December 2010: Chief Glen Dog Hydrotherapy Pool Refurbishment Project   This project took 4 days over the Christmas and New Year period while the business was closed for the festive period. Here are some before, during and after photo's of the project. Day 1 - Clean, Sand Down Pool Walls & Prep Works and First Coat of Pool Paint       Day 2 - Second Pool Paint Coat Inside & Out     Should your dog require Hydrotherapy Treatment Mandy and her team will be able to assist you further with any questions, advice and bookings. They offer a
friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The hydrotherapy pool can be of great benefit to a dog
recovering from a surgical procedure i.e. cruciate ligament repair, broken limbs or a spinal
injury. It may also assist in controlling obesity, by allowing the dog to swim for fun, playing with toys, while at the same time providing exercise. For the working dog it aids in building muscle and keeping the dog fit.
As there were no other pools in the area, Mandy opened Chief Glen Hydrotherapy Pool in 2003, after she completed the Hawksmoor course in hydrotherapy and pool water management. It was the perfect job for Mandy as she had 10 years experience with working and breeding search dogs. She is also British Institute trained for working dogs and has 25 years experience in Falconry, where she offers day courses. Mandy also has 2 years experience in horse hydrotherapy, after swimming her horse at a pool after it broke a bone in its hock. After being assessed by 6 vets and The Royal Veterinary College, Mandy was passed to swim Military Dogs. The pool took off from here and Vets started to realise the benefits that Hydrotherapy has. Mandy had some help when she first started from Becks who assisted her in the poolroom, preparing dogs for their swims. Although Mandy is away a lot with Explosive Search work, she is still very much involved with the day to day running of the pool, and is always available for questions and advice. We have a brilliant team here at Chief Glen and we all work together to provide the best possible service for our clients and their dogs.
