I spent two years studying with the Canine Massage Therapy Centre, accredited by LANTRA. Which involved portfolio compilation covering canine anatomy and physiology, awareness of orthopaedic conditions, contraindications, and both practical and written exams. The course included instruction in the Lenton Method, Advanced palpation skills, Body Mapping, the 7 Protocols as well as multiple techniques across the disciplines of Swedish Massage, Sports Massage, Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue Massage.
Evidence based research on the Lenton Method by Winchester University, Canine Massage Therapy Centre Ltd and the Canine Massage Guild can be found here:

I am fully insured to work as a canine massage therapist and am a member of the Canine Massage Guild in recognition of my commitment to furthering my professional development and maintenance of professional standards.
