Council approves dog-behavior training permit for city dog park
Summary
An applicant identified as Miss Smith received council approval to offer behavioral dog-training sessions in the city dog park after confirming experience with PTSD-related training, AKC credentials and insurance coverage; she apologized for filing the permit late.
Miss Smith appeared before the Olney City Council seeking a permit to offer dog-behavior training classes in the newly established dog park. She said she has provided PT/PTSD-related training for five years and holds AKC credentials, and she apologized for not realizing a permit was required; she said she had since submitted the application and would answer council questions.
When asked about liability, Miss Smith said she requires participants to sign waivers and that her insurance covers on-site work, including in-home lessons. After brief questions, a councilmember moved, seconded and the council approved the permit.
Representative quote: Miss Smith told council, "I make everyone sign a waiver for their own, but, yes, I do."
