s best interest.

4.5 No Guarantee of Results

Because every dog is unique, K9 Fitness cannot guarantee any particular outcome or result from participation in the Services.

While many dogs experience improvements in fitness, endurance, body condition, confidence, behavior, or overall well-being, individual results depend upon numerous factors, including the Dog’s health, age, genetics, temperament, consistency of exercise, nutrition, veterinary care, and participation in activities outside of K9 Fitness.

4.6 Service Area

Services are provided at locations approved by K9 Fitness within the Company's service area. The Company reserves the right to decline, reschedule, or discontinue Services if a location is determined to be unsafe, inaccessible, outside the service area, or otherwise unsuitable for providing Services safely. Nothing in this Agreement obligates K9 Fitness to provide Services at any location where the Company reasonably believes safe operation cannot be maintained.

5. Eligibility to Participate

Participation in K9 Fitness Services is conditioned upon the Owner's continued satisfaction of the eligibility requirements set forth in this Section. By scheduling or participating in the Services, the Owner represents and warrants that each of the following statements is true, complete, and accurate to the best of the Owner's knowledge.

5.1 Authority

The Owner represents, acknowledges, and agrees that they are at least eighteen (18) years of age and are the legal Owner of the dog or are otherwise authorized by the legal Owner to enroll the dog in K9 Fitness Services and to enter into this Agreement.

5.2 Health of the Dog

The Owner represents that, to the best of their knowledge, the dog is healthy enough to participate in supervised physical exercise and has not been diagnosed with, or is not currently exhibiting, any illness, injury, or medical condition that would make participation unsafe unless such condition has been disclosed to K9 Fitness in advance and participation has been approved by the Dog’s licensed veterinarian.

The Owner further agrees to notify K9 Fitness of any changes to the Dog’s health, medications, physical condition, or exercise restrictions before each scheduled session

5.3 Veterinary Care

The Owner represents that the dog is under the care of a licensed veterinarian and has received appropriate preventive veterinary care.

The Owner further represents that the dog is current on all vaccinations required by applicable law and on those vaccinations recommended by the Dog’s veterinarian based on the Dog’s age, lifestyle, and health.

The Owner further represents that they have not been advised by a licensed veterinarian that the dog should avoid vigorous exercise or that participation in the Services would be medically inappropriate.

5.4 Behavior

The Owner agrees to disclose any known behavioral concerns that could affect the safety of the dog, the K9 Fitness Coach, or others, including but not limited to aggression, fearfulness, resource guarding, bite history, escape tendencies, anxiety, or sensitivity to handling, Equipment, unfamiliar people, or new environments.

Disclosure of a behavioral concern does not automatically disqualify a dog from participation. K9 Fitness will evaluate each dog individually to determine whether Services can be provided safely.

5.5 Accurate Information

The Owner agrees that all information provided to K9 Fitness, including information contained in the Dog Fitness Profile and any future updates, is complete and accurate to the best of the Owner's knowledge.

The Owner understands that K9 Fitness relies upon this information in determining whether and how Services should be provided. Failure to provide accurate or complete information may affect the Company's ability to provide Services safely.

The Owner agrees to promptly update K9 Fitness whenever previously provided information becomes inaccurate or incomplete.

5.6 Right to Request Additional Information

K9 Fitness reserves the right to request additional information, veterinary documentation, or clarification regarding a Dog’s medical condition, behavioral history, or exercise limitations before providing or continuing Services whenever the Company reasonably determines such information is necessary for the safety and well-being of the dog or others. Failure to provide requested information may result in the postponement, modification, or refusal of Services until the requested information has been received and reviewed by K9 Fitness.

6. Assumption of Risk

6.1 Acknowledgment of Inherent Risks

The Owner understands and acknowledges that participation in canine fitness and exercise activities involves inherent risks that cannot be completely eliminated, even when reasonable care is exercised.

Although K9 Fitness is committed to conducting sessions in a safe, controlled, and supervised manner, the Owner understands that dogs are living animals whose behavior, physical responses, and reactions cannot always be predicted.

