What Certifications Do Happy Hound Trainers Hold?

Our team is proud to hold the following essential certifications: Pet First Aid through the American Red Cross and Fear Free Shelter Certification through Fear Free Pets.

Every trainer at Happy Hound is certified in Pet First Aid by the American Red Cross. This certification ensures that our trainers are equipped to handle any emergency situation that may arise during training sessions or beyond. From administering CPR to treating minor injuries, our trainers are prepared to act swiftly and effectively to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet. Having this certification means that you can trust us to provide not only excellent training but also compassionate and competent care in case of emergencies.

In addition to our first aid training, our trainers are also Fear Free Shelter certified through Fear Free Pets. This certification focuses on techniques and practices designed to reduce fear, anxiety, and stress in animals. The principles of Fear Free are rooted in the latest scientific research and aim to create a positive, low-stress environment for pets. This is particularly important for training, as a calm and happy pet is more receptive to learning and behavior modification.

The Pet First Aid certification ensures that we are prepared to handle any health emergencies that may occur, providing peace of mind to pet owners.

By maintaining these certifications, we demonstrate our dedication to ongoing education and excellence in pet care.
