Hi Folks, ... it's our automatic monthly reminder of the guidelines for our list- maybe they'll spark some ideas for discussion. ... These are simply some...
I just wanted to let anyone know that may be interested, that Dogwise has a dog anatomy book available. http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=dv172 ...
Hi - I have this book. It is a great reference for body parts, but there is virtually no reading in it. The pictures are good, but you have to match the...
There is an awful new proposal to changes in dog law being proposed in Ohio, the homestate of the IAAMB. It affects breeders (of course) -- but also Rescue...
I'm hoping you guys can help me with ideas for a demo on canine massage. I've been asked to present a two-hour seminar to dog owners with a wide variety of...
Courtney, I sent this and got it back, I'm not on Yahoo and my post won't go through. Her is my answer for you and the rest of the group if you can send it,...
Will the two hours be just about dog massage? When I do seminars, they usually do last two hours. I start out introducing myself, who I'am, how I got into...
I massaged a 12 year old dog today. I spoke to the vet first and she said that massage would be good for the dog and there were no areas to avoid. I went VERY...
I do energy healing and massage. For that area on the dog, if you choose to massage again, I would not touch but move your hand above the area, so the energy...

It seems like the vet either missed something or the blood clot is causing more discomfort than the vet thinks. Suggest the owner get a second opinion from ...
This dog should be seen by an animal chiropractor. Did the vet take x-rays? The spinal joints are obviously involved in this animal and need to be treated....
I want to thank everyone for answering. The vet just called me to get an account of what happened and they are going to re-examin tomorrow morning. Maybe they...
It is good the hear that the vet was interested enough to call you back. My advice is to continue to see the dog. It may take a bit of time for him to feel...

I also do energy balancing (Reiki) along with canine massage. Sometimes passive touch is helpful along the other areas that aren't near the spots that seem to...
Glad the vet is re-assessing. Please write again after you get new info. I don't know what your experience with energy work is. So, if you are aware of the...

Thank you so much. My problem is in a massage session I have been known to walk away feeling other peoples pain. I know this will help me. UPDATE: Mickey has...
I agree with Margarite's advice below but would like to add to that. "There are a myriad of techniques for protection. A very simple one is to brush yourself...
I massaged him on Wed and he was more open to me. It took him some time to warm up and he did snap once, but it was a lot better than the last time. I did...

Hi, I started my business in small animal massage a few months ago. I continue to make good contacts through trainers, rescue groups, pet/ feed stores and...
Carol: My experience is that it takes about 2 years to get any business to start producing,. As a healing touch and flower/color/ tree essence therapist I am...
It does take 2-3 years to get a business started. You also have to remember that what we offer, it is also new to people. So you also have to educate and that...
Well, I graduated 3 years ago from dog massage school and have not succeeded yet in getting a practice going. So it can be very slow. Part of the reason for my...
Good news about Mickey, keep up the good work. On getting started, hang in there, it does seem like it takes forever. I started at agility shows and gave away...
Thank you! I try to tell myself the things you mention especially what good it does for the animals, but at times I need to hear it from someone. I am pet...
Here is one more voice added to the others confirming how long it takes. I'm doing my pet massage business part-time, so it's taking longer. I, too, am doing...

Roberta, You bring up an interesting point about massaging at agility trials. Do you massage the dogs before or after they run? I run into this issue...
