"healing dogs from the inside"

Massage
Dogs can feel the difference right away between “petting” and “Touch with Intent” – similar to us g
etting a pat on the back on the back... and a back massage! Services are provided in-home (dog’s environment) and on a massage table if dog is able. If not, massages will be given on the floor (wherever dog is most comfortable).
Different types of Swedish massage techniques are used for each individual situation. These include: Effleurage (long flowing strokes), petrissage (kneading), trigger point (applied pressure to a specific muscle), compression (gentle squeezing) and muscle stripping (applied pressure to separate long muscle fibers). These techniques DO NOT include any chiropractic manipulation.
The most important thing I do initially is start a Trust Relationship with the dog. Bonding and communication with your dog is essential. I respect the dog’s space and “ask” for their permission to work -- all dogs are NOT the same! They give me signals & communicate clearly (dogs are very honest)! I will work until we’ve reached the end of therapy for that session – or until your dog has told me they have “had enough” for that day!
To schedule a session for your dog, please call 817-236-2000. For more information, please email Krista.
