1-day Massage Workshop
I believe that dog massage is an essential part of total pet health care, helps to improve the connection between the pets and their owners. The special benefits make the massage an unmissable treat for the active sport dogs and gives them longer, healthier life in the competitive scene.
Each workshop is limited to small groups and you will learn in a hands-on environment how to get the most value for you and your dog. The price is £95.
We`ll start at 10 am, so please arrive 10-15 mins early to have time for some paperwork. If you don`t want to, can`t bring your own dog or your dog doesn`t feel relaxed with other dogs, please let me know beforehand .

NOTES
Please make sure your dog has had a walk before we start. Bring their own blanket or mattress so they feel more relaxed. There is plenty of space for your dog but please make sure your dog is happy to be with the other dogs and that the girls aren`t in season or pregnant.
We will have some treats for your four-legged friends, tea,coffee and biscuits for yourself.
Please not that this 1-day workshop will not entitle you to practice massage as a profession. You will learn how to massage your own dog at home.
