TRAINING EQUIPMENT

7) SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. is authorized to walk the dog outlined in this contract. The client agrees to the use of humane equipment such as head collars or specialized body harnesses. Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. will not use any inhumane training equipment such as sharp pronged or shock collars in the off leash group play environment since the risk of injury is too high with such training tools.

MEDICAL ATTENTION, EMERGENCIES & INJURIES

8) SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. is also authorized to seek any medical attention if deemed absolutely necessary with release from all liabilities related to transportation, treatment and expenses. If the owner/emergency contact cannot be reached in the event of an emergency SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. is authorized to approve medical and/or emergency treatment (excluding euthanasia) as recommended by a veterinarian. The client agrees to reimburse SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. for any expenses incurred attending to this need.

9) In the event of personal emergencies or illness where SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. is unable to perform any scheduled services, SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. will notify the client as promptly as possible.

10) In the case where a dog’s actions result in injury to themselves, Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. cannot be held responsible. This includes, but is not limited to: chewing on/damaging property, jumping on or off or running into standard fixed objects or installments, eating natural substrate off the ground and or ingesting objects (ie. toys, balls) for which they have been given permission to have access to.

11) In the case where a dog’s actions (bite or otherwise) result in the injury of another dog or person, the owner of the offending dog is responsible for all associated costs. A full veterinary invoice for all treatment will be provided for review. If SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. covers the cost of veterinary care, full reimbursement is due upon invoicing. If the owner of the dog that requires medical treatment covers the cost of veterinary care, the owner of the offending dog is required to reimburse them directly. In the event that an official bite/injury report is filed, SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. is required to provide all pertinent customer information to Toronto Animal Services and the OSPCA.

In the case where a dog is injured in a common and/or expected way during every day play, there is no requirement for reimbursement.  By choosing to allow your dog to play in an off leash setting with many other dogs there is an inherent risk of minor injuries like scratches & abrasions, skin irritations, bumps, bruises, etc.

In the case where a dog injures themselves of their own accord during play there is no requirement for reimbursement. Examples of such injuries include but are not limited to:  catching a toe, cracking a nail. pulling a muscle, landing wrong when jumping, smacking tail against a wall, etc.

In the case where a dog is injured purely by accident during play, Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. cannot be held responsible for any costs.  When sending your dog to play off leash in a pack of multiple other dogs there is an inherent / expected risk.  Examples of such injuries include but are not limited to:  Scratches/Cuts/Abrasions caused by the claw or tooth of another dog. These types of injuries are commonplace in off leash environments where dogs are permitted to play directly, off leash with one another in a high energy capacity.

Though it doesn't happen all the time, when you send your dog off leash into any environment with multiple other dogs and allow them to play freely in a high energy way, there is always risk of accidental injury. Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. supervises their dogs during play, but cannot physically control every movement that every dog makes, every second of the day when they are running, chasing, playing, wrestling, etc.  Dogs are live animals and accidents do happen.  If this does not sound like the right environment for you or your dog, we recommend choosing on leash, one-on-one care instead.

OVERNIGHT PERIOD

12) Dogs are supervised at night during the overnight period via Wifi CCTV cameras throughout the building (infrared and motion sensing). Google Nest is used for Smoke and CO2 monitoring. Any damages caused by a dog to the property during the overnight period will be the responsibility of the owner and is subject to charge.

13) The client is responsible for all property damage caused by their dog. Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. will inform the owner of the damage and clearly itemize the costs on the client’s invoice.

14) All dogs will be required to be fully vaccinated. By utilizing services provided by Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. you are stating that your dog has received all of the necessary vaccinations in compliance to the laws governing the location of service.

TEMPERAMENT

15) All dogs must be safe and fit for a group environment. By utilizing services provided by Soulmutts Toronto Ltd. you are stating that your dog does not display aggressive behavior, has not ever bitten or caused bodily harm to another dog or person in the past. Socially unfit dogs who display heightened social anxiety, heightened separation anxiety, destructive social anxiety, destructive separation anxiety and/or fear aggression are not fit for a high energy, off leash, group play environment. As we can only assess the specific behaviour that we witness during the mandatory Meet and Greet, this contract serves as a written statement of confirmation by the signer that none of the aforementioned conditions exist.

IMPORTANT

16) SOULMUTTS TORONTO LTD. reserves the right to terminate this contract at any time without notice, reason or penalty.

Pack leaders are responsible for playing with the group, cleaning up after dogs, engaging physically with dogs, taking pictures of dogs as a part of their daily duties and responsibilities. Dogs who will cause injury to themselves and/or other dogs if they are not under constant eyes on supervision are not fit for high energy, off leash, group play. (See Clause 10)
