Other Canine Trainings Completed

Sarah has undertaken training developed by MJ First Aid Training and is a Canine First Responder meaning she can attend to a dog in distress (with the owner’s consent) to offer emergency first aid whilst awaiting the arrival of veterinary assistance or prior to getting an injured dog to a suitable veterinary surgery.

Sarah has a passion for her work and strongly believes if her canine clients are to continue to receive the best possible care then updating and growing her own knowledge base is essential. As such she believes that her skill set should be regularly reviewed and enhanced as new advancements are made in canine health and welfare.
