PetMassage Advanced Level Program Testimonials

The class experience is nurturing and allows me to take my practice of PetMassage to a level that I can positively make an impact.

The advanced PetMassage course has allowed me to apply the foundation course fundamentals with intention and has given me the skills to combine what I have learned with energy work.

I really gained so much from both this class as well as the Foundation Leve I attended last year.

I would definitely recommend this coarse for the person who is serious about continuing their education and who may be wanting to get into PetMassage as a career.

Tammy

I’ve learned (and reignited!) so much. Everything I’ve encounter in this course enlightens me to move on and on. A big part in a life long set of goals!

I do not really have a best experience. First it was wonderful to have a class with friends made in the Foundation course. It added a depth and richness to the experience and FUN. In terms of the course work, the study this week has added a certain completeness to skills already learned. I feel more confident, the massage skills are not as “mechanical” now they have a reason and a “feeling” “Connected”. I believe I will return home enjoying the work with dogs to a greater degree. I thought it was good to have “new” dogs in the class. This is more like it is in my work. I think it provided a more in-depth learning experience.

I was really greatly encouraged in this week by people, dogs, curriculum and ME! I can do this! I will miss my time up here.

I completed the Foundation workshop

I completed the Foundation workshop in November 2016 and received my certificate in May 2017 after completing all the course work. I attended the Advanced Workshop in September 2017 and hope to have my certificate by January 2018. My intention and goal is have a business up and running by January 2018! This is the beginning of a third career for me and I am so very excited about entering the field of Canine massage.

I absolutely believe that I chose well in selecting the Pet Massage Institute to train and guide me into this new career. First of all, the Rudingers are pioneers in the field of canine massage. They are true professionals in all aspects. They have worked tirelessly to make canine massage a respected and mainstream occupation. I say,” Learn from the BEST”.

Their compassion, commitment and love for dogs and their belief in canine massage as a profession are without reproach.

I hope to do them proud.

What I liked best about this workshop was the discussion format. It really facilitated training that was tailored to our needs. The text is excellent and I’m glad that we didn’t follow in a linear progression, but let wander where we needed to take it. I feel as though I really deepened my knowledge and confidence. Thank you for the wonderful MasterMind exercise. I love all of you and my peers in class.

I enjoyed the energy work and chakra integration into the PetMassage™ work. I felt at home, like I came home to where I am meant to be. I will own this as my next career!
