PetMassage_™: Kid's Guide to Massaging Dogs

A Great Day-Care & After School Project, Grades K-4

Kids and pets: they live together, play together, teach each other, and help each other develop social and coping skills. Imprinting respect for animals, the power of touch and the power of intention are essentials of early learning that are often overlooked in early childhood curricula. Learning the importance of asking permission, respecting space and appropriate touch are easily transferable skills and perspectives can and will influence the way children interact with each other, their families and their dogs.

The PetMassage_™: Kid's Guide to Massaging Dogs DVD is an entertaining and practical educational project. Use it as the base for an after-school activity! What a fun and practical scout or 4-H project! Kids already know how important their dogs are to them. They know how to pet them and how to play with them. In this lesson everyone learns to expand on what they already know and enjoys learning canine massage. Your class can practice on their own stuffed animals along with the kids on the DVD and then, under your supervision, practice on real live dogs. This 60-minute DVD is a fun lesson that can be used as a stand alone project, or as an augmentation to skills children learn in dog handling and dog training.
