Get More Out of Massage
You'll learn many of the same fundamental massage techniques that professional canine massage therapists use. Massage is more than techniques, though! To ensure that your massage is safe, effective, and respectful, you'll also learn observation skills, palpation, and even a little canine anatomy.
A Gift for Your Dog and Yourself
Providing massage at home to your own dog strengthens the bond you share with them. It's a gift you give to your companion, but also to yourself. Giving massage can be just as relaxing and gratifying as receiving one. It's a win/win situation!
