Since then we have trained over 1850 people. The class is paramedic based material teaching students how to provide care to an injured dog. Class content covers over 20 topics including splinting, bandaging, how to control bleeding, snake bites, how to preform the Heimlich on a choking dog, bloat, CPR and much more. One thing we focus on is how to "read" the dog for signs of aggression and to see
if the dog is approachable to provide care. Currently all the classes listed on the web site are designed for the every day pet owner. We do have separate classes for Doggy Day Care providers and we also have a class for Police, Fire, and EMS. The EMS provider course is specific to State Bill 14-139 allowing EMS providers to provide emergency medical care to cats and dogs. I am also an American Heart Association Faculty. I have also been able to provided Human CPR certifications as well with an added component to the class. All of my instructors are Paramedics and have been with me for several years. We have several CPR dogs and manikins for hands on experience. We also provide a lifetime certification where any student may attend a class at a later date free of charge. Typically we limit the class to no more than 24 students. One thing we feel is important is a reasonable instructor to student ratio to provide maximum learning.
