Great Content, Good Challenges

Anthony Schena, CCAT, CSCC, CCHT, New Jersey, USA, Oct, 2024

A great comprehensive study to anyone entering Hydrotherapy practice. I enjoyed having all the time I needed to review and study each chapter, especially the anatomy and physiology. Great tips on canine and therapist equipment, and setting up your own practice. (maybe a little blurb about insurance). Thanks so much!

Tracey Andrews,Ohio, USA, Oct, 2024

The course was very informative and gave me extra knowledge. was very well laid out. I'm excited about starting this new path.

Lisa Dickie, Nova Scotia, Canada, Oct, 2024

I loved this course! I am a RVT for 20 years and I believe in alternative therapy for animals that need the extra help. Families now go above and beyond for their pets because they are family. My own dog in particular has gone swimming for the exercise as she is senior dog, and unfortunately she is currently battling a rough recovery after surgical repair for an injured achilles tendon. After her recovery I will be taking her to our 1 and only facility and she will be using their underwater treadmill to gain her muscle back and walk easier.

My dream as a RVT is to open a facility to help out dogs (and cats if they like swimming) to better their overall health as well as for post surgical care. I know families are looking for these alternative therapies and we need to make this more available for them.

Jamie Skish, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Nov, 2024

This course is very engaging and comprehensive in its scope. It covers many aspects of the day-to-day work of a hydrotherapist, beyond what happens in the pool or UWT. From referral and intake to designing a treatment program and safety procedures, it provides the newcomer with insights that can only be gained through lived experience, and for the established professional moving into hydrotherapy, it guides you in adapting your existing approach to treating a range of conditions. I have found this course to be very valuable, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to budding and seasoned hydrotherapists alike!

Irene O'Callaghan, veterinary physiotherapist and owner of All Creatures Veterinary Physiotherapy, Ireland, July, 2024

This exceptional course is full of valuable information and practical tips, offering a transformative learning experience that anyone with an interest in canine hydrotherapy can benefit from. I discovered new knowledge in every module. It also inspired a sense of excitement for further education in canine hydrotherapy.

Michelle L. Thompson, USA, Sept, 2024

I have owned my own canine pool for 12 years, but had to be selective with which dogs I could allow in since I did not have a lot of medical knowledge. Until finding your course, the only options for me were to become a vet or vet tech...something I did not want to do. After taking your course, I feel much more confident to start treating dogs with more severe injuries, with vet approval of course! This course was the perfect addition to me in my business, and will allow me to continue to grow and help dogs. Thanks again!

Stacey Bonetti, USA, Sept, 2024

Taking this course and working in a facility that enables me to practice canine hydrotherapy has been a game changer for me. I remembered that work can be...FUN! The curriculum was easy to understand, engaging and informative. The team at Canine Ripples have been nothing short of amazing for helping me get to where I am now. I look forward to working in this growing field and continuing my studies, so that I can be the best canine hydrotherapist to my ability. Thank you!

Kimberly A. Teel, Florida, USA, Sept, 2024

This was a very informative, easy-to-follow course. I now feel adequately prepared to embark on my journey as a Certified Canine Hydrotherapist!

Krystal Paul, Canada, Aug 2024

As a canine massage therapist, I cannot recommend this canine hydrotherapy course enough! After enrolling in this course, I realize the incredible benefit of hydrotherapy as a low-impact way to help improve a dog's joint health and overall fitness. The course materials were professional and detailed about helping dogs through hydrotherapy and operating the hydrotherapy facilities. I wholeheartedly recommend this canine hydrotherapy course to any canine bodywork professionals or dog owners looking to enhance their furry companion's well-being.

Thomas Chi Ki Tsang, Hong Kong, Aug 2024

I really appreciated how much information I learned throughout this course. I thought it would be just the basics, but it really caught my interest as I was going through all the conditions, different medications, and canine psychology. I was first interested in becoming a Hydrotherapist, when I started taking my senior dog to the pool and with this course I picked up things I can do to help and support him as he ages. As well as hopefully advance my career in a field I'm actually interested in!

Alina Johns Alberta, Canada, April 2024

I found my dreams are coming through this course. I love swimming and to do it while helping animals will be a dream I always dreamed of. The course has covered everything needed. I will spread the course between my friends because it’s worth it. Thank you! Best wishes!

Abdelrahman Abdalla, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, April 2024

I definitely enjoyed this curriculum. I had already studied quite a bit from it a few years back, diving back into it was a lot of fun for me in refreshing my memory. I also very much enjoyed the new modules you have added, especially the body works! I currently have one of my employees enrolled in your program, and i will continue to send me future students to you.

