01

The owner context

Owners need a memorable sequence for incidents at home, on walks and while travelling, plus a realistic understanding of when to call their veterinary practice immediately.

02

The professional context

A professional may be responsible for several clients’ dogs, staff actions, incident records and workplace procedures. Training should reflect that added duty of care.

03

The working-dog context

Operational handlers may be further from veterinary support and exposed to heat, terrain and traumatic injury. Field assessment, extraction planning and equipment governance therefore need dedicated attention.
