The Language of Touch At Dalmatia BnB, we believe that successful massage therapy relies heavily on understanding what our canine clients are telling us. Dogs communicate constantly through body language, and learning to read these signals is crucial for both therapists and pet parents.
Positive Signs During Massage
Relaxation Indicators: • Deep sighs • Softened eyes • Floppy ears • Relaxed tail • Loose body posture • Gentle leaning into touch • Slow, regular breathing • Falling asleep
Signs of Enjoyment: • Rolling over for belly access • Staying in position • Gentle tail wagging • "Happy" facial expression • Seeking more contact • Muscle release • Content groaning
For Anxious Dogs: • Start with observation only • Progress at their pace • Respect space needs • Watch for improvement signs • Celebrate small victories
