What People are Saying
What people are saying about this course
“I'm glad I found this course. It was a good refresher and especially important for me since I run a dog boarding home with a pool. There are so many programs nowadays that offer certification so I did my research on the Pro trainings company to make sure they were legit before signing up. I found Pro Trainings was an established reputable company founded by a paramedic. This was one of the only courses I found that was delivered by a vet.
I will definitely need to review the cpr demonstrations and practice on some dogs to make sure I will be able to apply what I learned from the course in a real life emergency. Very satisfied customer. Thank you.
