Student Testimonials:

I have been working with dogs in the water for over a year – teaching them to swim.

I still learn so much from Jonathan.  I never considered all the healing and different beneficial things that water can do for the dogs (and you).

Jonathan opened up all those possibilities for me and gave me incredible insight and skills.

I’m so happy I met him and took this course.

I’m excited to start using the tools he’s given me to grow and help all the dogs around me.

Jonathan is a great instructor and a joy to work with.  He has a calmness about him that is wonderful.  He kept the environment peaceful and relaxing.  Even though  we we’re working hard.  I am thrilled I have started working toward my dream of working w/dogs and PetMassage.

Thank you Jonathan!
