Behaviour

When a dog gets nervous, anxious or and stressed, there is a high probability that they may become aggressive to other dogs, people or even to their owners. Canine Massage Therapy can help to ease the tension and increase the bond between dog and owner and reduce stress and some behaviour concerns – such as helping the dog become more sociable. Stress, tension, pain etc can make the whole dog feel uncomfortable, therefor they are unable to process experiences and situations very well. Their muscles tighten, joints become stiff and lack flexibility, posture becomes hunched and poor – life becomes a strain. A lot of behaviour problems are as a result from undiagnosed pain and many dogs have sadly been euthanised unnecessarily.  Massage can also help hyperactive and over excited dogs and puppies as it has a calming influence on the nervous system.
