❀️ Because Every Dog Deserves a Hero

 πŸΎ Hi, I'm Dee!

I'm the face behind Sonnie's Salon 'Just for Dogs' and a qualified Canine First Aid Instructor.

I believe every dog owner should know what to do in those first few critical moments before they reach a vet.

Because when it's your own dog... every second matters. ❀️

πŸ’š Why I Teach First Aid

When my dad, Sonnie, became seriously ill, my whole outlook on life changed. It reminded me that life is precious, time is precious, and helping others is one of the most meaningful things we can do.


That same feeling came rushing back when this little lady, 


Pebbles, became poorly as a puppy. I was due to fly to Ireland the very next day, but there was no way I was leaving her. 


After an emergency overnight stay at the vets and a rather eye-watering Β£1,500 bill, it turned out she had gastroenteritis and simply needed fluids.


Looking back now, I realise just how much worry could have been eased if I'd known then what I know today.


That's why I followed my heart, qualified as both a Dog Groomer and Canine First Aid Instructor, and created Sonnie's Salon.


Because knowledge doesn't replace a vet… but it can give you the confidence to stay calm, recognise the signs, and know what to do while you're getting your best friend the help they need. πŸ’›

🐾 Why Learn Canine First Aid?

Our dogs trust us with their whole hearts.

They greet us with wagging tails, comfort us on our hardest days and love us unconditionally. They're not "just dogs"β€”they're family, our best friends, our shadows, our adventure buddies and, for many of us, our whole world.

We all hope we'll never face an emergency with the dogs we love... but if the unexpected happened, would you know what to do?

Learning Canine First Aid isn't about becoming a vet. It's about staying calm, acting quickly and giving your dog the very best chance until professional help is available. Those first few moments can make all the difference.

I truly believe every dog owner should have these skills. Not because we expect something to go wrong, but because the people who love our dogs most should feel confident enough to help them when they need us most.

My courses are friendly, relaxed and hands-on, giving you the confidence, practical knowledge and reassurance to act when every second counts.

Because if our dogs would do anything for us... surely we owe them the same. ❀️🐾

Imagine if it were your dog... Would you know what to do?

❀️ Skills That Could Save a Life

Throughout the course you'll learn how to:

❀️ Stay calm and take control in an emergency

πŸ«€ Perform canine CPR with confidence

🫁 Help a choking dog safely

🩹 Manage bleeding, wounds and bandaging

πŸ’” Recognise the signs of shock and what to do next

🌑️ Spot and treat heatstroke before it becomes life-threatening

🦴 Help dogs with broken bones, sprains and other injuries

🐝 Respond to stings, bites and allergic reactions

πŸ’Š Identify common poisons and know when urgent action is needed

πŸ• Safely move and transport an injured dog

☎️ Know when it's time to seek emergency veterinary care

πŸ’š Most importantly... leave with the confidence to act when every second counts.

 No one ever expects an emergency... but every dog owner deserves the confidence to know what to do if one happens. 

 β€οΈ Because one day...

The dog who needs help could be yours.

πŸ… What You'll Take Home

❀️ The Best Qualification You'll Ever Earn...

 When you complete your Canine First Aid Course, you'll leave with far more than a certificate. You'll leave with practical skills, confidence and the reassurance that you'll know where to begin if your dog ever needs you.


As a certified participant, you'll receive:

πŸ… An accredited CPD Canine First Aid Certificate

πŸ“– A downloadable course manual to keep for future reference

πŸŽ₯ Access to refresher training videos

πŸ’» Your own ProTrainings learner account

πŸ“… Helpful reminders when your certification is due for renewal

πŸ“² A digital certificate you can access anytime through the ProTrainings website

πŸ’š Most importantly..............⏬

The confidence to stay calm, act quickly and give your dog the very best chance until veterinary help is available.

Your certificate is something to be proud of...

But the greatest reward is knowing that one day, your knowledge could help save a dog's life.

And that's something no certificate could ever measure. 🐾
