About Katie Price

After achieving her Diploma in Canine Psychology and Level 3 qualification in Professional Canine Daycare and Boarding, Katie decided to move to Canine Hydrotherapy as a way to help care for our furry friends. She completed her Level 3 in Small Animal Hydrotherapy at the renowned Hawksmoor Training Centre whilst volunteering at local hydrotherapy centres for real-world experiences. Katie has since completed training in Level 5 Canine Clinic Enrichment Techniques and Level 5 Canine Therapeutic Handling Techniques with K9HS. These qualifications allow Katie to provide a highly proprioceptive treatment whilst building a trusting and consenting bond with clients’ dogs.

She is now working towards her Level 4 Diploma in Canine Hydrotherapy to elevate the services she can provide animals. Katie runs her own hydrotherapy centre, Rosecroft Canine Rehabilitation Centre located in Stafford where she focuses primarily on rehabilitation cases and working in a consent-based manner.
