Is There Duplication with the Dogsafe 101 course?
​Yes, the Bare Bones course curriculum is pulled directly from the Dogsafe 101 course. So, if you're thinking of taking the Dogsafe 101 as well, (it's our most popular) then don't register for the Bare Bones too as it will all be duplication.
​Just want a shorter, but important, course? Then Bare Bones is for you!

Prevention vs Response
The focus of this workshop is prevention, preparedness and baseline assessments of your dog. We do not cover actual first aid incident assessments, first aid responses or first aid techniques for specific emergencies such as choking, CPR, poisoning, seizures or wound management. If you are interested in detailed first aid topics and how-to respond, please register for our comprehensive, full-day Dogsafe Canine First Aid 101 course.
