The Canine Touch is a hands on technique that has the capability to affect the whole animal - body and mind. Optimizing the function of soft tissue, balancing the nervous system and positively affecting the body energetically can ‘open the door' for the natural healing (physical and emotional) to work to its potential.

One of the primary goals of Canine Touch is to encourage and promote relaxation of the dog. Relaxation leads to decreased stress and triggers the releases of many important substances and hormones important to the healing process. In this state the body can maximize its inborn ability to heal and cure itself, thus returning to a healthy and balance state.

The technique can help to release tight muscles, reduce the pain spiral, improve the blood and lymphatic circulation, allow neuro-muscular re-education and increase awareness of the nervous system.
