Learn in comfort at home

The K9 Therapy Hub is a monthly canine membership site to actively support you on your canine journey. We have held the original fee of £17 per month since 2020, maintaining our ethical low cost to share up to date learning and resources.

Our online learning offers you the flexibility of when to study, where to study and at your preferred pace. This can be a “dip in and out approach” or used for continuous access to advance canine clinical skills. We have also added our expanded version of the free Canine Clinical Hydrotherapy CPD Overview (30 hours CPD), originally published 1st April 2024.

Research clearly shows that micro learning style can improve canine skills, plus increase the safety in the clinical and home environment. Our vision is to empower you with the tools to achieve your goals, successes and best care for every dog.

We provide high quality CPD courses, resources and active support for everyone within our canine community.

what others are saying

“The K9 Hub is really amazing! K9HS has really outdone themselves creating a space of useful information related to dogs for canine professionals.

I love the “OneShot videos” demonstrating therepeutic techniques and appreciate the articles, containing pertinent scientific studies.

This helps me solidify my knowledge and grow my “clinical skill-set” so I can make a positive impact on the lives of my canine clients and their owners.”

Amanda Jones, Pawsitive Flow, Ohio, USA.

“The K9 Hub is an excellent source of information for all canine therapists.

To be able to find so many exciting and varied topics in one place for your CPD requirements is so helpful.

It also makes it really easy to be able to refer back and find sound clinical reasoning and helpful clinical tips.

Being in touch with Barb through booked calls makes it feel like a real community!”

Karynne Penfold, K9 Aqua Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand

“As a busy working clinician, it’s always challenging to find clinically relevant CPD courses that are flexible to access! The K9 Hub is just that! There is a vast amount of information available, but unlike many other CPD courses, it’s incredible value for money, plus presented in a dynamic and clinically relevant way.

The layout is very user friendly and I can genuinely say that it has had a positive impact on my clinical practice. I would highly recommend it to everyone!”

“The K9 Hub enables me to study and watch topics again. I am dyslexic and so find it necessary to learn and review topics. Being a member helps me to learn at my own speed. The videos and how the information is explained in each topic is easy to follow and understand.

I also can contact Barbara if I am struggling or need support. Barbara always makes me feel relaxed and learning is easy.

K9HS cares about helping me succeed and get the most out of my hydrotherapy knowledge and CPD.

Thank you Barbara, you are our canine hydro Guru!”

Janette Slade, Canine Hydrotherapist

“An animal massage colleague led me to K9HS and I am so glad. Once I viewed a couple of the bitesize canine anatomy webinars and was completely hooked. As someone of moderate experience in small animal massage, the resources are invaluable.

They are a quick and easy time commitment and presented in a wonderful manner. I now find myself thinking back to a video as I work with a dog (“a ha!” moments).

I know my more experienced colleagues enjoy the resources too – credit to Barbara and crew for making the materials so enticing and relevant, it’s two paws up from me!”

Gerri-Lyn, Mutt Massage, BC, Canada

Answers to some of your questions

Why did you create the K9 Therapy Hub?

By listening to your feedback of the challenge to find canine CPD from an experienced clinical perspective, I devised the original  Bitesize Canine Anatomy series, publishing some of it on K9HS YouTube channel. This led to a fantastic response, so we evolved this series first into a Canine CPD Library, then into the interactive, responsive and affordable K9 Therapy Hub.

Living with stage 4 cancer, I am taking this opportunity to expand the Hub in 2025 into a legacy of 43 years of physiotherapeutic clinical skills and learning, packing it full of original courses and resources to share with my community of like minded, dog caring individuals.

How is this different from other memberships?

It’s tough to be at your best every moment when working and caring for dogs. We all need opportunities to review cases, search for solutions, have access to trusted resources, as well as being listened to. Sharing 43 years of professional specialism with you through – 

  • Unlimited access to an interactive Community Space, sharing Micro CPD, facts and resources
  • Regular reviews and new published courses and resources
  • Responsive development to your topic requests

The site is accessible on all devices and you select the topic, set your pace and choose when and where you wish to study. This immersive and progressive approach focused on a shared ethos of working with each dog, is a rare find.  

This multiformat content style includes; customised built resources, recorded webinars, instructional videos, downloadable PDFs, referenced resources and interesting articles presented in an easy to use format.

Do I need to be a tech wiz to navigate the K9 Therapy Hub?

Not at all! The learning space is extremely easy to navigate with a tour, Hub centre and video support. You can also email any questions and get support in our community forum. 

What if I join and it's not the right fit for me?

If at anytime, you want to unsubscribe you can easily do this, which is explained in the FAQs in the Hub Centre and actioned in the Navigation Box on the main Dashboard. You can cancel when you want, plus also easily rejoin again when it works for you.
