I have a new suggestion re: the PetMassage for Kids™ program. Teach it to the kids at summer camps. A tangent to that suggestion is that there are many summer camps for adults and their dogs. This programs can be for their kids and the adults will learn a little bit of PetMassage™ too.

Dogs Kids PetMassage™ Course

Just why is this course so important? Children learn the skills of awareness, which will keep them safe as they see how an animal is responding to them. They learn compassion, taking them out of themselves as the center of the universe. They learn the power and healing effects of intentional touch. This socially appropriate touch honors the space, the body, and the emotional states of their dogs.

The PetMassage for Kids™ program teaches children the basic hands-on skills of canine massage and principles of dog handling safety. This course will reduce the incidence of dog bites in the U.S.

The book, DVD and audio CD, individually or as a three-part set is the perfect gift for any child who loves dogs. The Dogs Kids PetMassage book by itself, at only $16.95 is at a great price point. All three are only $45, plus we’ll include the official PetMassage patch, for FREE!

Order the entire PetMassage for Kids™ program. It includes the PetMassage: A Kids Guide to Massaging Dogs DVD, the book, Dogs Kids PetMassage, and the audio CD and the curricula. The PetMassage for Kids™ Curricula is sold separately. The Five Day plan is 3 hours per day and/or Ten week plan is one hour per week are great programs for after school, summer school, home school, camp, and scouts. One for $50, or purchase both for $75. Call 800-779-1001. Order online

We’ll even include a free official PetMassage patch so the kids can identify you as the expert. The package including one curriculum, and either the five day course or the ten week course, is only $95. If you would like both the curricula, the price, including the DVD, book and CD is only $120.

Thought you’d like to read a testimonial:

“This gentle book offers encouragement and instructions for things we can do right now, to help us dog owners during times of our greatest grief and despair. These are times when we too could benefit from a comforting hug, a wet nose and a compassionate floppy ear.”
-DP, Chicago

TRANSITIONS is the chronicle of the intuitive massage that I shared with Oskar, our boxer, the day before he was euthanized. During the session we developed a psychic connection in which we were able to share memories of a few of the inconsequential pleasant times we spent together. With my hand resting on various parts of his body, I would recall simple events such as noticing a stick on the sidewalk and watching Oskar walk over to nose it. As the impression of the memory filled my mind, Oskar twitched. I would like to believe that we were experiencing the psychically aware bonding synergy that allowed us to tie up loose emotional strands and bid each other our sincere “Adios, mi amigo,” or more correctly, “Hasta mañana, mi corazon.”

If you know anyone who is in the process of dealing with all the uncomfortable questions and emotions that come up while their dog’s transitioning from this plane to the next, get them this book. Order your copies for $20 each.
