We were invited to the RSPCA Brighton over two occasions to show the staff and volunteers how to perform canine massage. The aim was to introduce them to nine techniques that they could use in a routine to help relax nervous and anxious dogs waiting for rehoming to their Forever Homes.
At the end of the two sessions we had 14 staff and volunteers plus eight dogs who all went home relaxed. Our Sam and Sarah received a triple dose with the three groups.
We are looking forward to continued collaboration with the RSPCA team and dogs.
