DOGSAFE® Authorized Instructors
All DOGSAFE® Authorized Instructors are first, and foremost, dog lovers and many became interested in canine first aid because they had dogs that got themselves into trouble and required help. As DOGSAFE® Authorized Instructors, they all share a deep desire to teach you the knowledge and skills to keep all your dogs safe.
All DOGSAFE® Authorized Instructors are independant operators while still following the mission and vision of DOGSAFE® Head Office, located in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.
