Learn to massage healthy dogs for the benefit of relaxation and calming. Discover the difference between ‘just petting’ an animal and applying a step-by-step canine massage protocol with a wide variety of strokes, including a ‘walk & work’ routine. Review the contraindications of canine massage and learn how to give a ‘therapeutic touch’ treatment focusing on the animal’s chakra areas. Bring a real dog or a stuffed dog of your own along with a sheet, mat or blanket for them. Dogs must be obedience trained; aggressive dogs will be asked to leave the class to ensure a safe space for everyone. CLASS SIZE WILL BE LIMITED TO 12 PEOPLE. (CEU-NCBTMB)
