Classes That Help You Be a Better Pet Guardian

INTRODUCTION TO CANINE MASSAGE


How many times have you noticed your dog running or walking with an odd gait, getting up or lying down slowly or stiffly, not wanting to go up or down stairs? Are there times you have thought your dog may be in pain or sore from too much exertion or old age?

Wouldn't you like to be able to safely and effectively massage your dog? There are many good reasons to massage a dog, things we don't think about usually. If you have a dog that works hard, plays hard, is older, has a physical problem, has had surgery, they would benefit from massage.

Canine massage classes taught by J Linn Henline, a LMP (licensed massage Practitioner) and SAMP (small animal massage practitioner), teaches you how to help. Learn some of the techniques the professionals use to help your dog achieve their optimum health and well-being.

You bring your dog, a mat or blanket to sit on the floor. You receive lots of hands-on practice time and instruction and hand-outs to help you continue your practice at home.

$40 per person/dog
