Canine Massage Therapy Certificate Course
Learn from Registered Massage Therapist, Energy Healer & Teacher Robert Robertson, owner of The Paw Spa (K9 Solutions) in Ottawa-Gatineau
Just like humans, dogs benefit immensely from massage—physically, emotionally, and mentally. Canine massage reduces stress and anxiety, improves circulation, relieves pain, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Whether your dog is a sport dog, working dog, in rehabilitation, or simply in need of relaxation, massage can transform their health and well-being.
In this comprehensive online course, you’ll learn how to give dogs a safe, effective, and deeply relaxing massage. You’ll master sports massage techniques, proper pressure application, and essential principles that apply to dogs of all breeds, ages, and activity levels.
