Why Choose CRI?


Many learning options are now in the rehabilitation space. While we think this is amazing for our profession, it may be difficult to choose the best one for you. With over 20 years of experience providing certifications and continuing education, we'd like to share why CRI is considered the top choice.


Hands-on Career Requires Hands-on Training


  • There is only so much you can learn while watching a video. Developing your palpation and treatment techniques requires guidance from an experienced clinician. While videos are nice for saving time away from home, they can not replace invaluable in-person learning.


Collaborative Learning


  • CRI has always encouraged a collaborative learning environment among the veterinary and physical therapy professions. Our students and instructor teams come from diverse backgrounds all contributing strengths to the learning process.


Small Class Sizes


  • We purposefully keep our class sizes small to provide the best learning environment. We utilize our volunteer base of Dog Professors so that students can have real-world experience with tons of hands-on instruction.

Clinical Skills for the Rehabilitation Therapist

Clinical Applications for the Rehabilitation Therapist

Congratulations to the students who have finished their last core module and are an internship away from becoming a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist!

What our Students are saying...


Words cannot quite express my gratitude for this program, and for the high energy and level of commitment displayed from everyone, to ensure we are successful in what we are looking to achieve as CCRTs. The expectation of the high clinical level of knowledge and understanding that we gain, in order to give these canines the best care possible, is truly not something I am able to fully put into words.
