An estimated 92% of pets will experience some type of emergency situation during their lifetime, and up to 60% of veterinary visits are an emergency. Moreover, preventable accidents are the leading cause of death among pre-senior dogs.
Many people assume that if their dog becomes unwell or has an accident, the only option is to transport it to a vet. However, knowing what to do in an emergency can be the difference between life or death, and can buy precious time until veterinary care can be provided. Take the Canine First Aid Course and you will be ready for an emergency should it ever happen.

People love dogs. Do we understand dogs though? Can you tell if a dog in the room with you is worried? Do you know what a calming signal is or how long adrenaline takes to leave the body of a dog? Do you know why dogs bite or that although they share most of their DNA with the wolf their behaviour is very different?
You will have a greater understanding of dog training and behaviour modification methods and know how they came about as common practice, plus how they affect the dog. You will be able to recognise key body language, gestures and signals of the dog and learn how you own human body language and reactions often misrepresent your own canine communication attempts.

Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve very little, because they're not concentrating their effort on the things that matter the most.
Time management training begins with setting goals. These goals are recorded, prioritized and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list.

We'll cover all this and more during this Time Management Online Short Course.
