Dog First Aid Courses (practical)

Our Dog First Aid course is 3 hours and covers how to care for an unconscious dog as well as commonly occurring injuries and illnesses including choking, bleeding, fitting, poisoning and much more. The course is run in small groups, with hands-on experience using a specially designed dog manikin and numerous other practical training aids.

If you work in the industry as a dog-walker or groomer, this is a great way to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in dog first aid to enhance your authority and encourage new and potential clients to feel confident trusting their pets to your care. All participants are awarded an Emergency First Aid for Dog’s Certificate, an accompanying first aid manual and pet face shield.  Pet first aid kits are available to purchase on the day.

Please note that our venue is not set up for your dogs to attend with you. If you would prefer to have your dog with you on the course, we recommend you organise a bespoke course with a group of friends at one of your homes and we would be delighted to come and teach with your dogs present. If you would like to join us please Click Here to Book.

The course will be held at our lovely bright venue at 74 Ramsden Road, Balham SW12 8QZ which is 5 minutes’ walk from Balham Mainline and Northern line station. Free parking at the weekend.

This is an invaluable course and we really look forward to you joining us. Click Here to Book.
