The Relaxed Dog

The Relaxed Dog Canicross & Canihiking Coach. Canine Remedial Massage Therapist,
Canine Fitness & Conditioning, Reiki, & Podcaster Like you, I love dogs.

Hi there, I'm Robert and I hope that you and your dog are well. No other species has adapted and bonded to humans than our canine friends. This makes them very special indeed as I'm sure you already know. Whilst every dog is unique, they are all made up of bones, muscles and organs underneath. Your dog has around 320 bones and 700 muscles, with the muscles making up around 40-50% of your dogs weig

ht. It's the muscles that I'd love to be able to help you and your dog with. I believe that a number of different issues can be helped by stimulating appropriate muscles with various massage techniques. Scientific research has shown many benefits of massage therapy including;

Relieve muscle tension

Increase flexibility and motion range

Improve blood and lymphatic circulation

Help prevent injury and illness

Alleviate pain

Assist in recovery after surgery and exercise

Improves mood

Reduce anxiety

​

Just like us, dogs will enjoy many benefits from receiving a massage.

​

Important note: If you have any medical concerns about your dog I strongly advise you to contact your vet for advice.

Hi everyone. To celebrate the doors opening to my 8 week Couch to Cani course, I'm offering it for 50% off. The course will cover all the basics (plus more) and is designed for beginners. If canicross is a bit too much for you, canihiking is the way to go (the content applies to both). Don't worry about your current level of fitness, the course is personalised for you and your dog. Together we will work towards a goal you set. So, what are you waiting for. More information at

Ed, Arya and I enjoyed a nice easy 9km run (canicross) in Ourimbah State Forest this morning. Afterwards, Arya supervised Ed and me for a few hours as we did our bit for Clean-up Australia Day (we pulled out a stereo system, printer, car parts, heaps of other stuff and an incredible 35 tyres).

For those visiting Strickland State Forest, be aware of the falling Bunya pine cones at the end of the arboretum, near the gate to the Eco-village. They're almost the size of bowling balls, and just as hard.
