I thoroughly recommend any and all of the Canine Massage Therapy Centre workshops.

🎄 The Perfect Christmas Gift for Dog Owners (and Their Dogs!) 🎄

Want to give your dog something far better than another toy they’ll destroy by Boxing Day?
Give them comfort. Give them better movement. Give them massage… taught by the person who literally wrote the book on it.

I’m running a 4-Week Online Canine Massage Course for dog owners — live on Zoom, so you learn safely with your own dog from home.

Across four evenings, I’ll teach you how to recognise muscular issues, support your dog’s comfort, and use hands-on techniques grounded in real clinical practice. No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just clear, evidence-led skills you can use for life.

Course Dates:
🗓 8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th January 2026 (Evenings via Zoom)

What you’ll learn:
• How your dog’s muscles actually work and why they matter
• Safe, practical massage techniques you can use immediately
• How to spot common signs of muscular discomfort before they become bigger problems
• Ways to help your dog move more freely, age more comfortably, and feel more connected to you

And no, they don't need to lie down for it, in fact your dog is encouraged to partipate and give you feedback so you get the right massage for them all structured into a routine thats right for them.

This isn’t a “beginners dabble.” It’s a structured learning experience delivered by Natalie Lenton — world authority in Clinical Canine Massage Therapy, founder of the Canine Massage Guild and creator of the Lenton Method.

If you’re looking for a meaningful gift this Christmas — something your dog will genuinely benefit from — this is it.

🎁 The greatest gift you can give your dog is comfort, ease of movement, and a calmer, happier body.
And you can learn to give that yourself.

Spaces are limited because the course is hands-on and interactive.

A dog’s favourite present has never been a toy, it’s always been you. And this is you, upgraded.

It’s not just what’s in your dog’s bowl that will affect their health, their eating position will also have an impact. Feeding height may not be something you’ve ever considered – you put your dog’s food and water bowls down on the floor because that’s just what you do. However there a...

🐾 Did You Know? Hind Limb Issues Can Lead to Shoulder Pain! 🐾

If your dog has a hind limb condition—like hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament injury, or lumbosacral disease—you might notice them getting sore in their shoulders, neck, or front legs. But why does this happen?

When a dog’s back legs are painful or weak, they naturally shift more weight forward. This means their shoulders and forelimbs have to work extra hard, leading to tired, overworked muscles and even more discomfort.

✨ Key takeaway: Supporting your dog’s whole body—especially when they have an orthopaedic issue—can help prevent secondary muscle pain and keep them moving comfortably.

I love massaging the golden oldies (and every other colour oldies too) they soon work out that it makes them feel so much better and often position themselves so that the stiff and aching areas are obvious and easy to massage ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩶🤎🖤
