About Certificate of Course Completion:
PetMassage™ is recognized by the NCBTMB (National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork) as continuing education provider #285813-00. PetMassage™ is also a founding member of the IAAMB (International Association of Animal Massage and Bodywork) and is recognized by the ABMP (Association of Bodywork and Massage Professionals) and the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association).
The only certifications available are those offered by schools for having completed their courses. These documentations are proof that you have satisfied their course requirements. The schools prove themselves to outside agencies by demonstrating that they can teach at a level considered professional by massage and bodywork peers.
At this time there is no recognized national certification and only a few progressive states offer credentialing for animal massage therapy.
Upon completion of the requirements at each level, students are awarded Certificates of Course Completion.

Workshops at a Glance - 2007-2008 Schedule
7-day Foundation Workshop
This is for massage therapists and pet care professionals, as well as people
who are in "vocational transition" and would like to learn PetMassage™ to
create businesses. In this course, students prepare before the workshop, by learning the content of the Effective PetMassage™ for Dogs videos/DVD's and manual, Creating and Marketing your Animal Massage Business Book, and Dog Anatomy Coloring Atlas. This gives you a foundation for the large volume of information you will receive through (discussion style) lectures and individual, hands-on instruction working with dogs.
We discuss, demonstrate, and practice and then you return-demonstrate your understanding and practice of massage, energy and body mechanics, theory and techniques, legal issues, business ethics, and marketing. The instruction is supportive, encouraging and geared to helping you to discover and develop your own personal massage form. The course includes modules on anatomy and physiology of the dog and how PetMassage™ can affect body systems. Also included are basic animal-human communication skills and a field trip to the ASPCA to hone your skills while helping the dogs in residence there. Certificates are awarded upon completion of the workshop, a take-home test and documentations of ten canine massages.
