The Wise Caretaker: Holistic Canine Wellness & Advocacy
At the Ojai School of Canine Massage, we believe that every dog guardian has the potential to be their dog’s greatest health advocate. Our “Wise Caretaker” series is designed to empower you with the tools, touch, and intuition needed to support your dog’s physical and emotional well-being throughout their entire life journey.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Care
Our curriculum goes beyond simple massage. We integrate a variety of holistic modalities to ensure a well-rounded approach to your dog’s health:
