How to Make Money as a Pet CPR Trainer

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation for pets is an important skill for all pet owners and those who work around pets. Because pet CPR classes for the public are a newer idea, many potential students are still unaware that classes exist. To make money as a pet CPR trainer, a teacher must be proactive and ambitious about seeking out students and organizations that would benefit from the class.

Instructions

- 1
  Become certified to teach pet CPR by an accredited organization, such as the American Red Cross or American Heart Association.

  Research your local area to find out where there are large groups of pet owners. Look to dog parks, pet stores, grooming shops and pet training facilities.
- 5
  Ask a manager or another person in authority, at facilities that attract pet owners, if you can place fliers for your pet CPR training. Emphasize the importance of knowing lifesaving skills for pets.

  Work under the organization that certified you. Borrow their classrooms and class supplies, so that you do not have to buy your own; such as mannequins, books, and the class DVD.

  Give the organization a cut of the pay made from the class and be paid hourly for your time. Include travel, as well as set-up and take-down time. Ask them whether they pay extra to a teacher who travels to teach on-site. Remember that each organization pays differently, so ask about this before getting certified.

  Provide meaningful, well-rounded and accurate classes. Ask students who enjoyed your class to promote your business.
