Course Information

Just as massage therapy has its benefits for humans, the same can be said for your dog. Give a soothing massage to your pooch may help them relax, increase oxygenation, relieve their pain, improve joint flexibility and immune system.

Help your dog to live a longer, healthier life through massage also works to strengthen the bond between you and your canine companion.

Learning Outcomes

You will learn the techniques to perform massage on your canine companion which not only improves its physical well-being, but also its emotional state.
