Prevent heat exhaustion - cool your dog after working.

"In 26 years as a professional dog trainer I have attended  K-9 seminars all over the country and have never attended a class which provides such valuable information as K911 Emergencies. Twenty-three years of police K-9 work has reinforced my understanding for the need to know how to care for injured working dogs in the field. Not only should all K-9 handlers attend this class but anyone working around working dogs would benefit greatly.  Houston delivers the classes with professionalism and his use of the canine manikin allows students hands on experience in treating an injured K-9."
