TTouch Massage for Senior Dogs

Here's a second Tellington Touch video for you, focusing on techniques for senior dogs and dogs recovering from surgery.

I particularly like the body wrap for the senior dogs, and will suggest it for my dog Krystal's BFF Winnie the Pooch. Winnie's got all sorts of aches and an injury to the muscles of her right hind hip. She's had physical therapy and meds, so I'm thinking adding that body wrap might just help her feel a little more comfortable in her own skin.

I'm guessing this body wrap might also be helpful for a fearful dog. Swaddling can be powerfull.

This video shows several different massage movements (called TTouch) to go along with the body wrap as well as injury recovery. I'm delighted to see these additional TTouch methods so I can add them to my repetoire of body work techniques with Krystal.

If you've tried TTouch on your dog (or even on your cat), it would be great to hear about your results.

(To view the first video demonstrating the basic TTouch method, see my previous blog post TTouch for You and Your Dog.)

Hi Cousin Kaye,

I like the idea of that body wrap. I bet that would feel real good for an older dog who has aches and pains.

Thanks for sharing the video on that plus the massage. The combination of the two should make for happy dogs, hey?
