Welcome to the Canine Rehabilitation Institute!

The Canine Rehabilitation Institute provides veterinary and physical therapy professionals with top-notch training in canine rehabilitation. Classes are small and learning is hands-on with dogs on site providing real-life lessons in anatomy and biomechanics. Our instructors are recognized leaders in their fields – and they love to teach. They have also managed busy referral practices so they understand the business as well as the science of canine rehabilitation.

We have two certification programs: Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) for Veterinarians and Physical Therapists, and Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant (CCRA) for Veterinary Technicians and Physical Therapist Assistants.

We also offer a variety of continuing education opportunities year-round including Sports Medicine, Aquatic Therapy, The Canine Spine, Current Techniques in Canine Orthopedics, Splinting and Bracing, Nutrition, and The Business of Canine Rehabilitation.

All certified canine rehabilitation professionals are welcome to attend our courses, whether they are pursuing additional certification or interested in specific continuing education topics.

Courses are offered at convenient locations in Florida, Maryland, and at Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

Check the calendar for dates, locations and availability.

We are proud to be working in partnership with Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences to provide continuing education for veterinary professionals. U.S. News and World Report currently ranks Colorado State second best among the nation’s veterinary medical schools. Its Professional Veterinary Medicine program is No. 1 among veterinary schools in federal research funding.
