Keystone Bichon Frise Club Pet First Aid/CPR Training

The Keystone Bichon Frise Club held a wonderfully organized PetTECH Pet First Aid/CPR training seminar at the Morgantown Holiday Inn. A special "Thank You" goes out to Gloria Kilpatrick and Elaine Forstall for all the hard work planning, organizing, implementing and paying close attention to the finest detail. It is that dedication that made this such a nice event.




A special "Thank You" to Debbie and Patty for doing great job showing the techniques during demonstrations and helping provide "Hands-On" support. Great Job!





We were greeted with the smell of coffee, juice and danish to help awaken the group, followed by some hard work before a well planned lunch at break. The break gave students time to digest the material just covered. We had time to chat and interact with each other. Gloria and Elaine even made up "goodie bags" on Friday night that were filled with anything the student might need for the class. I especially liked the snacks included for after lunch to keep everyone alert!



This Club was one of the most enthusiastic classes I have ever taught! They were warm, fun and very intent on learning. It was obvious just how important knowing this material was for their comfort in being able to help their pets in any situation. Many students shared stories about how this knowledge might have changed an emergency, had they been aware of the Pet First Aid techniques and CPR at the time of the emergency.

Gloria, who was taking the class for re-certification explained to the Club how after taking the PetTECH First Aid class previously she was able to utilize the skills taught in choking management almost immediately upon return to her home.
