Massaging your dog is quick and easy. Your dog will love the massage and you will have free time for him / her.

Steps

1. 1 Start at the dog's neck and use your fingertips to make circular motions.
2. 2 Slowly massage your neck and between your shoulders. This is usually the dog's favorite spot because it is one of the few spots that the dog cannot reach, so massage there longer.
3. 3 Continuing in a circular motion with your fingertips, slowly move towards your shoulders. If the muscles are a little tight here, spend a little more time in this area.
4. 4 After that, massage down to the front legs and chest.
5. 5 Massage back to your shoulders and slowly move down your spine.
6. 6 Continue to massage around the base of the tail and down to the hind legs.
7. 7 Repeat as many times as you want.

Tips

• With a smaller dog, just use your fingertips, but still apply pressure as needed.
• Dogs love to have their tummies scratched, take some time to just pet them.
• Dogs also love ear massage!
• Removing the collar frees your neck and makes massage easier.
• Massage time is also a good time to get the dog in shape.

Warnings

• Never forget to put on the collar after a massage! Especially if the dog often runs away without human supervision.
