Canine Hydrotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre, Yorkshire
Fun, Fitness, Weight Management, Physio, Laser This can be in either the pool or the treadmill.
House of Hound is a NARCH registered hydrotherapy centre which offers both aquatic and land based therapy with additional weekly Class 3b laser clinics. All our sessions are carried out by a fully qualified hydrotherapist or physiotherapist (ACPAT, NAVP) and we offer only safe water sessions where dogs are at the centre of the session. Whether this is for a dog who has a diagnosed condition, getti
ng older in age, or a puppy straight from their first injections - we can cater for all dogs. We offer private sessions for owners and their pets, and you will never share the pool or treadmill with other clients dogs during your session. If your dog has a diagnosed condition, we liaise with your vets to obtain the medical history and offer full assessments, which allow us to consider how best to treat your animal. For those with fit, active and healthy dogs - we can offer introduction to water sessions for dogs who are not very confident. Those dogs who are more confident and want to come for exercise, mental stimulation or to improve muscle or stamina - we offer a more tailored exercise session, based on the ability and breed. This is also suitable for sporting or working dogs. We never work the dog beyond their ability and only set them up to achieve! Each session is individually tailored to your dog - we work with owners to find out exactly what your dog is like. Our physiotherapy sessions are offered with ACPAT Chartered Physio - Lisa Emerson, who has been with House of Hound since the opening in 2017. Lisa is well established in both her human and animal physiotherapy. She predominantly treats horses and dogs - but also offers horse rider clinics and other animal treatment - including cats and farm animals. Hydrotherapy sessions are facilitated by either Victoria (Hydrotherapist) Louise or Zoe who are both (Hydrotherapist and Veterinary Physio - MSc)
Each session is carried out in a therapeutic way, with force free handling. We use positive techniques, to guide your dog within their session. Owners will be talked through each process by the therapist. Victoria also offers Mantrailing UK introduction workshops and training. This is getting dogs to sniff and track a human scent. It's great fun for owners and dogs alike and brilliant to both focus and tire your dog. Sessions are advertised on both social media and the website with booking and more information available there. Scent workshops are also available for those who would like to work their dog on a specific scent. Victoria is a City and Guilds qualified scent instructor and has also qualified with UK Sniffer Dogs and Scent Work UK. These are offered via our sister business Sniff and Trail UK. We can teach right from the basics up to competition level. Info is also on social pages and the website

Happy National Dog Day to the ones who make our hearts full, our floors muddy, and our days a whole lot brighter 💙
Today we’re celebrating every dog who walks (or swims!) through our doors! From the cheeky puppies just finding their feet to the golden oldies who teach us so much. 🙌🏻
A special mention to our much-loved Minnie, who we sadly lost recently at 15 years old. Her gentle soul helped shape this place and we will always carry her with us 🐾🐞
Here’s to all the dogs... strong, silly, a little unsure, sweet — you deserve the world.
Whether they come for fitness, rehab, confidence or comfort, we’re honoured to be part of their journey. 💪🏻

🐾 Helping Local Doggies in Need 🐾
Some of our friends are running an ongoing appeal to support families who are struggling to feed and care for their dogs.
Times are tough, and every little helps. ❤️
If you’ve got any:
✨ In-date food your dog won’t eat
✨ Toys or equipment in good condition (bowls, leads, collars etc.)
✨ Or if you’d like to chip in with a small donation
…we’ll happily collect them at the centre and make sure they go straight where they’re needed most.
No dog should ever go hungry
– and no owner should have to choose between feeding themselves or their best friend.
Together, we can make a real difference. 🐶💙
Iʼm raising money to Support Mabel’s Meals. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

☀️ Hot Summer Walks: Keeping Your Dog Safe 🐾
We’re in the midst of another heatwave here in Yorkshire, and while the sunshine is lovely, hot weather can be dangerous for our dogs. Our top tips:
🐶 Walk early morning or late evening when it’s cooler
🐾 Stick to shaded routes and grassy areas
💧 Bring plenty of fresh water for your dog
🌡 Check the ground with your hand — if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for their paws
🛑 Avoid strenuous exercise in high temperatures
Keeping walks cool and safe means your dog stays happy, healthy, and tail-wagging all summer long! 💛
