This is most adorable Prize! Prize participates in several show events with his
owner.  Prize thoroughly enjoyed his massage and his owner thinks so too! 

"  Hi Sandy,
   Just a note to let you know Prize told me he really enjoyed his session with
you.  He feels really good now.  I probably will be calling you for another
appointment since I will be entering more trials to get his RAE title. (need ten legs)
I have other dogs that I would like you to work with, especially a 14 year old Airdale.
Will call you when ready.
                                               Thanks again, Renie & Prize (woof)"
*Update on Prize!*

"Hi Sandy, Just to let yo know Prize now has three RAE legs, we now only need seven more.  I used the massage techniques you showed me before ring time and I think that helped.  When I recoup from this weekend of shows, will call you to set up more appointments.

*Second update on Prize*  "Prize now has his RAE title, WHEW! Glad that's over! I am sure the massage sessions with you and the techniques you showed me to do at the shows helped a lot to relieve some of his fears and stress. What a trip it was!  Prize and I both thank you for helping get us through to his title."  Talk to you soon, Renie & Prize (Woof) "

 

This is Frasier.  He is 14 years old and had his first massage recently.
From his owner, "I can't believe it, but he seemed to be walking
around a little better this morning!  He didn't seem to be a stiff.  I
certainly plan on continuing sessions for him."


This is Koos a/k/a Toast, a beautiful Bernese Mountain Dog who
thoroughly enjoyed his massage at Clicking with Canines Training Facility.


This is Edward, an older yellow lab with significant arthritis.  From
his owner .....
"Shortly after you left he took a LONG walk into the field and around.
It's been about 3 weeks since he's done that! He's been doing real well today,
like a puppy, my friend said! He's felt good, for sure. Thank you so much!
And thank you for the picture. We love that you can come here and help him.
Look forward to seeing you next week. With love from all of us! Edward, Lynne, Emily and Boots".

"Hi Sandy,
     Just wanted to let you know that your massage again helped Edward a lot! After you left, he slept awhile, then chased Emily around the room, to play and bite her neck. He slept well and Monday he walked quite a way up the hill beside the house. Today, he took another long walk down in the field.
     It's all good! THANK YOU SO MUCH. " 


This is Zack.  He is 14 years old and has arthritis with
difficulty moving around well.

"Zack is doing real well after his massage.  I'll tell you all about him, but first I want to say thank you for being so nice to him.  I'm so picky about his doctors.  Anyone can learn the biology, chemistry, physiology, techniques.  But I really want them to be treated by someone who truly cares about animals and is nice and kind and caring and gentle and concerned, which you are.  I'm real glad they met you.

And yes Zack is feeling a whole lot better.  As much in spirit and attitude as physically.  So he was able to walk noticeably farther this morning, and more easily.  He gets up to a standing position more easily.  So like when he wants a drink, he's more able to do it himself, exactly when he wants, rather than waiting for me to notice.  That alone is a big deal.   So yes, he's feeling much better, both mentally and physically.

He does not seem sore, he actually seems less sore.  More lively.  More capable.  And more hungry.  I forgot how much a massage does for one's appetite.  Thank you again so much.

I guess you determined real well how much to massage him, and how much in the different places.  I just realized now that your approach with him was right on for this first massage.
 
The previous 3 nights he was just panting and panting.  And he
couldn't get comfortable.  He kept shifting position, the best he
could anyway.  But last night, after his massage from you Sandy, he
just didn't pant.  He didn't shift position.  He was breathing
comfortably, resting comfortably, and slept like a log. Very different
from the previous nights.  And so here I am watching this, putting
this all together.  And I realized that the benefits of massage are
not only quite extensive, but are a better result than the Tramadol.
Better by far, and I mean by far.

And Zack walked today the longest stretch he's walked since his injury 4 weeks ago.  He's walking much
much better. 

Like I said, yes I would like him to have another massage next week.  He deserves it, with you doing it.  And... another thing they taught me is fairness.  They each share in the spoils.  So, If you could, I'd like Annie to have a massage also.   So if it's possible in your schedule next week, when you come to massage Zack, I'd like you to do Annie too.  She does have some weakness in her right rear leg.  Be well and thanks again for being so good to my boy.

David"
 
And ........ Here is Annie
Annie is a very sweet girl, she is timid about hands on so I consider her
my newest challenge to allow a full massage - she
was very good for her first one!

"Thank you again for being so nice and considerate to my kids; and for

making them feel so much better.  You really have a way with animals,

even Annie.  It's because you connect with them being nice and kind

and gentle and considerate.  Considerate of Zack's pains while

massaging him.  Considerate of Annie's discomfort with getting

attention.  And they both slept like logs.  Last night was the best night
sleep Zack had in days.  He slept really good,  Not shifting position all
night from discomfort.  He just slept.  Just seeing him get such a good night
sleep warms my heart.  Like watching a baby sleep.

Annie was just as limber as Zack.  And her limp, from her front right paw, was
gone this morning.  Yesterday, it was very prominent before the massage.  On our first
walk, with Zack, she didn't limp at all, there and back.  On her walk,
about 2 miles today, she didn't limp until we started coming back, and
then slightly, but still not like yesterday.  I'm amazed how much
better that paw is, considering that it's really been bothering her
for weeks now.  And she woke up and walked a long ways without any
limp.  And it seems that she can put more weight on her
right back leg, but it's hard to tell since she always keeps moving;
but it doesn't bother her when she's walking.  But that front right
paw sure is a whole lot better.  And she was laying in a position I've
never seen her lay before, while on her belly.  Looked like she was
really comfortable.  To say she looked limber is an understatement.
 
So don't wonder when I say you're worth about your weight in gold.
Because to give them such terrific health, relief, and well-being,
it's about priceless. 

I could go on and on.  Thanks.  David"
