Why do you need dog training cover?

Your clients put trust in your services for direction with their dog behaviour and part of this responsibility is to plan for the unexpected. Training can provide huge benefit to dog owners but sometimes things can go wrong.

Specialist dog training insurance is vital protection for unforeseen circumstances. It ensures you avoid expensive losses from claims that could be submitted against you. These are some examples that highlight the importance of dog training insurance:

Protect against claims if a member of the public gets injured.

While training a dog in your care, there’s a risk that an incident could occur, potentially causing injury to a customer or bystander. Additionally, accidents happen, and you might unintentionally damage your client’s property while delivering your services.

Public liability insurance specifically tailored for dog training provides the necessary cover to protect you against claims stemming from these incidents.

 

Financial protection from vet expenses.

Whilst no one wants harm to come to any animal it’s important to ensure you are covered to get them treatment if accidents happen. If an animal is injured during a training session following an exercise you’ve proposed and needs treatment.

Care, Custody, and Control cover protects you if an animal is lost, injured, becomes ill, or suffers a fatality while in your care.

In case you lose a client’s key.

If you access your clients’ property and have responsibility for their door keys. Loss of key cover covers you for new keys and locks, the cost of re-setting intruder alarms and associated call-out costs if you were to lose them.

Cover from costly dog training equipment losses.

If your training equipment gets damaged or goes missing during a session, the expenses can quickly add up. These situations can disrupt your business, making it harder to offer the same quality of service your clients expect.

With dog training equipment cover, you can quickly replace or repair your essential tools and ensure that you can continue to provide top-notch care and training without interruption.

Our experts explain why...

“Caring for an animal carries a risk and this is heightened further so when caring for another person’s animal, even if they are domestic. Our policy ensures that if that animal were to harm you, a person in your employment, a member of the public or themselves, that you can stay protected against potential financial losses related to reimbursing those that try to claim damages from you. Whether it be reimbursing the owner of the animal for vet bills arising from an injury when walking a dog or a claim costing thousands of pounds caused by a dog in your care, biting a member of the public, you can rest assure our claim experts will handle your claim with care and priority.”
