I decided to learn the art of canine massage in an effort to support this amazing, little dog, Benji in his later years.   He developed Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) when he was 8 years old and lost the use of his back legs   Luckily surgery gave this very active little guy back his mobility but he was always limping.   After I retired I decided to figure out ways to make his remaining years more comfortable. 

After some research, I decided to learn canine massage at the Northwest School of Animal Massage.   There was SO MUCH to learn and I was so overwhelmed but it really hit me when we started working on dogs they brought in and they just melted into a massage.   I decided to try the next level of massage which went into Rehabilitation massage and I fell in love.  Learning how to help dogs with injuries was amazing.   We got to practice on dogs at the humane society and watching these dogs change attitude through massage blew me away.  From there I was hooked and continue to sign up for classes to expand my skills to help other little dogs.   Sadly Benji is no longer with me, but he lived 17 years and I’d like to think Massage helped him keep active in his later years.