Rachelle Dion, Manitoba, Canada,April 2024

The course was great. It provided a full overview of what to expect when working in the field of Canine Hydrotherapy, as well as teaching you what you need to be aware of, and how to maintain a professional and safe Hydrotherapy facility. It was very thorough and covered everything from basic anatomy to understanding the conditions and injuries that one might be exposed to when working with compromised or injured canine clients. It also provided a realistic insight on role and limitations of the Canine Hydrotherapist when working in partnership with injured dogs and their veterinarians.

Thank you Canine Ripples!

Cassandra Levy, Ontario, Canada, March 2024

This is my second time completing the Canine Ripples course for canine hydrotherapy and I loved the additional content provided! They provide thorough insight into not only canine hydrotherapy, but also common conditions you will find working in the industry, bodywork techniques and reading dog's body language. I really enjoyed

learning about bodywork and calming techniques and processes, I learned a lot about techniques I have overlooked in the past and will definitely be implementing them into my routine as a canine hydrotherapist!

Cara Moon, New South Wales, Australia

What a fabulous course! The modules are comprehensive and engaging. Jennifer was also so incredibly helpful, supportive and generous with her time with all my questions prior to even registering. I am very excited about the next steps in my canine hydrotherapy journey!

Leslie Joanisee, Yukon, Canada, July 2023

...and a few when we offerred Hands on Training as well

Top Notch Course, with great hands on and instructors. They guide you every step of the way!! Highly recommend it. So worth it!

Jax Graves, September 2, 2021

I can’t say enough about how great this experience was. The expectations I had were far exceeded, everyone involved in teaching this course had so much knowledge and the resources to answer any questions. I would highly recommend this course to anyone!!

Erin Clarke Tomlinson, July 2019

The experience I had with Lianne and Jen was, one of compassion and understanding of our canine friends. They both compliment each other to express the fulfillment of assisting and helping our fellow companions when they need help the most.

I learned a lot, but will continue with my knowledge that I have learned knowing they are there to guide us when needed. It was brilliant THANK YOU so much.

Claire Sojka‎, May 2019

If you are considering a career in Canine Hydrotherapy, the course offered by Canine Ripples is absolutely invaluable! Jennifer and Lianne go above and beyond to ensure that when you complete this course, you will have all of the necessary skills to make a proficient and trustworthy hydrotherapist.

The online module's offered before the hands on portion of the course provide you with a fantastic base knowledge of canine anatomy, common medical conditions and pool maintenance-just to name a few. By including the hands on portion of the course, we were able to try new swimming techniques, learn what worked and what didn't, and get a really good handle on what it felt like to swim dogs of all sizes/conditions.

I can't say enough about how knowledgeable both Jennifer and Lianne are. Not only was the hands on portion of the course extremely useful, it was genuinely a ton of fun! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the ladies at Canine Ripples for their dedication and sincere love for healing animals.

Erica McCann‎, May 2019

I attended the Canine Ripples Hydrotherapy course this past weekend and it was a phenomenal experience. The online course, done prior to the weekend, provided extensive information and knowledge, that allowed me to get the most out of the three day hands on experience.

We worked with some significantly mobility challenged pups which provided a very meaningful, real-life experience. Lianne and Jennifer were right there to guide and assist, and provide tons of useful suggestions and guidance. I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering a career in the growing industry of hydrotherapy.

Carol Alvin‎, May 2019

I can’t rate Canine Ripples and their hydrotherapy practitioner course high enough. I’d give them an 11 out of 10 if I could because they truly put 110% effort into their training.

We have hosted two of their courses here at The Barkitorium. On the first, I was very impressed by their preparation, knowledge, and enthusiastic teaching methods. Then, for the second course, they were even better. Lianne and Jennifer are constantly looking for ways to ensure their students learn as much about providing canine hydrotherapy as possible. The students swam 18 dogs over three days, and for each they did a proper intake with the dog’s owner. After each session, they conducted thorough debriefs to reinforce the students’ understanding.

The theoretical part of the course that each student completes before swimming any dogs is equally well thought out. It provides an amazing array of information that every hydrotherapist needs, from identifying various parts of a dog’s anatomy to proper handling in the spa. But the on-line course is also filled with tips and invaluable suggestions that Lianne and Jennifer have picked up over the years of swimming many, many dogs.
