Due to demand, we have also published an expanded version in our K9 Therapy Hub.
Our online course is a multi formatted and interactive experience, which includes our unique instructional videos, video links, webinar replays, clinical notes, informative scripted sections, clinical tool templates, articles, downloadable pdfs and quizzes.
