Default Setting up dog grooming school?

I'm helping my aunt (who can't speak english but has perfect grooming skills) set up grooming school. I'll be handling all the paper works and translating.
My question is, where can I get the forms for the dogs used for practices? We will be advertising: "low fee for bringing your dog for students" and we want to make sure that they know these dogs are used for practices.
Thank you!

Most people write their own.

Hope she has insurance for when her students injure customer's dogs.

You can type it up yourself, but I would also include a waiver that makes sure the owners know you are not responsible if something doesn't go exactly as planned. Students are going to mess up and the last thing you need is someone coming to you and holding you accountable for a botched job. You might also want to include other legal things like the owner is responsible for a dog that bites you or a student and that if the dog is accidentally injured they can't hold the school accountable. After you've got it all typed up I would go over it with a lawyer to make sure everything seems airtight and you've eliminated all the loopholes. It wont be easy getting it all started but will be lots of fun after the fact! Good luck!

Make sure there's a hold harmless on the form. They'll know for sure when they sign it.

The grooming school I went to had herds of show people of every breed under the sun that brought their dogs to us for grooming. Write the contract yourself, include waivers for student mishaps, include proof of vaccinations for the dogs, but give it up on holding owners responsible for bites. That's part of the job, and a risk you just have to take. The real world has more dogs that snap than dogs that just love a haircut and brushing, so instead of refusing hard cases, welcome them as more lessons for students to introduce them to how to handle this as well as just trimming and nail painting. Have the students sign a waiver upon enrollment stating that THEY will not hold the school responsible for bites etc. You will have a better variety of breeds if you open up to show and/or pure bred breeders for the pure bred dogs,,,,and open up to 'hard cases' for practical learning, and mixed breed grooming.

Think about it,,,,,alot of the dogs that are hard to do are refused, or overcharged by groomers. They will flock to you and won't mind a mess up every now and then to get half priced grooming for their snapper.
