OPERATIONAL WORKING DOG FIRST AID
Our flagship training course – Operational Working Dog First Aid – is a one day first aid course aimed at dog handlers across all sectors. It is certified by The CPD Certification Service and builds confidence and competence in handlers to be able to deal with their canine casualty. The course is hands-on, evidence-based and is centred around realistic scenarios. We recommend that handlers undertake this course every year. Aligned to this we also build in scenarios to licensing sessions and events/exercises, where handlers can be put through their paces with simulated trauma scenarios midway through a search task.
