I had the absolute pleasure of joining Courtney today from Cordial Canines to learn more about how we can structure, be consistent and give that all needed leadership and balance to our canine companions.
As you can see from the short video, it started well and I truly believe it will continue down this road with Courtney’s input and Mum’s total devotion to this lad who is 100% worth it.
Being allowed to be part of this experience helps me to handle better at our hydrotherapy center gives us clearer understanding and produces better results.
Thank you to all involved for allowing me to be part of today.

It’s been a few years since opening day 🥹 there has been a few hurdles and a few blips but mainly much learning and many many wins

Proud of us.

Best teddy bear I’ve ever seen!!

As it’s getting closer to winter after a hydrotherapy session in the warm water, we would recommend bringing a nice snuggly dressing gown or coat to pop on for the journey home 🥰

Can you recommend a particular brand? and pop a photo here of your dog, modeling their particular dressing gown or coat 😊

After hydrotherapy, rest and warmth are very important for your dog’s recovery and overall well-being. Here’s why:

🐾 Importance of Rest
•Muscle recovery: Hydrotherapy works muscles in a low-impact but highly effective way. Rest allows those muscles to repair and strengthen.
•Avoiding overexertion: Dogs may feel tired but still want to play. Structured rest prevents strain or injury.
•Consolidation of therapy benefits: The body needs downtime to process and adapt to the work done in the water.

🐾 Importance of Warmth
•Prevents chills: Dogs can lose body heat quickly after being wet, even if the water was warm. This is especially important for senior dogs, puppies, or those with thin coats.

When you’ve had all the dogs in today and they all want to play!! 😂

🐾 Using play during canine hydrotherapy isn’t just about making the session fun—it has real therapeutic and behavioral benefits. Here are the main advantages:

1. Reduces Stress and Anxiety
•Hydrotherapy can feel strange or intimidating at first. Incorporating toys, games, or gentle play helps dogs relax and build positive associations with the water.
•Play shifts their focus from fear or discomfort to something enjoyable.

2. Encourages Natural Movement
•Chasing a toy, paddling toward a ball, or reaching for a floating object encourages dogs to use their full range of motion.
•These movements can improve joint mobility, flexibility, and muscle activation in a way that feels less forced than structured exercises.

3. Builds Confidence
•Play rewards curiosity and exploration.
•Dogs who might otherwise hesitate in the water often gain confidence more quickly when play is part of the process.

4. Enhances Motivation & Engagement
•Treats and toys can be used as positive reinforcement to keep the dog engaged, especially in longer sessions.
•Motivation through play helps them exercise more effectively without feeling pressured.

5. Improves Physical Outcomes
•Games encourage sustained movement, leading to improved cardiovascular fitness, strength, and endurance.
•Play-driven activities often result in greater calorie burn and muscle use compared to passive movement.

6. Strengthens Human–Dog Bond
•Shared enjoyment of play deepens trust between the dog and therapist/owner.
•This bond makes future sessions smoother and more effective.

7. Mental Stimulation
•Hydrotherapy isn’t only physical it can be mentally tiring. Play adds an element of fun problem solving (retrieving, chasing, targeting) that helps satisfy a dog’s need for enrichment.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

✅ In short: Play turns hydrotherapy from a clinical rehab session into a positive, rewarding experience. It boosts compliance, reduces stress, and enhances both the physical and psychological benefits of therapy.
