Despite all warnings, rules and precautions, certain dangers still exist. It is virtually impossible to predict all possible situations that could occur in a dog-friendly premises. Risks include: the propensity of any dog to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury to you, another person, your dog or another dog. Other risks include, but are not limited to, the inexperience, negligence or irresponsibility of a dog owner/handler; the inability to predict a dog’s reaction to movement, sounds, objects, persons, or other animals; and actions by the dog due to fright, anger, stress, insect bites or natural reactions such as jumping, pulling, resisting and biting. Other risks include: the hazards associated with environmental and traffic conditions, acts of God, inclement weather, slips and falls, premises’ defects, equipment failure, failure in supervision, and all other circumstances inherent to dog and/or outdoor activities. Children are especially prone to injuries or death from such things as bites or attacks since they sometimes demonstrate behaviors that may seems threatening or prey-like to dogs.
