Did you know....

"They're not in pain, they don't whine"
Do you?
When you are in pain or discomfort, do you always show it?

"She's just being stubborn".
No she's not.
Her pain is in her toes, leg joints and now she's compensating for those long nails by changing her gait...her walking style so she can get some relief.....but that's causing issues too.
Moving hurts.

"I'll just run him more on concrete"
They're too long now.
All that will do is cause more pain.

"My dog's nails aren't the issue with his reactiveness"
They are a contributing factor....no doubt about it.

Just because they aren't verbally expressing it, it doesn't mean they aren't affected by the pain those nails are causing.
It comes out in behaviour.
Changes in energy and routines.
Not wanting to do what they always did before.
Reacting in ways we "don't understand".

"I would know if my dog was in pain"
With kindness and respect, many don’t realise it… but your dog is in pain.

Had a great weekend performing pre and post agility massage for the beautiful Secret at Dog Sports Derby agility show G1-G3. Congratulations on your 4th place rosette! Also got to catch up with some old and new clients at Brimstage Agility Events, thank you all for your time❤️🐕‍🦺.
Massage therapy isn't just suitable for dogs with muscular issues or orthopaedic conditions. It's also super important for active dogs, such as those competing in agility. Keeping the fascia and muscle tissue supple and healthy means your dog is less likely to incur injuries and will feel better while doing something you both love!
If you feel your dog would benefit from maintenance massage, please don't hesitate to get in touch through Facebook or Whatsapp. Much love.

We have a similar nervous system, our brains fire the same way. We are exposed to similar emotional responses and have the same need for safety. Yet dogs are so often still expected to shut up and put up. Let's be a little gentler with the needs of our dogs shall we? We can help with that, drop us a line in the comments.

Hearing and seeing how dogs are improving after sessions means the world to me! Roo and his family have been a joy to work with, and the results speak for themselves. This gorgeous little dude has a new lease of life! Get in touch if you feel like your pup may benefit from canine massage therapy .
