These dogs are exposed to the same high-risk environments as their human partners, making it essential to have the skills to provide immediate and advanced care. Ensuring their safety and readiness directly impacts mission success and the protection of our communities. These dogs are more than just tools—they are vital members of the team.

Tac9 Med Training Instructor

JANA HELGESON

With two decades of combined experience in veterinary and human emergency care, I bring a unique and specialized skill set to the table. As a board-certified ER nurse with 9 years in human ER nursing and 10 years in veterinary ER, trauma, and ICU care, I've developed a deep understanding of critical care. My role as a TCCC CM/C instructor and an Air Force Reserves flight nurse with deployment experience further honed my trauma and prehospital care expertise. Driven by a passion for the health and welfare of working dogs, I blend my diverse background in both human and animal emergency care to deliver impactful and effective medical training.

COURSE DEBRIEFS

  • Jana is not only an exceptional instructor in the realm of canine casualty care, but she is an incredible person who really loves her job and her country. I took a canine casualty class from her and those skills and knowledge obtained from her course translated to when I had to actually perform canine care during a military deployment. Do yourself a favor and take her classes.

  • Jana is a phenomenal canine casualty instructor with valuable knowledge and experience. Her lectures are engaging and she uses her personal canine for hands on anatomy familiarization as well as basic canine assessments - I believe this is the most beneficial aspect of her course. Jana's professional, yet friendly demeanor provides a complete, well rounded course that elevates her teachings above other canine medicine/canine casualty courses that I have taken previously.

  • Jana is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to canine casualty care. No matter what your experience with canine's is, her instruction will prepare you for the worst case scenario.

    For the K9 officer conducting operations with their dog, she will teach you to save his life. For the pet owner, she will teach you the proper placement of any subcutaneous injections your pet may need. When you walk away from this training you will be more confident and have more assurance that you can perform the necessary first aid to save your best friends life.

  • My wife and I recently took Jana’s dog CPR and first aid class, and it was fantastic! We learned so much—she was thorough, patient, and made sure we understood everything. Jana covered topics like choking, wound bandaging, CPR, and pulse checking, and ensured we were confident in our skills, even if it meant practicing multiple times. We can’t recommend Jana and TAC9 Medical Training enough! Her class has made us feel much more prepared and capable in case of an emergency with our dog.
