I highly recommend this book. My dog is involved in agility and I got this book to help with her sore muscles. It seems to really help plus it has brought us even closer. The techniques are easy to understand and well illustrated. To do a full massage takes about 30 minutes and gives your arms a great workout.

From looking through and reading a few key chapters in this book, I found it to be a helpful and enjoyable read. It gave me a nice review of important definitions, structures, and functions of the canine anatomy. I did, however, think the anatomy drawings could be a little in depth, but that was not a major issue to me. If interested in canine PT or just in giving your faithful companion a relaxing massage, this would be a great book to add to your library!

This is an excellent comprehensive guide to canine massage. Topics listed in the table of contents are addressed in depth. Photos help to demonstrate the massage techniques described.
Mr. Hourdebaigt also has made a 90 min. video to complement this text. I haven't seen it but I am planning on ordering it. If the video is anywhere near as good as the book, it will be great addition.

an excellent book, clearly laid out with very thorough explanations.

This is a good book for veterinarians, technicians, or physical therapists wanting to work on dogs and cats. The descriptions of motions are very detailed, and the anatomy pics are good. I recommend it.
