How To Calm Your Dog By Using A Dog-Massage Technique

Dog massage is a veterinary technique used to hasten rehabilitation following fractures and to restore muscle tone. It can give you a new appreciation of canine anatomy. For the busy dog owner, it is a way of disciplining oneself to make contact with the pet. It is a welcome break for dogs in obedience training. For show dogs, massage is an excellent calming procedure before entering the ring, where a delicate balance between relaxation and animation must be maintained if the dog is to look its
best.
A technique for calming down a stressed dog is to place your open palm over the dog’s groin area and hold it there. On females, this is just below the stomach, on males, just in front of the genital area. The groin area is a traditional greeting place between fellow canines. Dogs often tell each other “it’s all right” by nudging this area. When you gently place your hand there, it has the same effect on the dog as an arm around the shoulder or a handshake can have for worried humans. Try this technique if your dog becomes agitated while at the veterinarians, when you need to groom it, cut its toenails, or anytime the dog is under stress.
