Hands-On with
Canine CPR

Manikins

Dogsafe Canine First Aid Authorized Instructors have invested in your canine first aid education by providing canine CPR manikin(s). The canine CPR manikins are vital educational tools that are considerably more life-like than using stuffed toys. Our manikins have working pulse and lungs enabling you to actually perform canine CPR, a technique that is not possible to conduct on live dogs.The Dogsafe course goes beyond just watching an instructor demonstrate CPR and provides opportunities for hands-on practice with canine CPR manikin(s) -- an essential component to effective learning.
I think dogs are the most amazing creatures. For me they are the role model for being alive.

Dogsafe® 
Written Test

Dogsafe Canine First Aid Part 1 concludes with a written test to ensure that you leave the course with a thorough understanding -- and confidence -- to take positive action in any emergency involving a dog. Dogsafe believes strongly in maintaining high standards in canine first aid education and I also believe in helping students be successful when learning new skills, so don't worry, I'm confident in the Dogsafe curriculum and my instruction, which results in a 100% student pass rate.

Upon successful completion of the hands-on practical and written test, you will be granted a frame-ready, 8 1/2" x 11" Dogsafe certificate that you can be proud to show your family, friends, clients and even your dog!
