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.

About Our Course

Canine Ripples provides online foundational canine hydrotherapy training. It covers key concepts, such as, anatomy, common conditions, canine psychology, handling techniques, underwater treadmills and much more. 

Our course is based on years of experience of having owned our own hydrotherapy facility, which we opened in 2009, and having swum over thousands of dogs, with various swimming goals, many types of conditions, with varying degrees of severity, and all types of body confirmation and personality.

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.

Canine Ripples online training has met the high standards and approval of the International Association of Animal Massage and Canine Water Therapy (IAAMB). We have been Preferred Educational Providers since 2019.

Testimonials

Irene O'Callaghan, veterinary physiotherapist and owner of All Creatures Veterinary Physiotherapy in Cork, Ireland

"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!"
