Canine Revival, LLC - Canine Massage - St Paul, MN
I am certified in Canine Massage, Canine Fitness Training, and am a Professional Dog Trainer. This comprehensive background allows me to work with your dog using a multifaceted approach, which is always beneficial!
We can meet at my massage, fitness, and training center in White Bear Lake or I can come to you!
Canine Massage Therapy will isolate and alleviate the problems caused by normal day-to-day living, aging, sporting activities, injury, surgery, lack of muscle tone and sluggish circulation.
Whether your dog excels at power loafing on the sofa, spends time engaged in a rigorous sport or job, or is recovering from surgery or an injury, massage is an excellent way to help your dog feel their best!
***Rescues!***
Massage can be an amazing breakthrough for those dogs that have not experienced much human interaction in their lives. Many rescues that are timid and unsure have experienced great breakthroughs with massage therapy. Learning that human touch can be a wonderful thing often brings a previously neglected dog out of their shell and can be the first step to learning to live the good life with their new family!
