Use of the Bark Parks

1. Bark Parks are booked at your own risk. By booking a Bark Park, you accept all risks inherent to a dog playing outside and you assume all responsibility for your dog and anything that happens to your dog whilst using a Bark Park. 
2. Despite careful and proper preparation by Dogs Go, when dogs are playing outdoors and off lead, there is a risk of serious injury, including death to the dog, it’s owner, handler or other persons or animals. By booking the Bark Park you accept this risk. 
3. Dogs Go makes no claim that Bark Parks including Splash and Dash and Mellow Meadow and Pawgility nor Adventure Acres are escape proof or totally secure. Despite careful preparation by Dogs Go, it is impossible to guarantee that Bark Parks are totally secure. 
4. By using the Bark Parks, you accept all risks, including but not limited to:
   • The propensity of any dog to behave in a dangerous way, dangerous to itself, it’s owner, another handler  or another animal.
   • The inexperience, negligence or irresponsibility of an owner or handler 
   • The inability to predict a dog’s reaction to movement, sounds, persons or other animal.
   • Natural reactions such as jumping, pulling, resisting or biting
   • Inclement weather 
   • Slips and falls 
   • Premises defects, including holes dug by dogs or holes in fencing caused by animals, or holes or damage caused by acts of vandalism. 
   • Equipment failure (our play equipment is for dogs, not children or adults) 
   • All other circumstances inherent to dogs and/or outdoor activities.
5. Parking is available on hard standing only. Do not attempt to drive on anything that isn't hard standing - your car will get stuck. We do not own a tractor to help you. 
6. If you choose to bring children to the Bark Park®, please ensure that your children are supervised and under your control at all time.

7.    All equipment, play items, logs and the natural pool in the Bark Park® are for the sole use of dogs.They are not to be used, nor are they safe for use, by adults and/or children.

   8.   The Bark Park® contains uneven ground and, at times, holes dug by dogs, each of which can  present trip hazards.

   9.   Whilst Dogs Go makes every effort to maintain the security of our site, due to the nature of the Bark Park®, we cannot guarantee that your dog(s) could not find a means of escape.

   10.   Further risks with dog parks (including the Bark Park®) include:

   a) the possibility that a dog may behave in a dangerous way and the fact that it can be     difficult to predict a dog’s reaction to movement, sounds, persons or other animals;

   b) other dog owners/handlers may be inexperienced or act in a negligent or            irresponsible manner;

   c) the dangers presented by dogs’ natural behaviours including jumping, pulling, resisting, biting or running at speed;

   d) any other circumstance inherent to dog activities/outdoor activities.  

   By booking I confirm that in respect of my attendance at the Bark Park® today and on all future occasions:

   • I acknowledge that I have read and fully accept the Bark Park Rules and the Important Information set out above;
   • I acknowledge on behalf of myself/my party/my dog(s) that we enter the Bark Park® at our own risk and agree to release Dogs Go from liability for any claim for injury, damage, loss, costs and/or expenses of whatsoever nature sustained by us as a result of our participation in any activities at the Bark Park® or our presence at the Bark Park®;  
   • I accept sole responsibility for my actions/those of my party/my dog(s).

   This does not affect any of your statutory rights and nothing in this entry form is intended to limit or exclude any liability of Dogs Go that cannot be lawfully limited or excluded.
