I very much enjoyed the course and feel it has given me the knowledge that I can put into practice if I ever come upon a dog in need of help. Thanks to all

Canine First Responder Course

A fantastic course to do if you are in the grooming profession or even a dog owner. This course will give you the confidence to help your furry friend if needed! From choking to a minor cut you will learn to deal/help with it all

Canine first Aid

Amazing experience with Canine first Aid even with covid restrictions. They provide both online and practical training in order to be fully certified and the whole process was throughly enjoyable. Karina and Jenny explain every detail both in the videos and during the in person practical. They provide everything you need. I couldn't recommend Canine first aid more! Cannot wait to put my skills to use.

Canine First Responder

I have really enjoyed the online canine first responder course. Obviously an online course for learning practical skills is never as good as having that hands on learning, however I think that the ladies did an amazing job at putting the information across. The fact we had to submit video evidence of preforming the skills was brilliant. Thank you so much, I feel much happier now, in the knowledge that I have this skill set.

I have worked in the animal world since my teens.Since 1995 I have been a full time dog groomer. When I heard of this course back in 2009 I knew I had to complete it. When there was an extra study option to be an instructor, I had to complete that too. Everyone with even a remote interest in the animal world should be a Canine First Responder.

Animals have been intertwined with my life as long as I can remember. I work as a dog groomer full time for the last 25 years and fully believe this course is of huge value to anyone who works, lives or plays alongside our canine friends. You just never know when these skills could save the life of your best friend.
