Continuing Education for Practitioners

Trust & Relationship-Building with Dogs

Without trust, a dog will not allow touch. Without permission to touch, a practitioner cannot provide relief and comfort through massage and bodywork, no matter how skilled they may be.

Broaden your client base and help the dogs who need it most by strengthening your trust-building skills. In this 2-part course, you will learn how to safely, effectively, and respectfully gain a dog's trust and earn permission to touch them.  Techniques in this class can be used successfully with almost any dog, including those who are shy, fearful, stressed, anxious, or poorly socialized.