6.2 Examples of Potential Risks

The Owner understands that participation in the Services may involve risks including, but not limited to:

Muscle soreness, strains, sprains, or soft tissue injuries;
Fatigue or overexertion;
Slips, trips, falls, or loss of footing;
Paw pad irritation or minor abrasions;
Aggravation of pre-existing injuries or medical conditions;
Stress, anxiety, or behavioral reactions;
Equipment-related incidents despite reasonable inspection and maintenance;
Unexpected medical emergencies unrelated to negligence by K9 Fitness; and
Other injuries or conditions that may arise from physical exercise or participation in canine fitness activities.

The Owner understands that this list is intended to provide examples only and is not exhaustive.

6.3 Individual Risk Factors

The Owner acknowledges that every dog is unique and that the likelihood and severity of potential risks may vary based upon factors including, but not limited to, the Dog’s age, breed, size, physical condition, medical history, temperament, conditioning, previous exercise experience, medications, and any undisclosed or unknown medical conditions.

6.4 Voluntary Participation

The Owner voluntarily chooses to enroll the dog in K9 Fitness Services with full knowledge and understanding of the inherent risks associated with physical exercise.

The Owner further acknowledges that participation is voluntary and that they may discontinue Services at any time.

K9 Fitness may reduce, modify, pause, or discontinue any exercise session whenever the K9 Fitness Coach determines that doing so is in the best interest of the Dog’s safety, health, or overall well-being. The Owner understands and agrees that such decisions are made solely to protect the welfare of the dog and do not constitute a failure to provide the Services.

6.5 Assumption of Risk

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner knowingly and voluntarily assumes all ordinary and inherent risks associated with the Dog’s participation in the Services, except to the extent that an injury or loss is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional wrongdoing of K9 Fitness.

7. Owner Responsibilities

The safety and success of each exercise session depend upon cooperation between the Owner and K9 Fitness. The Owner agrees to the following responsibilities throughout the duration of the Services.

7.1 Accurate Information

The Owner agrees to provide complete and accurate information regarding the Dog’s health, behavior, medications, physical limitations, exercise history, and any other information that could affect the safety or suitability of the Services.

The Owner further agrees to promptly notify K9 Fitness of any changes to this information before the next scheduled session.

7.2 Health Changes

The Owner agrees not to allow the dog to participate in a scheduled session if the dog is known or reasonably believed to be ill, injured, recovering from surgery, experiencing unexplained pain, showing signs of contagious illness, or otherwise not fit for physical exercise.

If the Dog’s condition changes before a scheduled appointment, the Owner agrees to notify K9 Fitness as soon as reasonably possible.

7.3 Veterinary Recommendations

The Owner agrees to follow any exercise restrictions or limitations recommended by the Dog’s licensed veterinarian and to communicate those restrictions to K9 Fitness before participation.

7.4 Safe Access to the Dog

The Owner agrees to provide a safe means for the K9 Fitness Coach to access the dog and, when applicable, the property where Services will be provided.

If the Owner will not be present during the appointment, the Owner agrees to provide accurate entry instructions and ensure that the dog can be safely retrieved and returned.

7.5 Equipment and Harnesses

The Owner agrees that the dog will wear an appropriately fitted harness suitable for exercise on the slat mill. If, in the judgment of the K9 Fitness Coach, the Owner's harness is unsafe, improperly fitted, damaged, or otherwise unsuitable, a K9 Fitness Coach may require the use of Company-provided Equipment for the duration of the session.

7.6 Nail Maintenance

The Owner agrees to ensure that the Dog's nails are properly trimmed and maintained prior to each scheduled exercise session. Unless otherwise approved by K9 Fitness, the Owner agrees that the Dog's nails will be trimmed within seven (7) days before each scheduled session.

The Owner understands that excessively long or improperly maintained nails may increase the risk of slipping, torn nails, broken nails, paw injuries, or other injuries during exercise, and may also damage Company equipment.

