Learn PetMassage_™ to Change Careers

by Jonathan Rudinger

Greetings! We welcome the opportunity to share the PetMassage approach to canine massage with you and to teach the gentle skills you will need to propel you toward your dynamic future. Thank you for sharing your dreams with us.

The most exciting people in the world are drawn to our workshops. Our training is for people who would like to work either in veterinary offices as therapists and/or create productive, loving and prosperous businesses helping dogs and their guardians.

PetMassage_™ teaches students to support the self-revelatory, self healing, intuitive abilities of dogs through the use of knowledgeable, compassionate touch, fascia releases, and understanding the use of open body-language communication. Our Foundation workshop includes distance learning modules in anatomy and physiology, to get a basic understanding of the canine body systems from a Western medical model, and Creating and Marketing Your Animal Massage Business, to get you started in your professional career.

Our classes are not for everyone. We attract only those who are inclined to share our philosophies of touch, connection, service, and commitment. We are not entrenched in the physical therapy - medical massage mind-set. Even though our approach is holistic and spiritual, we see our practice as supporting the work of veterinarians and other animal health and wellness colleagues. We incorporate many concepts and practices of TCM and Tai Chi in our massage theory and practice. In our on-site workshops, students learn specific PetMassage_™ theory and techniques hands-on, every day, with live dogs in the classroom and at a local humane society.

We applaud the students who attend our workshops. You are the dreamers and the risk takers. You see the demand. You see the opportunity. You see the need to help dogs and their owners. You see the awesome potential of PetMassage_™. There are no models to follow. Your business will be the results of your personal experiences, intuitive development, your charisma, your drive and persistence; it will be your journey. It will be totally and exclusively a reflection of you, your dream, and your commitment to market yourself and your service. You will be creating your business as you learn.

Our students transitioned themselves from occupations that include practically every vocation imaginable. Our students have put in their time and learned their life lessons. They have the people skills to help dogs and their owners develop better relationships with their pets and through this process enhance everyone's quality of life. They are ready to give back to dogs some of the joy and love they've received. Over 90 percent of our students are women, most of who are tired of working for someone else. They want to create new rewarding careers by expanding their skills and relationships with canines.

This testimonial arrived after this student completed her first workshop with us:

“I wanted to thank you all for inspiring me to do what I feel I was put here on Earth to do! My life is now clear and I am focused on a goal I know in my heart I will achieve. Thank you for helping me find myself! You've truly touched my life!” — Heather H.

This is an exciting time for you as you think about the next part of your life's journey. We encourage you to assess all of the schools that offer instruction in canine massage. When you do, we are confident that you will discover that PetMassage_™ which focuses exclusively on canine massage, offers an exceptional educational experience that will prepare you for beginning your new rewarding career.

You know you can make a difference. Through massage and touch, with one dog and one dog owner at a time, you can, and will, change the world.
