‘’I LOVE MY DOG 1’’ (2 hour private or group workshop). Basic massage techniques like effleurage, petrissage and stretching are covered and easily applied to your dog.  You will also learn to read their physical language in reaction to the massage . It’s a great way to enhance the connection between you and your pet. It is also my pleasure to incorporate techniques that are adapted to the specific needs of each dog present at a workshop. 

''I LOVE MY DOG 2'' - A review of the massage techniques seen in the ''I LOVE MY DOG 1'' workshop, Reiki, an introduction to accupressure, massage adapted to the specific needs of our older dogs and a segment titled ''Preparing myself to the passing of my dog and the grieving period''.  The main purpose for this follow-up workshop is to introduce the notion of energy, our positive energy presence combined with the massage techniques to offer our dogs a more complete care.

Bring your dog's blanket/cushion, treats and a cushion for yourself.  Aggressive dogs will not be included, sorry.

The workshops are also available to canine care professionals (For example: Groomers, zootherapists, trainers, dog walkers, dog hotel/daycare/petshop owners and their employees, veterinarian assistants).  These workshops offer additional knowledge combined with a gentle yet effective approach that will foster a more manageable and caring environment for the professionals and the animals they work with. To reserve now: info@zenwoof.com or 514-949-6304

''Thanks for the fabulous workshop.  I was pleasantly surprised at how calm and receptive Kelly was.  We totally appreciated it.  I massage her a little bit every day and she asks for more!  But tonight  I'll take the time for a longer session with soft music and candles on.  It is also relaxing for me as it is a shared and calm moment with my dog.''    Stéphanie Pellerin.

            ************************************

''I enjoyed the workshop.  As an introduction to canine massage it is not too complex and very beneficial.  I liked that Alain applied some of the techniques on us to help us understand and feel how to apply them on our dog.  And the printed sheets sure help afterwards.  Thanks a lot!''           Ariane, Québec City.

           *************************************

''I can't wait to try the techniques at home on my dog.  I loved Alain's energy:  Very calm and he knows how to help us and our dogs feel at ease.  We've learned many different techniques (petrissage, TTouch, vibrations, etc.)  so we have many to choose from when we massage our dog.'' 

Marie-Eve St-Gelais, Quebec City.

''I loved that workshop!  I have 3 dogs to practice on and it does them a lot of good and even more so on the one who's more stressed and nervous.  Keep up the good work, thanks again!''                                    France A.

            **************************************

''Again, thank you for the ''I LOVE MY DOG 1'' workshop.  It was relaxing for the dogs AND the owners.  I was amazed by your calming presence and at how the dogs would react when YOU were touching and massaging them!''
