At about this time John and I met, John having rabbits, tropical fish and koi - he and my animals soon became inseparable. After a couple of years we decided that we would like to have our own pool for our dogs. John undertook the design and construction of our pool, it was decided to have a 3m x 6m x 1.4m pool, allowing hydrotherapists to be in the water with the dog, so a full range of movement could be obtained and if needed 2 hydrotherapists to be in the pool with a dog. We looked at both the requirements of NARCH and CHA and undertook our training in 2009 / 2010, both of us gaining NVQ Level 3 Diploma from the ABC in Hydrotheraphy for small animals. We wanted courses that incorporated canine anatomy & physiology, pool water management, first aid, COSHH and the principles and practices of hydrotheraphy for small animals. We routinely update our first aid for small animals and continue to go on courses to expand our knowledge, WaterHounds Hydrotherapy are now qualified in Functional Rehabilitation and Passive Range of Movement. These we are able to offer as 'land based' sessions, please ask us for details; aspects of these are also incorporate into every hydrotherapy session.
