This one-day workshop is an introduction to learning about your dog’s body and how you can help to manage, support, and enhance your dog’s physical and mental wellbeing at home. No prior skills are required, just a passion and love of dogs! You will be with likeminded people, with dogs (6 maximum) from all walks of life, ranging from young to senior, active to infirm, who, just like us can carry tensions, aches, and pains in their body, which can develop through general wear, activities/ lifestyle condition and disease. Please note, if your dog has behavioural issues and gets easily agitated and overwhelmed around other dogs/ people, this course will not be suitable for them to attend.
On successful completion of the course, candidates will be awarded a college certificate ofattendance
