How to Massage a Dog's Body

Hi, this is Mary with expertvillage.com and we're almost to the end of our sessions. One thing I have to remind you all is you need to do both sides of the animal. You've seen Keeta mostly on one side, now you'll notice she's on the other side. Massage is all about balance. If you only do one side of your animal, you're going to have an unbalanced dog. Literally as well as figuratively. So please make sure that you spend as much time on both sides. If you can get the dog to stand up and you can do some of the sides together at the same time, that's fine, but please don't do half a massage and then decide that you're done, you're tired and you're not going to do the other half. It's not fair to your animal, it really is not good for them at all. Think of it this way, if you were getting a massage, would you like to only have half of you done?
