Learn PetMassage™ to Change Careers

We welcome the opportunity to share the PetMassage™ approach to canine massage with you and to teach the gentle skills you will need to propel you toward your dynamic future.

The most exciting people in the world are drawn to PetMassage™ workshops. This is training for people who would like to work either in veterinary offices as therapists and/or create productive, loving and prosperous businesses helping dogs and their guardians. The PetMassage™ program is accredited to provide RVTs CE, Continuing Education through RAIVE (Registry for Alternative and Integrative Veterinary Education).

PetMassage™ teaches students to support the self-revelatory, self healing, intuitive abilities of dogs through the use of knowledgeable, compassionate touch, fascia releases, and utilizing open body-language communication. The Foundation workshop includes Home Study modules in anatomy and physiology, Creating and Marketing Your Animal Massage Business, Confident Dog Handling and a case study. Our intention in this one comprehensive workshop is for you to learn the basic working knowledge of canine massage, understand the canine body systems from a Western medical model, and help you develop your professional career. The PetMassage™ Canine Aquatic Massage workshop prepares you to offer a most unique service to competition dogs, older dogs, overweight dogs, and dogs that are undergoing veterinary rehabilitation.

Our workshops attract students who are inclined to share our philosophies of touch, connection, service, and commitment. We are not entrenched in the physical therapy – medical massage mind-set. Our approach is holistic and spiritual. Still, our practice supports and integrates easily with the work of veterinarians and other animal health and wellness practitioners. We incorporate many concepts and practices of TCM and Tai Chi in our massage theory and practice. In our on-site workshops, students learn specific PetMassage™ theory and techniques hands-on, every day, with live dogs in the classroom and during a field trip to our local ASPCA.

The animal massage and bodywork business you create will be the reflection of your personal vision; your experiences, intuitive development, your charisma, your drive and persistence. It will be your journey. It will be totally and exclusively a reflection of you, your dream, and your commitment to market yourself and your service.

Our students transitioned themselves from occupations that include practically every vocation imaginable. Our students have put in their time and learned their life lessons. They are ready to revive and finally act on their lifelong passions to care for dogs. Over 90 percent of our students are women, most of whom are now ready to create new rewarding careers working with canines. Their life lessons have provided them with the experience and perspective to finally know what makes them happy. Expanding their natural talents and skills with PetMassage™ training enhances their lives, their dogs lives and the life conditions of everyone who seeks out their services.

This testimonial arrived after this student completed her first workshop with us:

“I wanted to thank you all for inspiring me to do what I feel I was put here on Earth to do! My life is now clear and I am focused on a goal I know in my heart I will achieve. Thank you for helping me find myself! You’ve truly touched my life!” –Heather H.

This is an exciting time for you as you think about the next part of your life’s journey.
