Why this 4-week format is the perfect alternative to our intensive 1-day workshops, built entirely around the comfort of you and your dog.
Zero Travel Stress
Many dogs get highly anxious traveling to new locations or being around strange dogs. Learning from your living room means your dog is entirely relaxed, making their body vastly more receptive to touch and massage work.
Paced Progression
Instead of absorbing complex anatomy and physical techniques in a single day, this course breaks the anatomy and techniques into bite-sized weekly chunks. You have an entire week to practice, reflect, and master each concept.
A Deepened Bond
Massage is an incredible conversation without words. Taking 4 weeks to establish this physical communication strengthens the trust between you and your dog in a profound, long-lasting way.
Your 4-Week Journey
A structured, step-by-step pathway from understanding canine anatomy to delivering a seamless, full-body routine.
Foundations and first touch
In your first week, you'll dive straight into the foundations of canine anatomy and learn exactly when not to massage (contraindications). Most importantly, you'll begin working with your dog right away, learning your very first Swedish Massage techniques.
Structure & Pain Identification
We'll take a deeper look at the skeleton and major muscle groups so you can confidently map out your dog's body. You will also learn the critical '5 Principles of Pain', a framework that empowers you to accurately identify and isolate muscular pain before you massage, plus we add in more techniques along with adaptations to specifically suit your dog.
Expanding Your Toolkit
We expand further into your dogs muscular and skeletal systems and introduce more techniques as well helping you understand both the physiological and psychological benefits of each. You'll also learn how to read the language of touch through your dogs' reactions as we target specific areas. We are there to help you translate touch into meaning that your dog will thank you for.
Flow & Choreography
This is where it all comes together. We guide you through a professionally choreographed routine that targets specific areas of your dog's body. You'll learn how to link and combine techniques seamlessly. We even provide a curated Massage Music Playlist so you can create the perfect relaxing environment.
Throughout, you will be guided by Natalie and her dog Lyra so you can understand the rhythm, pace, flow, pressure and linking of techniques. Learn how to take the routine and tailor it specifically for your dogs needs with guidance so you can leave confident in your approach.
Access the online school
You also get access to our online school where you can download the course material as well as re-watch the recorded tutorials. Download anatomy guides, stream tutorials and theres even a magic playlist to help set the scene for you and your dog!
