Facility Employee Training

We are always working to provide a professional, safe, and compassionate environment for our canine and human clients. As facility owners, we know that having qualified, educated staff is critical in achieving this goal.

Our foundational online training can help you to provide your employees with the expertise they need to fulfil their role and make a positive impact on your business.


The convenience of having your employee(s) learning the fundamentals online and then completing their training at your own facility allows them to study from home, eliminating the cost and time of travel.  This will also reduce the time you will spend training every time you have a new employee and they will all have the same base knowledge.

Training at Canine Ripples

About Our Course

Canine Ripples provides foundational canine hydrotherapy training.

Our course is based on years of experience of owning our own hydrotherapy facility, which we opened in 2009, and swimming hundreds of dogs with varying degrees of conditions and severity.  It covers key concepts, such as, anatomy, common conditions, canine psychology, handling techniques and much more. 

We began teaching canine hydrotherapy at our facility in 2012 and now have moved our course completely online, in hopes of reaching more people and educating them about this amazing field.  Our wish is to do our part in making canine hydrotherapy accessible everywhere and to any dog that needs it.        

The vision of Canine Ripples is to help to ensure that the standard of care and treatment provided to canine patients and clients is always of exceptional quality. We hope the ‘ripple effect’ of our training will help to set the standard within our industry.
