Denise Fleck(I)
Denise Fleck is an award-winning author and animal care instructor who developed the curriculum for her Pet First-Aid & CPCR Classes after training with dozens of schools and organizations, practicing, attending seminars and practicing some more. She has taught over 10,000 animal lovers life-saving skills and has appeared 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 also created the curriculum for and teaches a 20 week course in Animal Care through the Burbank Unified School District for high school juniors and seniors at the Burbank Animal Shelter. "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 (particularly a Senior), shares with friends the need for spay/neuter or never harms or judges a dog by his breed alone, I'll still wag my tail," she smiles.
Fleck's books include her award-winning "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover" which received the Dog Writers Association of America's Maxwell Medallion for Best Children's Book and honors in the London Book Festival. The first sequel, "Start Off on the Right Paw," continues the "do not judge anyone or anything" message and stresses the importance of proper dog-to-dog introductions; her most comprehensive work, "The Pet Safety Bible" in conjunction with Pet World Insider; Quickfind Books' "Dog First Aid & CPR," "Cat First Aid & CPR," "How to Take Care of Your Dog or Puppy" and "How to Take Care of Your Cat or Kitten;" Rescue Critters "Pet First Aid for Kids" and . Denise has also won the Cat Writer's Award of Excellence, Volunteer of the Year from the Burbank Police Department for her work at the Animal Shelter and has twice been a finalist as the Pet Industry's Woman of the Year.
