Dear Chrissie

I wanted to write to you to thank you so much for all your help with training our puppy. You clearly have a real understanding of animal behaviour and once you explained things to us it helped us to understand what we needed to do in order to establish the proper hierarchy and to train our puppy into a well behaved and happy dog.
We have followed your instructions that you left us for several weeks now and the routine that you put in place for us has been a huge help in house breaking Gracie as well as dealing with her barking whenever she wants attention. We are working on being the "top dog" which I think will be an ongoing battle! We will be in touch to let you know how we are getting on and I am sure we will have many other questions along the way.

Thank you again,

Mrs. M. Gardner
“Earliest return to maximum function,” is our aim as orthopaedic surgeons. Whether post-operatively, post injury or to counteract signs of ageing and obesity, hydrotherapy is an invaluable yet largely underused tool to us as veterinarians.

I have been consistently impressed with the results Chrissie has achieved through hydrotherapy at Waterworks. My patients are rehabilitated faster and my clients are delighted with her personal care and unquestionable expertise.

Chrissie Yggmark has helped several of my patients following orthopaedic surgery, to rehabilitate them as well as geriatrics with arthritis. Some of these dogs have never swum before, but they have all succumbed to Chrissies persuasion and positively enjoyed the experience.

Chrissie has known our German Wirehaired Pointers Molly and Logan almost as long as we have had them. They are both besotted with her and treat her as their surrogate mother. Although they are lovely dogs they have had an extremely difficult adolescence, further complicated by their rather flawed temperament. Chrissie has guided us through very difficult times of learning how to live with them both, and gave us hope and encouraged us to persevere when we were on the point of giving up.

Chrissie has that special touch with dogs and they in return respond to her. We have only her to thank that we believed it was possible for them to change, and now have two delightful lively dogs.

My standard schnauzer, Bogey, is 16 (and a third!) and has been having regular hydro-therapy sessions for nearly a year now. Without doubt they have helped his mobility and general well being enormously. Whereas this time last year he could hardly get around, now he has far less problems. In fact we just returned from a holiday in Tuscany where he had a great time--and enjoyed the swimming pool! Certainly without the exercise that Bogey gets from swimming, I doubt that he would still be with us. Also, he loves his sessions with Chrissie. I whole heartedly recommend hydro-therapy for any dog with mobility problems.

Thanks so much for the care and treatment given to my 12 year old Jack Russell, Coco.

As you know she had a problem with her hind leg that was causing her quite some pain. I tried every sort of treatment from homeopathic, acupuncture, veterinary (painkillers), chiropractic, and swimming therapy with you.

What really produced obvious results was the swimming, together with the chiropractic. The end result has been that although I was on the point of submitting Coco to orthopaedic surgery, with suspected bone abnormalities and a possible cruciate ligament injury, she has now made a very good recovery and does not need any further interventions, although I will still bring her for some swimming as it is so beneficial.

Many, many thanks
