First Aid Basics for Rabbits & Pocket Pets - Villa Rica, GA

Member since Dec 2018

Rabbit parents and caregivers know that their lagomorph best friends are NOT small dogs or cats, and signs of distress, as well as care, differ in many ways. Those who share their lives with rodents (Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Gerbils, Mice & Rats) must know that their furry loved ones are NOT small rabbits!

Denise Fleck (The Pet Safety Crusader) will take you on a 90-minute self-guided journey into the BASIC care of your lagomorph and/or rodent best friend. She will share with you what signs accompany various illnesses and injury, and the basic steps you need to take at the time of crisis to minimize complications and pain until you can reach veterinary care.

Topics include:
Checking Vitals and What is Normal for their various species
First Aid for Back & Bone Injuries, Bleeding (cuts, scrapes, bites), Bumblefoot, Burns, Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation, G.I. Stasis, Hyper/Hypothermia, Insects, Fleas & Mites, and Poisoning.
Items to have in your Pet First-Aid Kit
This class is recommended by Pet Sitters International and applies towards CEU credits.

Certificate of class completion will be emailed as a pdf for printing upon successful completion (80% or above) of 25 questions multiple-choice/true-false test. If your score is lower than 80%, I’d be happy to set up a time to go over any questions you have before retaking the test which you may do once at no charge. After that, it will be an additional $15 fee to extend the videos to you for another 30 days and retest. Refunds are not available once links have been sent.

“First Aid Basics for Rabbits & Pocket Pets” will provide you with the 4-1-1 you need to know to help the tiniest of furry friends. This book contains additional information and first aid care beyond the scope of the class so it is sure to become your go-to guide when your lagomorph or rodent needs you most!

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Denise Fleck, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
