Because every pet deserves a prepared, compassionate caregiver

“ONE out of FOUR pets would SURVIVE if just ONE PET FIRST AID TECHNIQUE was applied before getting emergency veterinary care.” ~ American Animal Hospital Association.

At Pawsitive Relations, we’re committed to teaching and facilitating meaningful, educated connections with our animal companions—because every pet deserves a prepared, compassionate caregiver.

Pet Tech® is the first International Training Center dedicated to teach CPR, First Aid & Care for Dogs and Cats with over 20 years of helping Pet Parents and Pet Care Professionals managing emergency situations.

My teammate and I attended a Pawsitive Relations course hosted by Marta and we very much enjoyed the experience. The quality of the materials presented was top notch and the hands-on experience tied everything together.
