Barking Needs

Muscles pull on bones to create movement, and when arthritis is present, the joint has to recruit extra support of muscles which leads to your dog offloading, overcompensating on other limbs, primary as well as secondary areas of muscular and myofascial pain, and habitual patterns of tension throughout the whole body

So it's not just the joint thats affected.
It's your dog's whole body.
We can help.

We're glad you asked because we've got just the thing! Did you know that there's a really easy way to find out if your dog could be helped with canine massage therapy? Just click the link and you can download 'The 5 Principles of Pain' PDF, free, now! https://bit.ly/3OW5Q4T

* The 5 Principles of Pain was developed by our founder a few
years ago to help dog owners recognise clinical and sub-
clinical signs of pain that can be managed or resolved with the
Lenton Method® of canine massage therapy.

* It consists of 5 categories that breakdown indicators that
canine massage may be a viable therapy for your dog.

* The 5 Principles of Pain can also be used to track the
outcomes, or improvements in your dog, that you see from our
therapy too

* Our method tends to work pretty quickly, usually within 1-3
sessions according to the research by Wi******er University as
published in the Vet Record by the British Veterinary
Association. And if there's no change, we don't continue to
treat. Your dog is our No. 1 priority.

* Share this with your family and friends, it may be just the thing
that helps their dog

* Our therapy is affordable and can also be claimed via PetPlan
and other insurers

* Our ethical approach has positively changed the lives of
thousands of dogs across the world. So, if you are considering

find your local therapist today!

Clinical Canine Massage can help to keep your sporting and show dogs in top condition!

As a Canine Massage Guild Therapist, I utilise the disciplines of Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue and Myofascial Release. Most significantly, I’m trained in the unique Lenton Method™ - the use of Advanced Palpation Skills, Body Mapping and The 7 Protocols which is a set of direct myofascial releases.

Canine Massage Therapy addresses the whole body so not only is the area of issue managed but also over compensatory issues.

Contact me via messenger or email for more information about pre-season check-ups and treatments (veterinary consent is required).

Excited to be an Ambassador for a company that promotes fantastic gear for dog sports! 🏃‍♀️🐾

🎉 Introducing New Ambassador Suzanne 🎉

Hi everyone, I’m very excited to be part of the team! I’ve been involved with dog training, competing and judging since 2001, mainly through Agility, Rally, Flyball and Good Citizens, but I also enjoy running with my dogs as a hobby (and may be tempted to compete!).

I’m currently based in West Wales where I work from my smallholding as a Clinical Canine Massage Therapist and Agility Trainer. I share my life with my partner and 5 wonderful dogs (3 Bearded collies and 2 Border Collies) plus a few chickens and occasional sheep!

You can find pictures of my gang – Ivy, Zoe, Quince, Dara & Tally on Instagram
