Pet First Aid Workshops

Hi I am a new member, I am currently developing my own business where I will be offering educational workshops to pet owners and individuals in the industry. I am a qualified vet nurse and college lecturer. My most popular workshop is mainly first aid, however, I can conduct other workshops ie medications etc.., If anybody is interested in coming along or would like to offer any comments about my business, then please email me I live in the Cheshire area, and would travel to the North West ie Liverpool etc.... Your thoughts on my business idea would be appreciated. I look forward to hearing from you. Lorraine

I think this is a great business venture, I wish you the best of luck. I would love to do a few courses like the first aid, all I know about this subject is what I have read in books (or through experience), sometimes hands on stuff is a better way to learn.
Maybe one day you might reach scotland!
Have you a website? It's the best way to reach the masses...

Just tried to look at your website- but its under construction.
Your idea sounds fabulous. As a dog walker, I have been on a canine first aid course, but it was very (I repeat very) diffucult to attend, expensive and run by morons.

I have tried to pursuade local vets to run one for pet owners but is obviously not in their best interest for people to look after their own dogs (actually a vet said that to me). lol

If you are flexible, and would consider visiting Scotland, I bet I could get some pet owners together for you

Hi fimberely,
your in dundee too?! That is the cutest picture of Riley ever...

well if you came to Dundee I'd certainly be interested!! So there are 3 people already......

I know not exactly worth your while...YET but who knows in the future.

I think its a great idea, best of luck

Thats a good idea...I may be intersted next year - if I could get some people together!

I would definately be interested I am in Manchester, I think its a really good idea, I wish you luck xx

Hi Jess

Thank you for your reply, very encouraging!. I have had a good response from people around different regions, Because I have interest from different regions, I have been thinking about the idea of a possible online course...... and take it from there, who knows perhaps I could arrange to meet people half way some where... Could you let me know what you think of a online course, I really would appreciate your view on this.

Kind regards

Lorraine

Hi Fimberley

Thank you for your response, very encouraging. I have had a good response from members around the regions and it has made me think about offering online courses, and perhaps I could arrange to meet people half way some where, not to sure where. Could I ask you what you think about the idea of an online course, your comments would be appreciated.

If you dont mind could I ask you a couple of things, firstly you say that you attended a canine first aid course only to be dissapointed by (a) people who delivered it (b) difficulty of getting onto the course, could I ask; why was it you find the people to be 'morons' and why was it hard to get onto?, I am only asking these things so I can build up a picture of what people are looking for and what they expect. Finally, to be really cheeky, could I ask how much you paid in respect of attending your canine course? again I am just trying to put the 'big picture' together. I must stress that you DO NOT have to answer any of my questions, but I really do appreciate any feedback or comments.

By the way, my website should be ready in the new year, and I am including testimonials from students, who thankfully are very happy with the way I deliver lectures and really enjoy my sessions.

Phew!! that was a long reply...... sorry......

Hi Benzmum

Thank you for your reply, very encouraging. I have been having a re-think about a few things, because I have had a good response from members around different regions, what about if I produced a online course, with the possiblility of meeting people half way, Im not to sure where, but as you said who knows!!. I would value your feedback on my idea.

Kind Regards

Lorraine
