Owner - Lisa Woodside, DVM, CCRT, CVSMT
Dr. Lisa Woodside graduated from the University of Nebraska in 2005 with a degree in Animal Science. She then continued pursing her dream of becoming a Veterinarian and graduated from Kansas State College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009. In 2010 her childhood dog, Max - a chocolate lab, began having more trouble getting around. She decided to take him for underwater treadmill therapy, because she'd heard that was helpful. After a couple months she realized there was more to this "rehab stuff" than just underwater treadmill. She went on to get certified in canine rehab through the Canine Rehab Institute and certified in veterinary spinal manipulation through the The Healing Oasis Wellness Center. Dr. Woodside's main interests are in dog sports, specifically injury prevention (fitness and conditioning) and post-surgical recovery.

Dr. Woodside currently has four dogs and one cat. She has Tattle (a one year old Domestic Short-Hair), Vex (a ten year old Miniature American Shepherd), Kate (a ten year old Border Collie), Favor (a six year old border collie), and Seeker (a Border Collie pup). Vex trialed in agility in UKI, USDAA, and AKC at the Masters/Championship level. He was a Grand Prix finalist at Cynosports in 2021 (5th Place) and he has his ADCH in USDAA. He is now retired from agility and learning about shed hunt and loving it! Favor trials in agility, Kate is a sheep herding dog, and Seeker is training in sheep herding!
