Customer Reviews

Dog Massage book great deal!

Perfect book for someone like me that just wants to make sure I can make my German Shepherd feel good relief after a good hike or bike jog. If I'm sore, she probably is. The book is in great condition, affordable, not a novel in length, easy to read and easy to understand. Didn't know there was so much involved in the dogs responses, etc. Great for our down time and perfect for me. Completely satisfied.

Maggies Christmas present

Maggie - my 8 year old golden retreiver - loves the techniques. The are easily explained and easy to follow.

Cute book

I bought this book because my dog is ALWAYS wanting me to rub his belly. I wanted to shower him with some more affection, and I thought I would give this book a try. Although some of the tips are quite obvious (example: if your dog starts to nip, bite, or growl at a certain technique, you should stop that technique immediately) there is some good stuff in there. I think this book would be good for people who have older dogs, or ones with joint, hip, or arthiritis issues. Your pooches will thank you!

A great guide to Dog Massage!

This is one of those books which should be on every dog owner's shelf. Dog Massage gives you a complete guide plus careful instructions for getting your dog used to massage and getting him to enjoy it. A real winner!

A fun and instructive guide to quality time with your dog!

I gave this book to my friend, who adores her dog, and is in dog shows and competitions (Golden Retrievers) She loves it. She said it was fun to read, and she really is enjoying Maryjean Ballners techniques. They are well explained and easy to follow, with photos, showing the actual massages. I gave Maryjeans other book "Cat Massage" to another friend of mine, and he said all his neighbors are passing it around, and he hasn't even got a chance to read it yet! So for me, these books make a great gift for my pet loving friends.
