Student Reviews

I really enjoyed learning about pet/dog massage and how we can better relate to our furry friends. In addition, I would like to say that being in an environment (work in sports facility) it is really fascinating to learn more about energy work. It will also come in useful to our own pets.

- Charlotte, CA

The course was thorough, and informative I really enjoyed participating.

- Carole A. Eastwood CLMT

I knew the connection with my own dog was strong, but through this course I was able to deepen my understanding of her and myself and connect on levels I never thought possible. A wondrous side effect has been an understanding of energy work and energy systems in general that previously was only conceptual. My work with humans has deepened and my work with dogs has only just begun. My deepest gratitude to the author and Health Positive!.

- Beverly J. Sparks, CMT

This was a wonderful course for animal massage and energetic healing techniques.

- Joshuah Keane, Federal Way, WA

Info and examples brought insight into the way I communicate with my three dogs and a greater understanding of their needs. Admiration for our dogs energy-reading abilities.

- Pam Fox-Ries - MT - Las Vegas, NV

This course offers a great review of energy in general. It also elevates the experience of 'dog' for both the animal and the human.

- Patrick Black, CMT, NCTMB
