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,...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
How do you do the follow-up form? Do you mail it or what? What does the form say? Does it help you get repeat clients? I'm curious as I seldom get repeat...
Hang in there. I have been in business for over 3 years now and still it is slow. I continue forging ahead by networking with as many people as possible. I...