If, in the reasonable judgment of the K9 Fitness Coach, the Dog's nails are excessively long or otherwise unsuitable for safe participation, K9 Fitness may postpone, modify, shorten, or refuse the session until the condition has been corrected.

The Owner acknowledges and agrees that K9 Fitness shall not be responsible for injuries to the Dog, including but not limited to torn, broken, split, or otherwise damaged nails, or other related injuries resulting from the Owner's failure to properly maintain the Dog's nails as required by this Agreement.

7.7 Cooperation

The Owner agrees to cooperate with reasonable instructions provided by K9 Fitness that are intended to promote the safety, health, and well-being of the dog.

7.8 Emergency Contact Information

The Owner agrees to maintain current emergency contact information and current veterinary contact information on file with K9 Fitness and to promptly update that information whenever changes occur.

8. Emergency Veterinary Care Authorization

8.1 Emergency Authorization

The Owner authorizes K9 Fitness to obtain emergency veterinary care for the dog if, in the reasonable judgment of the K9 Fitness Coach, immediate veterinary attention appears necessary to protect the Dog’s health or safety and the Owner cannot be contacted within a reasonable period of time.

K9 Fitness will make reasonable efforts to contact the Owner using the contact information provided before seeking emergency veterinary care whenever circumstances permit.

If the Owner has identified a preferred emergency contact who is authorized to make decisions regarding the dog, K9 Fitness may also attempt to contact that individual when circumstances reasonably permit.

8.2 Selection of Veterinary Provider

The Owner authorizes K9 Fitness to transport the dog by vehicle to a licensed veterinary facility whenever the K9 Fitness Coach reasonably believes such transportation is necessary to obtain emergency veterinary care.

If the designated veterinarian is unavailable, closed, unwilling or unable to accept the dog, or if time does not reasonably permit, a K9 Fitness Coach may seek treatment from the nearest available licensed veterinary hospital or emergency veterinary facility.

Nothing in this Agreement obligates K9 Fitness to transport the dog to any particular veterinary facility if doing so would, in the reasonable judgment of the K9 Fitness Coach, delay necessary emergency care.

8.3 Financial Responsibility

The Owner agrees to remain solely responsible for all veterinary fees, emergency treatment costs, medications, diagnostic testing, hospitalization, transportation expenses, and any other costs arising from emergency veterinary care obtained on behalf of the dog.

The Owner agrees to reimburse K9 Fitness for any reasonable expenses advanced by the Company in connection with obtaining emergency veterinary treatment.

8.4 No Guarantee of Outcome

The Owner understands that emergency veterinary care may not prevent illness, injury, permanent disability, or death.

K9 Fitness makes no representation or warranty regarding the availability of veterinary Services or the outcome of any veterinary treatment obtained pursuant to this authorization.

8.5 Good Faith Actions

The Owner acknowledges that decisions made by K9 Fitness during an emergency will be based upon the information reasonably available at the time and will be made in good faith with the objective of protecting the Dog’s health and welfare.

The Owner agrees that K9 Fitness shall not be liable for decisions made in good faith while responding to an actual or reasonably suspected medical emergency, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

9.1 Authorization to Enter Property

The Owner authorizes K9 Fitness to enter the property using the access method designated by the Owner, including but not limited to keys, lockboxes, garage codes, keypad codes, smart locks, or other approved methods of entry.

The Owner represents that they have the legal authority to grant such access. The Owner assumes responsibility for obtaining any necessary permission from the property Owner or occupant before authorizing K9 Fitness to enter the property.

9.2 Owner Responsibilities

The Owner agrees to provide accurate entry instructions and to ensure that all access information remains current.

The Owner further agrees to notify K9 Fitness before any scheduled appointment if locks, alarm systems, access codes, entry procedures, or other relevant access information has changed.

9.3 Safe Environment

The Owner agrees to maintain a reasonably safe environment for retrieval and return of the dog.

