Massage For Dogs Workshop

Does your dog deserve a little extra TLC? Whether they’re a high-energy athlete, a beloved senior, or 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, animal physical therapist Beth Williams will teach you simple massage and stretching techniques that can help your dog relax, relieve tension, and even support recovery after activity. Handlers will need to be able to sit on the ground with larger dogs, or stand next to a table with smaller ones.

Home Grooming for Fluffy Dogs Workshop

Saturday, June 21 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm
Tuition: FREE

Calling all Doodles, Poodles, Aussies, Yorkies, and fluffy dogs everywhere – this one’s for you! Does your human hurt your skin when they brush you? Do they not do it at all, and then you get an embarrassing haircut at the groomer’s because it was matted?

Humans: Did you know that your fluffy dog MUST be properly brushed at home between grooming appointments in order to be healthy and comfortable? It’s not just for vanity – poorly groomed dogs are at risk for painful mats, as well as fungal and bacterial skin infections.
 
If your dog hates it, you don’t want to hurt them, you don’t know what tools to use, or you just don’t know where to start, let professional groomer Brandi Porsche of The Perfect Spot Grooming show you the way!

Fitness with Fido CLASS!

Starting Saturday, January 9th at 3:45pm
4 weeks long
Tuition: $225

Move, explore, and have fun together.

This four-week class is a chance to move your body, enjoy time with your dog, and discover how you both work—from the toes up.

Led by an animal physical therapist and a dog trainer, you and your dog will take turns trying movements that use the same muscle groups. You might rise onto your toes, then help your dog try their version, or enjoy a stretch before guiding your dog through theirs. Along the way, you’ll discover what your bodies have in common—and how having four legs changes things!

The fun is in trying things together: figuring out a new movement, watching your dog give it a go, and having those “Oh, that’s how it works!” moments, guided by an expert in human and dog physiology. 

Each class wraps up with class notes for home practice, giving you more ways to connect, play, and enjoy being active as a team. Bring tasty treats, a sense of humor, and your favorite four-legged movement buddy!
