The Business of Canine Rehabilitation

Description

The Business of Canine Rehabilitation course was designed to equip professionals with the knowledge and skills to establish and run a successful canine rehabilitation facility. Participants will learn about market trends, effective business strategies, facility planning, and advanced treatment modalities. Through interactive case studies, real-world applications, and the latest industry insights, this course will prepare you to thrive in the competitive field of canine rehabilitation.

Our lead instructor, Dr. Deb Torraca, created the original “The Business of Canine Rehabilitation Course” in 2013. Much has changed in the world of canine rehabilitation, including the business considerations of owning and operating a canine rehabilitation practice. As a successful canine rehabilitation practice owner, Dr. Torraca has been at the forefront of these changes.

She has teamed up with Anthony Schena to provide the most up to date and relevant information for the business side of canine rehabilitation. The Business of Canine Rehabilitation course is a valuable resource for those that own their own canine rehabilitation practice, future rehabbers/owners, and those that are affiliated with an existing practice that offers canine rehabilitation.
