Fleck, Denise: - DENISE FLECK Denise Fleck developed the curriculum for her Pet First-Aid & CPCR Classes after training with a dozen national organizations, taking seminars to this day about everything animal, reading, practicing and serving as a long-time rescue volunteer and animal response team member. She has personally taught close to 20,000 humans animal life-saving skills and millions more via on-air demonstrations. She assisted Homeland Security with their K9 Border Patrol First-Aid Program and developed her own line of Pet First-Aid Kits because My students have the best of intentions but just don't get around to getting them together themselves. Denise has shared animal life-saving skills on Animal Planet's Groomer Has It and Pit Boss, A&E's Kirstie Alley's Big Life, CBS-TV's The Doctors, CNN Headline News, PBS-TV's Lassie's Pet Vet and KTLA Los Angeles as well as on radio and in magazines. Denise has also created the curriculum for and teaches a 20-week course in Animal Care through the Burbank Unified School District's ROP Program for high school juniors & seniors at the Burbank Animal Shelter. My proudest moment is when one student shared that he now wants to save an animal's life rather than fighting dogs like his friends. That is why I do what I do! As the proud instructor, I hope one of my students will cure a debilitating canine disease or end animal homelessness, but if each student adopts a shelter pet, shares with friends the need for spay/neuter, never harms or judges a dog by his breed alone, I'll still wag my tail.
