About the Instructors

April Richards and Jason Hofmann met in 2007 in Brooklyn, NY, at the 45th Pet Tech® instructor training program. April and Jason were partnered up in the instructor program and asked to share a “demo” dog, which we named Bruno. Over the course of the intensive three-day program, and with the help of Bruno, we became skilled in pet first aid and CPR, as well as learning many instructing techniques. By graduation day we became good friends, and later decided to team up together to promote Pet Tech®. As professionals in the pet industry, we both feel very strongly that every pet owner should be armed with the life-saving tools of pet first aid and CPR. In our commitment to improving the quality of pets’ lives we urge anyone who either cares for or owns a pet to be proactive and learn these techniques.
