PetMassage™ Workshops
7-day Foundation Workshop
This is for massage therapists and canine care professionals, as well as
people who are in "vocational transition" and would like
to learn PetMassage™ to create businesses. This workshop is a good
start and/or continuation of your canine-and human-massage education. It
focuses on the skills and information you will need to professionally and
confidently work with a variety of dog issues. You will learn to massage
dogs. You will learn to help your clients learn to massage their dogs.
In this workshop we cover basic anatomy and physiology of dogs, Western,
Asian and esoteric massage techniques and theories. Also included is specific
PetMassage™ applications for many canine conditions. This
course is a personal development and enrichment class through the medium
of canine bodywork. Movement and breathing exercises expand your sensory
and spiritual awareness' and develop healthy body mechanics. Ethics, business
marketing strategies, and a field trip to a humane society complete the
course. Bring your own dogs to class or we provide a dog for you. Certificates are awarded upon completion
of the workshop, a take-home test and documentations of ten canine massages.
