Trust & Relationship-Building with Dogs
This online course is the first in our certification series and the first step on your canine massage journey. TRB Part 1 prepares you for Part 2, the in-class Trust & Relationship-Building with Dogs workshop where you'll get hands-on practice learning how to build trust with a variety of amazing dogs.
Not interested in certification right now? You can still take this online course! It's ideal for everyone who lives or works with dogs.
From the comfort of your home or office, this online course will lay the foundation for working hands-on with dogs who may be stressed, anxious, fearful, shy, or inadequately socialized.
The theories and techniques found in our Trust and Relationship-Building with Dogs course are at the heart of everything we do as therapists: if we don't effectively and respectfully interact with dogs to earn their trust, then massage and other bodywork modalities are not possible.
