The Rescue Dog

Giving a rescue dog a new and loving home is a fulfilling and rewarding experience, but we all know that old habits, settling in and traumatic past experiences can often hinder or delay a dogs ability to settle into their forever home.

Dog Massage can help with:

• Nervous or Anxious behaviour
• Irritable/Grumpy unwilling to be touched
• Accustoming your dog to being handling if they are "touch shy"
• Trust Issues with humans
• Unsociable Behaviour with other dogs/people
• Physiological Conditions eg: Limping /Lameness/Arthritis/Hip Dysplasia
  Stiffness, Mobility Issues
• Enabling your dog to release old patterns of unwanted behaviour
• Hyperactive/Under active dogs
• Visits to the Groomers
• The older dog

How Does It Work?

• By relaxing muscles, easing tension and resolving issues in the musco-skeletal system that may be making your dog irritable, tense and unable to settle
• By stimulating the nervous system to elicit new responses and to "forget" old behaviour patterns
• Drains toxins and metabolic waster through the lymphatic system (toxins and waste are a common cause of why many dogs don`t like their paws touched)
• Touch Perception makes the dog more aware of its own body as different sensations are elicited throughout the massage
• Helps to resolve issues like lameness and "bunny-hopping" and support issues like arthritis
