If your dog isn’t comfortable in a group environment, doesn’t travel well, it’s too far to travel or you just prefer this format (you don’t need a reason!) attending a virtual workshop can be the ideal way to learn to massage your dog without leaving the house. You and your dog are in your own environment so are comfortable and your dog may find it easier to settle.
Over the 4 sessions you will learn how to give your dog a 40 minute Swedish massage at home, as well as gain an insight into what is going on under their skin, and how to spot the early signs of muscular discomfort and injury. It is the perfect introduction into how dog massage can significantly benefit your best friends health and is a great way to spend time with your dog.
When you book please let me know a little about your dog such as health concerns, special requirements and if they are sport or working dog. I like to know a little about who we will be working with on the day.
From the comfort of your own home you will learn to help your dog’s mobility, movement, comfort and longevity:
- The benefits of massage – why should I massage my dog? When and how it is of benefit
- What’s underneath your dog’s skin – Find bony landmarks and main muscle groups
- Fundamental massage techniques you can use with your dog – you will be coached through how and where to apply these techniques
- Passive Movement – an amazing technique that helps to promote your dog’s mobility
- Put it all together into a massage routine which you will perform under guidance and have written down to take away with you
You will be working with your dog under my guidance to ensure you are confident and able to perform these professional massage techniques safely and correctly so you can benefit your dogs health for years to come.
Dog
You must provide a dog with you for you to work with on the workshop.
Don’t worry, dogs are not expected
to instantly settle and remain still for the whole session. We will discuss setting up the environment and adaptions. They don’t have to lie flat at all times to massage, we will work with them.
Full details of how to set up will be provided after booking (don’t worry, it doesn’t require anything you won’t have at home). You will need a way to be on video so I can see you and your dog whilst you can see the screen. This means that you will usually need more than just a laptop or tablet, the camera and screen need to be separate to angle them appropriately.
Please read the terms and conditions policy prior to booking.
