Senior Dog: Meridian Massage, Acupressure and More

Alison Zeidler

This is an awesome class for practitioners and for dog owners alike. Lots of great review and tips and techniques that animal bodywork practitioners can add in to their own routines and great reminders too. For dog owners who want to help support own pets, this class is jam packed with ideas. I love the videos and watching MA work! It is such a pleasure to see her connect with the animals.

Very relaxing for Jasmin. I am becoming more comfortable with all this new information. When Jasmin is working on a pooh or gets a leg cramp, she becomes very restless and I am the only one that can calm her. My husband, is very good with her but even he is impressed. Thank so much for this opportunity to learn how to help my senior dog. The videos on different dogs help a lot too.
