TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Your dog must have basic obedience (sit, stay, come) and good recall. Your dog must be non-aggressive, and well socialized with other dogs and people. Your dog must be current on core vaccines. Flea/Tick treatment and Kennel Cough immunization are all highly recommended. Owners must provide dogs with a collar (and any other accessories--coats, winter booties, etc.--they may need). JUST DAGS is not responsible to replace damaged or lost items mentioned that may go missing or get damaged during walks.
HOME SECURITY & DATA PROTECTION:
If needed, JUST DAGS will keep all keys, remote control entry devices, access codes and personal information of the owner(s) secure and in safe keeping.
COMMUNICATIONS & PRIVACY:
JUST DAGS uses content taken on walks on their website as well as social media via Facebook and Instagram.
You must notify JUST DAGS if you would not like JUST DAGS to use your dog's photos/videos in social media and online.
CANCELLATIONS:
Life happens. If for some reason your dog is unable to make a scheduled hike, there will be no charge as long as JUST DAGS is notified by 8:00pm the evening before. If JUST DAGS is notified the morning of, an attempt to fill your spot will be made, but if a replacement is not found, you will still be charged for the day's hike. If JUST DAGS is NOT notified and/or there is no dog at the pickup location, you will be charged as well.
If unforeseen circumstances arise, including days of extreme heat/cold, where JUST DAGS would have to cancel a walk, any advance payments will be fully refunded.
INCLEMENT WEATHER:
Walks take place rain, shine or snow (dangerous weather excluded). JUST DAGS will attempt to reschedule all walks cancelled due to dangerous weather conditions.
RETURNING DIRTY DOGS:
Due to the nature of off leash walks, dogs can get dirty. After a walk dogs can be wet, dusty, or even muddy, so please be prepared to identify returning entrances during consultation. If your dog doesn't have a designated area, or crating area, please leave a towel near the returning door/mud-room and JUST DAGS will do their best to wipe down your dog upon drop-off.
SAFETY:
JUST DAGS takes the safety of dog clients seriously. If your dog is deemed undisciplined, aggressive, or unresponsive the dog will not be accommodated by our services. If your dog does not exhibit these traits during the consultation, but they arise at a later date, JUST DAGS withholds the option to terminate service immediately.
FLEAS & TICKS:
Ticks and fleas aren't foreign to dogs, particularly off leash in warmer months. JUST DAGS recommends you check your dog regularly for both and requests that you make alternate arrangements to scheduled walks if your dog is being treated so as to avoid spreading to other dogs in the group.
KENNEL COUGH:
Kennel Cough is a Canine flu, if your dog is starting to cough, please let JUST DAGS know immediately.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURE:
JUST DAGS carries a mobile phone for emergencies and is always equipped with a first aid kit and satellite SOS device. If your dog is lost or seriously hurt the protocol is as follows:
a) Contact owner/emergency contact listed on dog/owner info sheet.
b) Contact backup support if needed for help with other dogs.
c) Attempt to locate the missing dog, or if injured, transport the dog to the nearest Veterinarian if able to get the dog to the vehicle safely.
OFF-LEASH WALKS WAIVER:
By reading, understanding, and acknowledging the terms and conditions and waiver and proceeding into an agreement and schedule of care with JUST DAGS I affirm that I understand the inherent risks and hazards associated with the nature of off leash dog walking and JUST DAGS’ services. These risks also include, but are not limited to risks associated with picking up my dog, dropping off my dog, traveling to and from my home in a vehicle, having my dog around other dogs, people, wildlife, and outdoor environments. JUST DAGS will take reasonable action to minimize these risks, but I understand it is not always possible to prevent injuries and illnesses that may occur during off leash walks in outdoor environments.
I, as the dog owner, am fully responsible for the actions of my dog if it causes any damage whatsoever, including, but not limited to, death, damage or injury to itself, or death, damage or injury to other animals, pets, people and property while in the care of JUST DAGS.
In the event of serious illness or injury to my dog while in the care of JUST DAGS and neither myself nor the other emergency contact listed cannot be reached, I authorize JUST DAGS to take my dog to the nearest veterinarian and agree to pay for all veterinary care required in the opinion of the veterinarian.
I affirm that I have provided all necessary information to JUST DAGS and through consultation deem that my dog is suitable to be in the care of JUST DAGS. I also affirm that I have not witnessed my dog display aggressive tendencies towards people or other animals in the past, or if so, have identified this in my submitted client sign-up form and/or during consultation. I agree to immediately advise JUST DAGS of any problems with my dog that could affect his/her behavior, health, or suitability for off leash pack walks.
My submission of this form confirms that I have completely read, understand and acknowledged JUST DAGS' Terms, Conditions and Waiver and understand and agree to all of the terms outlined.
