Hi, I’m Megan Vollmer, founder of Pawsitive Response and a certified instructor through Canine Health Canada.

As a lifelong outdoorswoman and dog lover, I know how important it is to be prepared when adventure calls. When I brought home my Small Munsterlander, Jett, over three years ago, he reignited my passion for hunting, fishing, and exploring - and taught me how critical dog safety is in the field.

That’s why I started Pawsitive Response: to support dog owners with practical canine first aid training that builds confidence and saves lives. Whether you’re hiking trails, hunting upland birds, or enjoying a day at the park, knowing how to respond in an emergency can make all the difference for your dog.

Our Mission

To provide hands-on canine first aid courses that prepare dog owners to act quickly and effectively during emergencies. We believe preparedness and dog safety go hand-in-hand - and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.

Why Canine First Aid Matters

Every year, countless dogs experience injuries or emergencies where immediate care could change the outcome. Our goal is to pawsitively impact the dog community by creating a culture of preparedness, safety, and outdoor dog care.
