What will you study?

Learners will develop effective study skills and engage in reflective practice, strengthening their clinical reasoning and critical thinking. They will gain a clear understanding of the importance of ongoing professional development, working within their scope of practice, and adhering to the legal, ethical, and professional standards expected of a canine hydrotherapist.

They will explore the principles of optimal hydrotherapy suite design, sustainable practice models, and current health and safety requirements within the field. Learners will also deepen their understanding of canine behaviour in context, the ethical responsibility of working with consent, and the significance of Therapeutic Handling techniques in hydrotherapy.

In addition, learners will study canine functional anatomy and biomechanics, the pathophysiology of common conditions, and breed‑specific biological considerations. They will demonstrate competence in clinical risk assessment, risk rating, health monitoring, and emergency canine first aid, alongside assessment processes, clinical reasoning, and advanced hydrotherapy treatment techniques.

Finally, learners will develop the ability to evaluate and analyse hydrotherapy water management systems to ensure safe, effective, and high‑quality practice.

What does a typical week look like?

You will spend one day per week on campus engaging with a range of classroom-based activities as well spending time in the hydrotherapy suite with canine patients in the pool and underwater treadmill. You will be required to complete coursework outside of this time.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.

Great ball for heavy chewers
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Great toy for my Doberman. She chews through tennis balls in about 15 minutes but these are very durable. She likes to chase them but also just chew on them.

My dog loves glowing fetch at night!
Style: Glow Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Fantastic. Sturdy. My dog loves them Glow in the dark is great for fetch at night. I keep a flashlight with me because the glow doesn't last really long. But they charge very quickly and are really bright.
