DOG(S) INFORMATION

NOTICE OF RISK AND ACCEPTANCE

Participation in dog sports and water-based activities, including dock diving, swimming, and training, involves inherent and unavoidable risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, bodily injury, illness, property damage, drowning, dog bites, scratches, allergic reactions, and slips or falls.

By entering the property or participating in any way—whether actively, as an observer, guest, or minor—you fully accept all associated risks, and agree to the terms outlined in this release and the facility rules.

DEFINITION OF RELEASEES

For this agreement, the term “Releasees” refers to: Country Road Canines, LLC, Triple Play Dog Sports, and all associated individuals and entities, including but not limited to their owners, officers, employees, independent trainers, agents, volunteers, and property owners. This also includes any representatives or affiliates involved in the operations, maintenance, or facilitation of services on the property.

PARTICIPATION AND ACCESS TERMS

I understand and agree that Country Road Canines, LLC and Triple Play Dog Sports, along with their staff, owners, volunteers, independent trainers, and the property owner(s), retain the right to deny access to the property or services at any time, for any reason deemed necessary, including but not limited to:

• Health concerns (dog or human)

• Safety risks

• Behavioral concerns

• Non-compliance with rules or instructions

This right applies to participants, handlers, guests, and spectators alike. Access to restricted zones—including the dock, pool, training field, and staff-only areas—is prohibited without the approval of the property owner. Entry onto the property implies complete agreement to this waiver and all facility policies.

MINOR PARTICIPATION POLICY

Children under the age of 15 are not allowed on the dock or in the pool under any circumstances. Children ages 15 to 18 may only participate as a handler if:

• They have prior swimming experience

• They have been approved by an instructor

• They attend the Intro to Dock Diving orientation with a parent or legal guardian

Minors who meet the above criteria and are approved will be designated as a Triple Play Dog Sports Jr. Handler.

Parent or Guardian Waiver for Minors: If the participant is under 18, I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor. I understand the nature and risks of canine and aquatic activities, believe the minor is qualified to participate, and take full responsibility. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any claims arising from the minor’s participation, including all costs and legal fees.

ORIENTATION REQUIREMENT

Before using the dock or pool, all handlers and dogs must complete the required Intro to Dock Diving Orientation. This session includes:

• Safe entry and exit procedures

• Emergency protocols

• Rules for the dock and pool area
