In September 2008 we introduced the Canine First Responder Course© which was developed to give professionals and the dog loving public the skills to deal with canine emergencies. Mike Jones being an Emergency First Response Instructor for Work Place First Aid Courses, applied to Emergency First Response for a Distinctive Instructor approval to market and teach the course under the EFR Banner as well as our own brand name. Emergency First Response granted approval and recognition as of the 1st of October 2008. So now when clients sign up for a course dual certification is available to them one of which is a globally recognised training brand name and the fastest growing training agency in the market place for first aid training giving clients the added satisfaction that the program as been looked at by professional educators in the field and approved for it’s educational validity and content. So what is a canine first responder?
The Canine First Responder is similar to its human counter part. It is by no means a replacement for treatment by a vet, it is a course designed to give you first aid and CPR skills for the canine form. We give you hands on practice on a canine CPR mannequin called Casper and show you priorities of care to follow before evacuation to your vet for treatment. Since its Introduction it has proven very popular with course bookings from all over the country travelling to the Midlands for training to prepare should that emergency arise with mans best friend. We work hard to educate owners about dogs and their welfare and are now fully trained Instructors around the UK and Ireland as we develop a network of regional training providers in Canine First Aid and CPR and because the training is standardised you will receive exactly the same course at which ever course venue you attend by professional Instructors who are not only knowledgeable about dogs but also canine first aid and CPR. We look forward to seeing you at one of our regional courses.

We wish you all the best in your endeavours and you know where we are if you need anything.