The Owner agrees to disclose any known hazards that may affect the safety of the K9 Fitness Coach or the dog, including but not limited to construction, unsecured animals, damaged fencing, aggressive pets, unsafe walking surfaces, or other conditions that could reasonably create a risk of injury.

9.4 Retrieval and Return of the Dog

K9 Fitness will exercise reasonable care when retrieving the dog from the Owner's property, escorting the dog to the Company's mobile fitness unit for the scheduled exercise session, supervising the dog throughout the session, and returning the dog to the location designated by the Owner.

The Owner understands that brief periods may occur during retrieval and return when the dog is transitioning between the residence, yard, driveway, or mobile fitness unit.

9.5 Securing the Property

Upon completion of the scheduled Services, K9 Fitness will make reasonable efforts to secure the property in substantially the same manner in which it was found, including locking doors or gates when appropriate based upon the Owner's instructions.

9.6 Limitation of Responsibility

K9 Fitness shall not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from inaccurate entry instructions, malfunctioning locks, alarm systems, gates, keypads, smart locks, or other access devices, nor for circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company.

9.7 Suspension of Services

If K9 Fitness determines that access to the property cannot be obtained safely, that conditions on the property present an unreasonable safety risk, or that the dog cannot be safely retrieved or returned, K9 Fitness may postpone or cancel the scheduled session until the issue has been corrected.

10. Right to Decline, Modify, or Discontinue Services

The safety and well-being of the dog, the K9 Fitness Coach, and others shall always be the Company's highest priority.

Accordingly, K9 Fitness reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion, to decline, postpone, modify, shorten, suspend, or discontinue any scheduled Service whenever the Company believes doing so is necessary to protect the health, safety, or welfare of the dog, the K9 Fitness Coach, or any other person.

Without limiting the foregoing, a K9 Fitness Coach may exercise this authority under circumstances including, but not limited to, the following:

10.1 Health Concerns

If the dog appears ill, injured, excessively fatigued, is recovering from surgery, displays signs of contagious illness, or otherwise appears unfit to safely participate in physical exercise.

If K9 Fitness discovers or reasonably believes that important medical, behavioral, or safety information was omitted or inaccurately disclosed by the Owner and such information may affect the safe provision of the Services.

10.4 Unsafe Property Conditions

If the property, surrounding environment, or access to the dog presents an unreasonable safety risk, including but not limited to unsecured animals, open gates, hazardous walking surfaces, severe weather, construction activity, aggressive persons, or other dangerous conditions.

If the Owner fails to comply with this Agreement, refuses to follow reasonable safety instructions, repeatedly provides inaccurate information, or otherwise interferes with the Company's ability to safely provide the Services.

10.7 Effect of Discontinuing Services

If Services are modified, shortened, postponed, or discontinued pursuant to this Section, K9 Fitness will make reasonable efforts to explain the reason for its decision to the Owner as soon as practicable.

Nothing in this Section shall require K9 Fitness to continue any Service that the Company reasonably believes would compromise safety or the welfare of the dog.

The Owner acknowledges that K9 Fitness would rather postpone or reschedule a session than proceed under conditions that could compromise the safety, health, or well-being of any dog.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Owner agrees that K9 Fitness shall not be liable for injuries, illnesses, losses, damages, or expenses arising out of or relating to the Dog’s participation in the Services when such injuries, illnesses, losses, damages, or expenses result from the inherent risks of canine fitness activities or from circumstances beyond the reasonable control of K9 Fitness.

This limitation includes, but is not limited to, injuries or losses arising from:

the Dog’s normal physical response to exercise;
undisclosed or unknown medical conditions;
inaccurate or incomplete information provided by the Owner;
the Dog’s own actions or behavior;
actions of third parties;
unforeseen medical emergencies;
conditions existing on the Owner's property that were not created by K9 Fitness; or
other inherent risks described in this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to limit or waive liability for conduct that cannot lawfully be limited or waived under applicable law, including liability resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct, or intentional wrongdoing where such limitation is prohibited by law.
