Warden Road Eastchurch Isle of Sheppey ME12 4HA Kent
Cherrytree Canine Hydrotherapy Centre is dedicated to the rehabilitation and fitness of dogs.

Cherrytree is on the Isle of Sheppey and has a 17' by 9' indoor heated pool, the warmth of the water providing pain relief, improving blood circulation and relaxing muscles and stiffness. The water allows for zero impact exercise to be performed which does not put pressure on painful joints and muscles.

Before each and every swim the dog is given a health check and assessed as to its suitability to swim on that day. All dogs wear a buoyancy aid and a hydrotherapist will get in with the dog if needed. Swim jets can be used for the dog to swim against to provide extra resistance if necessary. The length of the session will depend on the dogs condition, needs and ability.

A ramp is used for dogs to get in and out of the pool and the water is sanitised and tested throughout the day to ensure perfect water quality.

Cherrytree Hydrotherapy Centre is a member of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association and as members strictly adhere to stringent standards for professionalism and quality in canine hydrotherapy.

Cherrytree will work closely with your vet and to maintain high standards and ensure the best treatment insist on a veterinary referral. Your vet will pass on your dog's medical history so treatment is tailored specifically to their needs.

Contact Cherrytree or take a look at cherrytreehydrotherapy.co.uk to find out more about the process and get booked in.

Sit'n'Paws Training

Medway, Kent
Hi, I’m Andi, a qualified dog trainer under the IMDT and the proud owner of Sit n Paws Dog Training. My journey into dog training began when I rescued a four-month-old puppy with significant behavioural challenges, including reactivity. After attending positive reinforcement-based training classes and seeing first-hand the transformation in my own dog, I knew I wanted to help others achieve the same success.

I dedicated three years to training as an instructor before qualifying as a dog trainer, and in 2019, I took the plunge and launched Sit n Paws, which has been helping owners and their dogs ever since.

My Training Approach & What I Offer

I believe that dog training should be fun, fair, and effective, using force-free, science-based methods to build a strong, positive relationship between dogs and their owners. I specialise in teaching real-life skills that help dogs navigate the human world with confidence.

I cover Swale and Medway, offering:

  • 8-week Puppy Life Skills courses (for pups under 6 months) – setting a strong foundation for well-mannered, confident dogs.
  • 8-week Dog Life Skills courses (for dogs 6 months and older) – ensuring older pups and adult dogs learn essential behaviours for everyday life.
  • Outdoor group training courses in Upchurch – training in real-life environments.
  • 1-2-1 training sessions & pay-as-you-go classes – tailored support for individual needs, whether it’s loose lead walking, recall, reactivity, or general manners.
  • NEW: Indoor Puppy Training Studio in Cliffe Woods – I’m currently trialling a new indoor space specifically for puppy training, offering a controlled and comfortable environment for young pups to learn and socialise.

Why Choose Sit n Paws?

  • Outdoor training in real-life environments
  • Currently trialling a brand-new indoor puppy training studio at Cliffe Woods– ideal for early socialisation in a safe, controlled space.
  • Small class sizes – so you and your dog get the attention you deserve
  • A friendly, supportive approach – helping owners understand their dogs and get the best out of them.
  • Training that fits into your everyday life – from settling in a café to walking nicely on lead.
  • More Than Just Training – Sit n Paws Doggy Deli

As well as training, I also run the Sit n Paws Doggy Deli, a mobile dog treat van offering a range of natural, high-quality dog treats. Whether you’re looking for training rewards, long-lasting chews, or something special for your pup, I’ve got you covered!

My Passion for Dogs & Continued Learning

Dog training is always evolving, and I’m committed to staying up to date with the latest scientific research, training techniques, and behavioural studies. I regularly attend seminars, workshops, and CPD courses to ensure I’m always offering the best possible training advice.

I love nothing more than helping owners understand their dogs, build confidence, and experience those “lightbulb moments” when everything clicks. If you’d like to find out more about how I can help you and your dog, just get in touch!

  • Covering Swale & Medway
  • Group training in Upchurch | 1-2-1 sessions available.
  • Helping dogs and their owners live their best lives together!
