Canine Stretch and Massage Workshop

Our Canine Stretch and Massage Workshop is designed to teach pet owners essential techniques to improve their dog’s flexibility, mobility, and overall comfort, all in 90 minutes! In the first half of the workshop, you’ll learn how to perform targeted front and hind limb stretches to assess and treat areas of tightness or discomfort in your dog. This self-assessment method helps you identify muscle tension and pinpoint which areas need special attention during the massage, allowing you to focus your efforts effectively.

In the second half, we’ll teach you full-body massage techniques that alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation throughout your dog’s body. You’ll gain practical skills to perform a soothing, therapeutic massage that supports recovery, reduces stiffness, and enhances mobility.

​

Workshop Highlights:

• Discover your dog’s anatomy and the normal range of motion for fore and hind limb joints, helping you better understand your dog’s physical needs.

• Learn how to identify areas of tightness and discomfort through targeted stretching—perfect for assessing your dog’s mobility and comfort.

• Understand the correct body positioning for both you and your pup when performing stretching and massage techniques.

• Master stretching and massage techniques to relieve tension, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation.

• Receive tips for incorporating stretching and massage into your dog’s daily care routine for long-term health benefits.

• Take-home handouts and reference guides to reinforce the techniques and continue using them at home.

Led by a certified physiotherapist, we’ll guide you through these safe and effective techniques, empowering you to provide personalised care to your dog. This workshop is suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds, and activity levels, with no prior experience required. With a maximum of six dogs per session, we ensure each pet and owner receive individual attention tailored to their needs.
