Does your dog deserve a little extra TLC? Whether they’re a high-energy athlete, a beloved senior, or just your favorite couch potato, massage can be a wonderful way to enhance their well-being and deepen your bond.

In this hands-on 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn simple massage and stretching techniques that can help your dog relax, relieve muscle tension, and even support recovery after activity. Animal physical therapist Beth Williams will guide you through dog-friendly touch methods and teach you how to recognize your dog’s comfort signals, so every massage feels like a treat—for both of you!  Massage is a wonderful way to teach dogs to value human touch. Prepare for a calming, interactive experience that will leave tails wagging.

No prior experience is needed, and all breeds, sizes, and ages are welcome. Please bring a comfortable dog bed (or two), yoga mat/s, and/or pillows to kneel on, as you and your dog will be on the floor for this class. We are able to accommodate a few clients who have difficulty getting up and down with a massage table, as long as their dogs are under 30 lbs – please let us know when you register if you’d like this option.
