The Experience

Your best furry friend is perfectly happy with scritches and belly rubs, but you want to treat them to a whole new level of love. Just like people, dogs enjoy health benefits from regular massage and—bonus!—it’s a wonderful bonding experience for human and hound alike. Join certified dog massage therapist Ian Byrne for this live virtual class where you’ll learn expert techniques for giving your canine companion a rubdown that’ll be a wellness boost for both of you.

  • Ian will begin class with an introduction to dog massage, including a brief overview of canine physiology and psychology.
  • You’ll learn how to prep your pup for massage success, discover the five key areas to work on, and learn the most important stroke techniques.
  • Find out how to read your dog to understand what they love—and don’t like—so you can tailor your new skills and maximize the benefits of future sessions.
  • Please note: This class is not recommended for dogs with known aggression issues, certain diseases, areas of swelling, or some behavioral issues. Always consult with your veterinarian to ensure massage is right for you and your pooch.
Class length: 75 minutes.
We suggest: Get even more in touch with your pup by pairing this experience with our How to Speak Dog Cards, a playful illustrated deck that’ll help you decode your dog’s barks and body language.

About

Ian Byrne's love for dogs began with his grandfather's Labrador, Tara, who first taught him to interact with the canine kind. After a 10-year career in marketing, Ian decided to resign from his position as director of a Toronto agency and pursue a lifelong dream of working with dogs. He spent the next few years studying canine massage and traveling internationally to bring his therapeutic touch to shelter and rescue dogs around the world. Today, his living room doubles as a canine massage studio, where he not only cares for dogs but teaches others how to do the same.

You and your dog! (If your pup isn’t there or is not ‘cooperating’ then having a pillow to practice applying your strokes during the class will suffice.)
