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 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.
