Casey Farris has been teaching Pet First Aid & CPR since 2002 and was one of the first certified teachers in Texas. She is certified to teach through Pet Tech™ the premier training center on the planet for pet first aid and care. She has taught hundreds of pet professionals, as well as pet owners, the skills and techniques needed by a first responder. Casey says, “After living with pets all of my life and pet sitting for others most of my adult life, I know that accidents and injuries can and will happen. Knowing the skills and techniques of Pet First Aid can mean the difference between life and death, between temporary and permanent disability, between expensive veterinarian bills and reasonable home care, and between rapid recovery and long recuperation for the pet.” Casey lives on Galveston Island, Texas with her husband, Michael, and two cats, Emily Ann and Skeeter Tom.

Justin Bailey is proud to bring Off Leash K9 Training to the Houston, Texas area! Justin spent most of his childhood summers on his aunt and uncle’s chicken farm in East Texas, where they raised 150,000 to 300,000 chickens a year. Justin started learning to train dogs in order to help with the daily removal of injured chickens from the six 100 yard long chicken coops. This began Justin’s life long passion of animals at a very early age. During high school Justin’s father purchased a 465 acre ranch for them begin raising beef cattle, once again, Justin began training dogs to cut, sort, and herd the cattle.
