Sue at the Zoo

My move to Texas was much anticipated but was approached with much concern about where Holistic Touch Therapy canine massage and acupressure classes and the Pet Tech Pet Saver programs could be taught. I am so excited that the Texas Zoo (www.texaszoo.org) in Victoria has a wonderful air conditioned education facility that is available. Even better, their two resident Great Pyrenees, Jazz and Sarge, will participate in classes!



Save September 27-29 to come to the zoo and learn canine massage. Sue Furman teaches Canine Massage Preparation and Techniques (NCBTMB 24 CE) and Canine Massage Techniques (NCBTMB 24 CE) using a combination of PowerPoint™ lectures and demonstrations of massage strokes, interactive discussions with students and personal critiques of student hands-on mastery of massage strokes. She explains the groundwork necessary to prepare for a successful massage session, and the application and appropriate use of more than 30 Swedish massage strokes. Sue also discusses how massage encourages relaxation and healing of the dog's body, mind and spirit. A certificate of completion is awarded. Class size is limited.

On September 30, take the PetTech® PetSaver™ Class designed for pet owners as well as Pet Care Professionals and become certified in pet first aid and pet CPR. According to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) 1-out-of-4 more pets would survive, if just one pet first aid technique was applied prior to getting emergency veterinary care. Pet Saver teaches over 50 skills to help save your pet!

Spend busy mornings and afternoons learning and practicing hands-on techniques and choreographing massage routines for many specific conditions or practicing first aid techniques and CPR. On your lunch breaks, stroll through the zoo and meet some residents like the peacocks up close and personal as they freely wander the zoo grounds.
