Together, we established Canine Water Wellness, a canine hydrotherapy facility, in Ottawa, Canada in 2009. We embarked upon a new career together that ultimately became our passion and our life. 

As there is no governing body that oversees or regulates this fast growing industry in Canada, we strongly felt that we needed to do anything we could to ensure that hydrotherapy is conducted in an educated, qualified, safe and professional manner.  Thus, we began conducting hydrotherapy training courses in 2012 at our facility.

We evolved into Canine Ripples when we decided to move the foundational learning material online and held hands-on-training sessions for all our students. But, COVID 19 created many challenges for us and the uncertainty of the future led us to decide to provide all our training online, with the goal to reach more people who want to enter into this amazing field and continue to help dogs have their best quality of life.
 
When we first started out and as we grew our business, we learned a lot about establishing a business and creating a safe healing space for our clients and their dogs. We continuously honed our hydrotherapy skills and knowledge and were rewarded by being part of the amazing healing process of hundreds of dogs – physically, emotionally and mentally. It has been the most rewarding thing we've ever done!
 
Now, solely dedicated to training hydrotherapists we want to share the knowledge and skill that we had gained as early pioneers in this ever growing industry and ensure that we all work ethically and within our scope of practice.
