Canine Hydrotherapy PLUS Course
We love it when students decide to do both courses as we know as a therapist you are going to be able to help so many more dogs with your dual qualification and we thank you for your extra commitment to learning and helping canines.
Below is the information about completing your second course with the Canine Health & Wellbeing Academy which we call your PLUS Course in Canine Hydrotherapy.
How does the PLUS Course in Canine Hydrotherapy Work?
Benefits of dual qualifications
As a dual qualified therapist you have more treatment options available to help more dogs recover quicker and live longer PLUS it makes you more employable in clinics and canine businesses
Prerequisites
You MUST have already enrolled into or graduated from the Certificate in Canine Remedial Massage Course before enrolling into the Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy PLUS Course.
Course Modules
The first 11 modules of each of the courses are currently the same as they are the foundational modules covering Canine Anatomy and common Canine Pathologies. You MUST complete modules 12-14 prior to the scheduled workshop date (including assignments).
Workshop
The Canine Hydrotherapy live virtual workshop for the March 25 intake is scheduled for 29-31 October 2025.
** If you enrol into the PLUS course and don't complete the required pre-workshop modules (or can't attend the workshop) you will need to defer into the next intake (if there is a place available) which will incur deferment fees - refer to Student Handbook for details **
(RPL) Recognised Prior Learning
If you have already completed (or are completing at the same time) the Certificate in Canine Remedial Massage then the marks from those first 11 foundational modules will be brought across to your Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy Course.
Unless it has been more than 12 months since the scheduled completion of your Certificate in Canine Remedial Massage Course. In this instance, you would need to complete those modules again.
Hours of Study Required
If you are completing both courses together then for the first 11 modules you will only require the same amount of study per week you are currently doing. Once you reach module 12 onwards you will require double that time for study per week (based on the average student's study requirements).
If you are a previous graduate then you have between when you enrol and the scheduled workshop date to complete modules 12 - 14 although we do recommend reviewing modules 1-11 too as a refresher. ** If it has been more than 12 months since your course scheduled completion date you will need to complete all modules 1-14 prior to attending the workshop **
Commencement
You will gain access to both courses at the same time on the scheduled course start date. Or if the course has already started you will gain immediate access upon payment.
Timing
It's important to secure your place in the PLUS course as soon as possible before the course sells out (Michelle's courses always do). You can add a PLUS course on later in the year however that is only possible if a place becomes available.
Price
Because of the first 11 foundation modules being the same a discount of AU$1500 off the standard course price has been applied to the paid in full enrolment of your PLUS Course. There is also a payment plan available. See below for details.

What some of our dual graduates have to say:
"Some of the things I loved about the courses: The fact that it has been an avenue to assist me to have a future working with and helping improve the quality of dogs' lives. The course platform was so easy to navigate. The support and assistance throughout were exceptional. The Q and A sessions were an amazing opportunity to learn directly from Michelle. The workshops were so valuable for bringing together the theory and practical, especially with such a variety of canine case studies."
- Angela Pollard, Canine Remedial Massage Therapist AND Canine Hydrotherapist
“I am delighted to have completed my certificates in Canine Remedial Massage and Canine Hydrotherapy and to be starting to practice as a canine therapist, helping dogs to feel their most comfortable.”
– Minnesha – Canine Hydro and Remedial Massage Therapist
"I appreciate all the help and consideration you and your team have provided for me. The Courses were both professional and yet personal - not always possible from my own experience. I will forward a pic of myself with my Certificates soon.
- Margie (Hydrotherapy & Massage graduate)
"Please extend my sincere thanks and gratefulness to Michelle, and all of the team. It has been an amazing learning experience that I have gained so much more than I ever imagined I would. I will endeavour to continue to learn, practice and hopefully deliver a beneficial service at the high standard Michelle has taught us."
