1. Dog First Aid: Give proper care to your dog with this Canine First Aid
Our Dog First Aid Online Course will equip you with the training and knowledge to respond to dog emergencies. Approximately 90 percent of pets will have a medical emergency problem at some point in their lives, and more than half of all veterinary appointments are an emergency. Furthermore, for pre-senior dogs, preventable accidents are the primary cause of death.
Many people believe that transporting their dog to the veterinarian is their only option if it becomes ill or has an accident. Knowing what to do in an emergency, on the other hand, might be the difference between life and death, as well as purchase valuable time until veterinary help arrives. If you take our Dog First Aid Course, you will be prepared in the event of an emergency.

This course is a complete overview of the modern dog. It covers everything from how the dog evolved and became part of the human existence right through to how his brain works. By studying this you will be learning the most up to date and proven methods of dog communication, training and how to live a relaxed life with your own dogs.
People love dogs. Do we understand dogs though? Can you tell if a dog in the room with you is worried? Do you know what a calming signal is or how long adrenaline takes to leave the body of a dog? Do you know why dogs bite or that although they share most of their DNA with the wolf their behaviour is very different?
You will have a greater understanding of dog training and behaviour modification methods and know how they came about as common practice, plus how they affect the dog. You will be able to recognise key body language, gestures and signals of the dog and learn how you own human body language and reactions often misrepresent your own canine communication attempts.

As you master these skills you'll find that you take control of your workload, saying goodbye to the often intense stress of work overload. At the heart of time management is an important shift in focus: Concentrate on results, not on being busy. Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve very little, because they're not concentrating their effort on the things that matter the most.
Time management training begins with setting goals. These goals are recorded, prioritized and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. This entire process is supported by a skill set that should include personal motivation, delegation skills, organization tools, and crisis management. We'll cover all this and more during this Time Management Online Short Course.

1. Dog First Aid: Give proper care to your dog with this Canine First Aid
Our Dog First Aid Online Course will equip you with the training and knowledge to respond to dog emergencies. Approximately 90 percent of pets will have a medical emergency problem at some point in their lives, and more than half of all veterinary appointments are an emergency. Furthermore, for pre-senior dogs, preventable accidents are the primary cause of death.
Many people believe that transporting their dog to the veterinarian is their only option if it becomes ill or has an accident. Knowing what to do in an emergency, on the other hand, might be the difference between life and death, as well as purchase valuable time until veterinary help arrives. If you take our Dog First Aid Course, you will be prepared in the event of an emergency.

People love dogs. Do we understand dogs though? Can you tell if a dog in the room with you is worried? Do you know what a calming signal is or how long adrenaline takes to leave the body of a dog? Do you know why dogs bite or that although they share most of their DNA with the wolf their behaviour is very different?
You will have a greater understanding of dog training and behaviour modification methods and know how they came about as common practice, plus how they affect the dog.

Personal time management skills are essential skills for effective people.

As you master these skills you'll find that you take control of your workload, saying goodbye to the often intense stress of work overload. At the heart of time management is an important shift in focus: Concentrate on results, not on being busy. Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve very little, because they're not concentrating their effort on the things that matter the most.
Time management training begins with setting goals. These goals are recorded, prioritized and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. This entire process is supported by a skill set that should include personal motivation, delegation skills, organization tools, and crisis management. We'll cover all this and more during this Time Management Online Short Course.
