Learn to Massage Your Dog - Sunday, 9th August 2020
Our workshops are back in Level 1!
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to give a full body acupressure massage and understand when it’s okay to massage your dog and when it isn’t. You’ll learn how to observe your dog’s movements (gait) and be ready to start keeping records from your massage sessions. Diet, supplements and senior dog care are also discussed. Each dog participating receives a free bag of fresh dog treats and owners a resource pack with useful goodies and samples. Morning tea and nibbles are provided.
We will ask you to complete a series of pre-workshop questions as part of your registration – these will be emailed to you.
This is a hands-on class - each person attends with their own dog. If additional people are required in your party, you will pay for each person. $139 per person; payment is expected at the time of booking via online banking or PayPal. The class is limited to 8 participants and dogs to ensure personal attention and it is not suitable as certification training for those wishing to practice commercially.
Venue: Macfarlane Park Centre
Time: 9:30 am to 12:30 pm
Kiwirail land rental
We pay KiwiRail a rental fee for the lease of a strip of land alongside the railway line. We use the land for vegetable gardening. However we have just received a letter doubling the rental fee plus a charge to draw up the new lease. Has anyone else been effected by this? KiwiRail do nothing with the land on the other side of the fence and the grass grows lank.
