Join us for comprehensive, immersive courses designed for credentialed and certified physical therapists practicing in canine physical therapy who want to confidently assess and treat canine patients. These hands-on, evidence-based advanced CE courses are ideal for clinicians ready to deepen their expertise in canine assessment and treatment, expand clinical reasoning, improve outcomes, and confidently apply new techniques in real-world patient care.
CanineIQ advanced continuing education goes beyond attendance-based learning.
Our in-person courses emphasize observed hands-on labs, clinical reasoning, and individualized instructor feedback—because working with canine patients requires more than technique memorization.
