Just recieved my IPET Network Caine First Aid level 3 certificate which I was awarded in January 2026. As well as the theory work online, I did a day training having hands on practice at Dog-a-holic Grooming Academy with Amanda
I did this 3 years ago when I also completed my grooming qualification with Amanda but doing this every 3 years is vital to keep up to date with changes in policy and procedures.
Example of how apply training: I recently had a dog in that has a seizure history. This did not worry me as I asked the appropriate questions to owner about triggers how the seizure looks (not all seizures are the same). I was confident with my training what I needed to do to keep the dog safe if it occurred and change the environment and grooming process to reduce the risk of a trigger.
If you would be interested in getting this qualification please let me know as Amanda who I have had my training with would love to come up and offer this course to anyone who is interested from pet parents, farmers, game keepers, dog trainers/walkers or just someone who would want to help a dog if they was injured in public.
I am now looking into my next training with IPET which will be dog behaviour and welfare training basis as I want to provide the best service to my clients.
