Today I graduated as a Pet Tech Petsaver instructor. Here is the graduation class of the February 2009! See me there on the left next to Thom “The Pet Safety Guy” Somes.
It has been a great 3 days here in Orlando and met some terrific folks – 4 other pet sitters, a manager of a doggie day care centre (in DFW!), and a dog training business owner. We all walk away from this class with some much more knowledge of pet first aid and wellness – that we are now empowered to pass on to other pet lovers and pet care professionals.
The Pet Tech Petsaver program is very comprehensive program and covers:
Restraining and Muzzling, Primary Pet Assessment, Pet CPR and rescue breathing, Choking Management, Bleeding Protocols, Poisoning, Heat and Cold Injuries, Bites and Stings, Snout to Tail Wellness Assessment, Dental Care for Pets, and Caring for Your Senior Pet-izen.
I believe that every pet owner should know this information. Pets are members of our family and we all want them to be a part of our family for as long as possible. Taking this course will allow pet owners to not only be able to act quickly and confidently in an emergency situation, but also help them to understand how they can improve their pets health, improve their quality of life, and extend the length of their life by applying pet wellness principles.
As soon as I return to DFW next week I will be scheduling my first class. If you live in the area please leave a comment if you are interested in attending so that I can email you with the time and date of the class. Wherever you live – you can find a local Pet Tech instructor by using the locator at www.pettech.net.
Next I’m off to the Pet Sitters International Quest Annual conference. I’ll have more updates and photos for you later this week!
Congratulations! I hope you said hi to Thom for me. Wishing you full classes and lots of fun!
Yay!! Congratulations!
Congratulations, Danielle! What a great service to add to your business. Customers will have more “peace of mind” when you watch their pets. They know you can handle any crisis! Cheers,
Dara
Thanks! It is a great class and makes a great add on service to any existing pet business. I already have my class supplies ordered – just need to find a venue and schedule the first class..
Good Job ! So…did you feel it was worth the 1295 ? The class will be in my area in Nov 09 and I am leaning towards doing it
Seems like you loved it !
Lisa – yes definately worth the investment. You should be able to get your money back by conducting just one class. I’m yet to hold my first class but hopefully get one set up in the next couple of weeks!
