Here are a few hints and tips to help you and your dog get the most out of the session:
When preparing yourself for the first of your Interactive Online Sessions, please position your video camera to ensure that I can see both you and your dog during the session. It can be useful to have a practice to set up your video well before the start of the session as you will not have time to do this once the session starts.
You should by now have worked through the exercises presented in Module 1 and started to become familiar with the 5 Principals of Pain and your dog’s Anatomy. It’s now time for you to attend the first of your two online sessions.
Please remember to have the documents you downloaded and printed out from Module 1 to hand including the diagrams of the dog’s skeleton and muscles that you have annotated with the relevant names.
I look forward to meeting you in person in the Online session!
Before the online sessions, we provide you with some fun, educational activities to complete with your dog, these will help you to prepare for the hands-on sessions.
Let’s get thinking about the subtle ways that dogs can indicate muscular injury and pain. This unit helps to get you thinking about how your dog shows subtle signs of pain that may often be helped with canine massage therapy. It can also help you to consider things in your home that may be causing or contributing to your dog’s muscular pain. The good news is that small environmental changes can often make a big difference to your dog’s mobility and quality of life. We will be having a group discussion based around this module, so please be sure to fill in the activity sheet and bring it with you to the online session.
Can you identify some your dog’s main joints and bony landmarks? Have fun working through the activity first on paper and then with your dog!
Can you locate on a diagram some of your dog’s main muscle groups? This one requires a bit of online research but we have no doubt you will find it fascinating to take a stroll underneath your dog’s skin. During massage, you will be working on these muscles so getting to know roughly where they are can help you to provide a safe, thoughtful and compassionate massage for your dog.
