- Client agrees to pay Trainer a nonrefundable fee in the amount of $1000.00 for a board and train (length of 21 days) to be paid upon the first day of training. The total cost being $1350.00.
Services: Trainer agrees to provide boarding and training for the Dog on a daily basis at trainer’s home, including a session with the client inside of the 21 day board and train period, a session the day the Dog is returned, and a session within 30 days after the Dog has gone home (to be scheduled at the end of training per the owner’s availability), the goal being to teach the Client how to train and work with the Dog. The Trainer will make every reasonable effort to help the Client achieve training and behavior modification goals but makes no guarantee of the Dog’s performance or behavior as a result of providing professional animal behavior consultation. The Client understands that he/she and members of the household must follow the Trainer’s instructions without modification, work with dog daily as recommended, and constantly reinforce training being given to the Dog.
Policies: The dog will undergo an evaluation trial period of 5 days during their stay with us. If, at any time in that period, the trainer decides the program is not a good fit for the dog, the owner will receive a full-refund minus a training/evaluation fee of $70/day. If the owner wishes the dog returned before the program is completed, the dog will be promptly returned with no follow-up, no guarantee and no refund. If the remainder of the fee has not been collected at this point, the owner will be charged $70/day for the length of time the dog has been boarded.
If the owner cannot be reached upon completion of the program, it will be assumed that the dog has been abandoned. The dog will be sold or impounded 10 days after written notification to the owner. If the owner is not able to take the dog on the scheduled return date, i.e. out of town, illness, yard repair, etc… a boarding fee of $35/day will apply from that date until the dog is returned.

This Agreement is binding upon Client, spouse of Client, and children of Client. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions, representations, warranties and agreements of the parties, and expresses the entire agreement between Client and Trainer regarding the matters described above. The parties confirm that, except for that which is specifically written in this Agreement, no promises, representations or oral understandings have been made with regard to the Dog or anything else. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Client acknowledges that the Trainer has not represented, promised, guaranteed or warranted that the Dog will never bite, that the Dog will not be dangerous or vicious in the future, that the Dog will not exhibit other behavioral problems, or that the results of the training will last for any particular amount of time. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by both Client and Trainer.
Drop-off/Pick-up Agreement
Board and Train dogs will be picked up & dropped off by the client unless other arrangements have been made.
All Board & Train programs include 4 1/2 hours of private training at our facility. The 4 1/2 hours typically works out to: (1) 90-minute mid-training session; (1) 90-minute pick-up training session; and (2) 90-minute follow-up training sessions.
At the mid- and pick-up sessions, we will go over all that your dog has learned and work with you on how to start implementing the training into your daily life.
Follow-up lessons are provided to help ease the transition of your dog back into your home and to help you maintain the high standard for behavior we have at our facility.
When bringing your dog for a Board and Train, all we need is your dog’s food and any medication your dog needs, including flea/tick and/or heart worm (only if they need to be given to your dog while your dog is with us.)
Do NOT bring any bedding, toys, water/food bowls, treats or bones!
When dropping off your dog at our facility, you will need to stick to the exact time that we agreed upon. We are a working kennel so the staff are busy working dogs in between appointments. Therefore, we pull staff off of training to meet and greet you to make sure your dog gets onto the property safe and securely.
Upon arrival, your dog must be on a leash/collar setup from which they cannot slip out of when going from your car to our property and during the hand-off to the staff member. Your dog may be nervous, scared or excited and any of those things can lead to your dog escaping the collar and running off or around the property, which is a safety issue for the dog, the staff and other dogs on the property.
When you arrive, you will hand off the dog to a staff member. You are NOT to hug, kiss, bend down or use a high-pitch voice at all. Instead, please just hand off the leash to the staff member. Not following these instructions can jeopardize the safety of the staff member.
Physical Activity Agreement
Your dog will be staying at a working kennel and not living in a padded room. Your dog spends a good amount of time in the outside world doing lots of things around lots of natural objects, dirt, grass, cement, trees, fencing, bushes, swimming, interacting with lots of other dogs, and humans. It is likely that your dog is going to get scratched, bumped, or bruised. Your dog will most likely get some wear and tear on him/her. Imagine going to summer camp for a few weeks. You get a little banged up from all of the activities. Things are bound to happen even though we have taken special care in designing our facility and maintaining a high standard of safety and cleanliness.
As Owner, you acknowledge and understand that there are certain risks involved in pet training, boarding, and care. You release, indemnify, and agree to hold Okay Lady K-9 Training, L.L.C. harmless from any and all manner of damages, claims, loss, liabilities, costs or expenses, causes of actions or suits, whatsoever in law or equity, (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and related costs) arising out of or related to the services provided by Okay Lady D-9 Training, L.L.C..
