Tailored to suit your needs
 Whether
you organise and run a Kennel Club society, small unaffiliated agility club or conduct private
one-to-one training, you need insurance. One never knows what can happen and you need to be
protected for any event. The Kennel Club understands the challenges which is why they have
introduced two insurance schemes that are specifically designed to meet them. We asked them to
explain.
The
insurance schemes we have developed have the advantage that they are available for all canine
disciplines including Agility, Obedience as well as Flyball. They are also flexible because
cover can commence when you want it to, and you can tailor either policy to reflect your
individual, unique needs.
 1.
Kennel Club Insurance for Dog Training Instructors
The Kennel Club Insurance for Dog
Training Instructors is an ideal insurance solution for those who train on a one-to-one or
informal group basis and do not run a club or society.
The policy provides £2.5 million of essential Public Liability insurance as standard, which
gives you the reassurance that you are covered if someone is injured or property damaged whilst
at one your training classes or on your premises and you are held liable.
This cover also includes:-
-
Trainer to trainer or handler to handler liability, providing cover for trainees if they or
their dogs cause injury or damage another trainee at your training classes.
-
Trainee’s or
handler’s personal liability, covering injury or damage to someone at your training classes.
 2.
Kennel Club Insurance for Canine Clubs & Societies
This insurance scheme is a complete
package that is designed to cover the assorted needs of not only the organiser or secretary,
but the Club/Society as a whole including all club/society meetings, events and shows as well
as functions attended by your club/society.
£2.5 million Public Liability Insurance - Provided as standard, which is an essential
requirement for all Kennel Club registered events, and covers you if someone is injured or
property is damaged, including:
-
All competitors/participants and their dogs

Judges and
Stewards

This cover also includes member to member liability where you can extend cover to include the
personal liability of the club/society members, such as your committee, officials and
exhibitors for any injury or damage to their property whilst participating within the
activities of your club/society.
