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!”

Amy Loveless, H2O Canine Therapy Ltd, Somerset, UK

“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?

We listened to feedback from therapists worldwide who are challenged to find canine CPD from a clinical perspective. As experienced solution makers, we devised our Bitesize Canine Anatomy series and published part of this on our K9HS YouTube channel. This led to an amazing reaction and we followed through to launch our successful Canine CPD Library to support working therapists.

Its been a natural pathway to revolutionise and evolve these, offering the complete CPD clinical experience through the K9 Therapy Hub, perfect for canine therapists. 

How is this different from other memberships?

We have integrated key professional elements into the site for our members. It’s tough to be at your best every moment in a clinical practice setting. We all need confidential opportunities to discuss cases, search for solutions, have access to trusted and experienced mentorship, as well as to be listened to. Our professional status and ethical choices linked to over 40 years of clinical experience is shared with our members by:

  • Unlimited access to our interactive private community, sharing ideas and resources with like minded therapists
  • Office hours booked for 1 to 1 professional discussions with canine specialist Barbara Houlding
  • Regular new course releases and launches

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 method using relevant, species specific techniques and focused on a shared practice ethos you feel is right, is a rare find.  

Our multiformat style includes customised built resources, webinar events, instructional videos, downloadable PDFs, referenced information, interesting articles presented in an easy to use and with unlimited access. This is integrated to our friendly and supportive community and a one to one personal approach with each member of our inner community.
