What people write to Attorney Phillips...
Dear Mr. Phillips, Your website is a "blessing". Thank you. It helps to be able to educate myself on the issues. My neighbors wife was attacked; and, by coincidence, my city, Jasper, Al is in the early process of adopting "some kind" of dog control code.
After reading the statistics of attacks especially children attacks. I find myself on a "crusade" to help the city find and adopt the best codes possible.

Avoiding Liability When You Train, Shelter or Adopt-Out
The legal documents that trainers, adoption groups and rescue groups need to keep out of legal trouble and get your medical bills paid if you get hurt. $99.50
Approx. 260 meg
There are many problems that trainers, adoption groups and rescues have in common. They include people getting hurt on the premises, accidents caused by the proximity of dogs and guests, medical expenses for injuries to trainers, and fights between dogs that result in injuries to the dogs themselves.
The legal documents in this package can greatly help in these situations. They consist of a Training Agreement, Adoption Agreement, Waiver for Entry on Premises, Bailment Agreement for Surrender of Dog, and Policy and Procedures for Observing and Reporting Problems with Dogs.
This download contains not only the documents you need, but also a video of Mr. Phillips' 90-minute seminar. Here's what one trainer said about it:
"I have your video and have updated my contract accordingly. So much information, but the actual work of updating my contracts was very, very easy. You are right, trainers really don't know. All the seminars, conference, books and videos that are geared toward trainers do not mention the things you talk about. Scary to think how much I didn't know before your video!"
Special Problems Facing Adoption and Rescue Groups
One of the most important problems facing adoption and rescue groups is how to avoid sending vicious dogs back onto the streets, and how to avoid liability for a dog that bites its new owner. This has become a matter of greater and greater public interest, and is of high importance to the adoption and rescue groups as a whole. Every year, there are more and more cases against such organizations for injuries inflicted on new owners.
Unless this problem is solved, the public may lose trust in these groups, and the ultimate consequences will be that thousands if not millions of dogs will not be adopted out. So it's not only liability that needs to be avoided, but losing the trust of the public.
It therefore is essential that these groups engage in safe and ethical practices so that they avoid liability and avoid losing credibility. The seminar on this download is a "must-see" for this reason. Additionally, the Policy and Procedures for Observing and Reporting Problems with Dogs will help such groups to correctly place dogs in appropriate homes, as well as avoid liability for incidents that should not be blamed on the groups themselves.
