Online K9 CPD courses & resources to progress skills
Optimising canine mobility and function for dogs in your care
What we offer
Sharing canine clinical skills to improve dogs lives.
Watching Blue Planet and listening to David Attenborough’s eloquent words, whilst seeing a sloth swim across the water to find his future mate in high-definition detail, inspired a real “a-ha” moment. How to bring this immersive experience to canine physiotherapy, clinical hydrotherapy, K9 rehabilitation and musculoskeletal practice?
The music, visuals and inspirational “story telling” took the watcher on a learning journey which was totally absorbing and gripping! K9HS Courses uses this factual and heartfelt way to produce unique canine learning experiences specifically for you.
What others are saying
“Barbara ran an exceptional workshop here in New Zealand for a group of our Veterinary Physiotherapists from NZAVPA (the New Zealand Animal and Veterinary Physiotherapy Association). She overflows with her anatomical, functional biomechanical and neuromotor knowledge, her vast wealth of experience and contagious enthusiasm whilst always making sure the animal’s welfare and best interest is at the centre of all that she does, whether that’s teaching or in her own practice.
We experienced some very positive and deeply emotionally charged connections and interactions with our demo dogs as Barbara taught us her canine Therapeutic Handling techniques. We hope she comes back to New Zealand again soon!”
