Frequently Asked Questions

What is PetTech

PetTech is the first international training center dedicated to CPR, First Aid & Care for dogs and cats. Pet Tech teaches information in a hands-on practice environment to give students every opportunity they can to internalize the information. All Pet Tech Instructors go through rigorous training and work closely with each other to share learning practices. As Instructors we all have the same goal: to help educate pet parents and pet professionals on proper care for their pets.

Who can Take a PetTech Class?

Anyone! I strongly encourage all pet parents and pet professionals to get trained in pet care, first aid & CPR. And because pet parents come in all varieties, much like their pets, I have the pleasure of teaching many types of people. I have taught adults, teens, first time pet parents, seasoned pet parents, pet professionals just starting their careers and those who have been around for years. Having such a variety of students makes each class unique and such a blast! 

Will there be lunch?

We break for lunch during PetSaver class. lunch break lasts an hour and there are several great, near-by places to grab lunch.  Check out the list Here. Pet first aid class times vary, so we try to schedule it in-between food times.  Snacks are welcome and we have a few items for sale.  We do a lot of hands-on activities so be mindful of the snacks you bring.

What do I need to Bring?

Nothing but a smile and excitement! I provide all the training materials necessary. If you want a snack or beverage, feel free to bring them, however you will not be required to bring anything with you to class.  The temperature of the room might be slightly cooler than normal, so you may want to bring a sweater.

Where are classes Held?

Classes are held in the classroom at the Off Leash K9 Training Facility near the SFCC Campus. After you register for class you will receive a welcome email with more information.

    What about Parking? Free!

Can I Bring My Pet?

For classes, I try to bring one of my personal pets with me. My lab Kona. I will use her during class for certain demonstrations and students will have the opportunity to try a few techniques themselves on my very friendly animal! For liability and simplicity reasons,  I ask students not to bring any of their pets to class.
