Welcome

Hey there, fellow dog lovers! As a passionate dog owner and enthusiast, I understand how much our furry companions mean to us. They're family! That's why I'm excited to share the heartwarming initiative we have right here in town – our Powell River Dogsafe First Aid course. It's all about empowering pet owners like you with life-saving skills to handle emergencies and keep your four-legged friends safe and sound.

The Importance of Canine First Aid As a dog owner, you know that accidents can happen, no matter how careful we are. That's why being prepared with Dogsafe First Aid is crucial. In our course, we'll teach you how to handle common health emergencies, from basic wound care to dealing with heatstroke or choking incidents. You will learn how to give CPR and asses your dogs vital signs. You will leave this course with the confidence and knowledge needed to act quickly and effectively during those critical moments.

Meet Ty, the Awesome Demo Dog Now, let me introduce you to the star of our course – Ty, the awesome demo dog! Ty is not just a furry companion but also an integral part of our students experience in class. His friendly demeanor and playful nature make every session enjoyable. Ty loves showing off various first aid techniques, and believe me, he'll win your heart in no time!

Embracing the Time with Ty I must admit, Ty's presence in our course has an extra special meaning for me. He is 15 years old now, and I know that our time together in physical form is very special now. I want to make the most of this time and teach as many courses as we can. He has taught many first aid skills and been the topic of many canine emergencies in our course, and Ty is happy to hear them. We have lead quite the life together.
