House of Hound Hydrotherapy

House of Hound Hydrotherapy 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

Little Vincent’s Big Adventure Begins! 🐾💦

At just 3 months old, Vincent the Jack Russell Terrier had his very first introduction to water session with us last week! 💙 After a fun and positive first swim in the big pool, he was all cuddled up for some well-earned snuggles.

Vincent is getting ready for an exciting life in Switzerland, where he’ll be joining his new family on boat trips! 🚤 That’s why these early water sessions are so important—helping him build confidence, develop strong swimming skills, and ensure he feels safe and happy around water from a young age.

Introducing puppies to water in a controlled and supportive environment:
✔️ Builds confidence and reduces fear
✔️ Strengthens muscles and coordination
✔️ Helps develop natural swimming ability
✔️ Makes future water experiences stress-free and fun!

We can’t wait to see where Vincent’s adventures take him next! 🏔️🌊

The Importance of Regular Physiotherapy for Dogs After Spinal Surgery 🐾💙

Meet Jef - a lovely pug cross relaxing for his physiotherapy session with Lisa, following spinal surgery!

Recovering from spinal surgery is a journey, and regular physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping dogs regain strength, mobility, and confidence. Through tailored exercises, and therapeutic techniques, physiotherapy supports:

✅ Improved muscle strength and coordination 🏋️‍♂️
✅ Better posture and balance ⚖️
✅ Reduced pain and stiffness 🩹
✅ Increased mobility and flexibility 🏃‍♀️
✅ A happier, more comfortable life! 🐶💛

If your dog has had spinal surgery, physiotherapy can make all the difference in their rehabilitation journey!

📍 Book a session with our ACPAT chartered physiotherapist at House of Hound Hydrotherapy and give your dog the care they deserve. Sessions with Lisa get booked up quickly!

Welcome back, Daphne! 🐾💛

This gorgeous 8-month-old Show Labrador is back following her introduction to water and puppy swims last year to continue her preparation for Crufts!

We utilised our stance analyser to assess Daphne's weight distribution, to help us pinpoint which areas to focus on in her conditioning plan! 💪🏻 📊

Next time, Daphne will be introduced to the underwater treadmill to help build even muscle tone and ensure her gait is correct for the show ring. 🚶‍♀️💦 Balanced movement is key to showcasing a dog’s structure and performance, and muscle imbalances can develop if they are always worked on one sides

Daphne is also booked in for physiotherapy to support her progress and ensure she’s feeling her best. 🏆

Is your show dog ready for the ring? Ensuring correct gait and even muscle development is crucial for performance. Dogs that consistently work on one side can develop uneven musculature, which can affect their movement and overall balance. Our show conditioning programmes are designed to optimise fitness, strength, and movement, giving your dog the best chance to shine.

🐾 Happy Golden Retriever Day! 🐾

Golden Retrievers are known for their friendly nature, loyalty, and love of life—but they’re also prone to a few common health conditions that can affect their mobility and comfort as they age. 💛🐕

Goldens are active dogs who love to run, jump, and play, but their boundless energy can sometimes lead to joint issues, arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, and ligament injuries—especially as they get older. They’re also prone to obesity, which can put extra strain on their joints and affect their mobility.

That’s where we come in! At House of Hound Hydrotherapy, we offer:
💦 Hydrotherapy – A low-impact, weightless way to strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and aid recovery.
🩺 Physiotherapy – Hands-on treatments from our ACPAT chartered physiotherapist to help relieve pain, improve movement, and support rehabilitation.
🔴 Laser Therapy – A non-invasive way to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and speed up healing.

Whether your Golden needs rehabilitation, weight management, or fitness conditioning, our team is here to help them stay active, comfortable, and happy for as long as possible! 💪🏻

Our own Freida, a Golden Retriever x Labrador (who often gets mistaken for a full black Lab!), loves a good swim—and we know many Goldens do too!
