Practice what you learned in the Foundation courses by taking the Case Study Practicum to solidify the essentials. We have generally witnessed better success and understanding with students who complete the Case Study Practicum at this stage. 

You are eligible to take the Case Study Practicum after completing Canine Massage Fundamentals, but we recommend that you wait to take it until after The Physical Dog, which will better prepare you for the hands-on work you'll be doing.

You will have 6 months to complete this 30-hour Case Study Practicum. These sessions do not count toward the Advanced Courses case study requirements, as explained in Step 3. 

The Case Study Practicum fee is $250.
