About the event

We train in human first aid and CPR without thinking, but we do not learn how to adapt these skills to our dogs - why?

I have been teaching canine first aid since 2018 and my students have found it invaluable.

You will learn lifesaving skills plus much more, that in the interim of a vet's help can help your dog when in pain or discomfort, and even save your dog’s life!

During my workshops I talk about prevention, just as much as what to do in an emergency.

Dog first aid is so much more than CPR, knowing how to perform the canine Heimlich manoeuvre etc. It is also about avoiding avoidable problems, and situations, recognising risks and risk assessment management, plus appropriate dog walking etiquette. It's learning and understanding how NOT to put your dog (and yourself at risk).

Do you walk your dog off lead near a cliffs edge?

Have you thought about what your dog can see?

Has it crossed your mind - that your dog doesn't know that there is a steep drop?

Off they run 

Many dogs have lost their lives due to our lack of understanding of what they can and cannot see etc. Do not let your dog be one of them. Think of the risks, understand them and take action - for the love of your dog.

Do you know what Alabama Rot is?

Do you know what Blue Green Algae is?

How about Secondary Drowning?

Does your dog suffer with Seizures?

Do you think you could recognise pain in your dog? Yes? It may surprise you...

Plus, so much more!

This workshop is accredited L2 VTQ and upon completion of the course you will receive your CPD certificate and wallet card in the post. Plus a downloadable student manual, and weekly refresher videos emailed to you of a different skill each week.
