@caninebodyworkonline: What does your dog do when you start working on their chest? Do they let their legs fall open... Lick or yawn... Or completely melt into the ground? Those little responses are communication from your dog. The chest (pectorals) are a key part of the thoracic sling-supporting the entire front end of your dog's body. Every step, every stride, every landing is absorbed here. When you start working in this area, many dogs show immediate signs of release because this is where tension quietly builds over time. And tight muscles here can affect how your dog moves, loads their front end, and carries themselves. In Canine Bodywork Online, we teach you how to safely work on the areas dogs most commonly hold tension. #caninearthritis #dogmassage #caninemassage #seniordogs #happydog
