Senior Dog Home Care Workshop
Preparation for senior age and home care for senior dogs
Even healthy dogs naturally age over time. Small and medium-sized dogs have still full of energy when they are 6 to 7 years old, but in preparation for the aging, “senior period” that will soon arrive, you will learn your furkids’ changes in their bodies and behaviour, and care that you should be aware of.
Ages 6 to 7 are the “pre-senior period,” preparation period for comfortable senior years. It is a period in which pawrents can review furkid’s lifestyle habits, and prepare to comfortably enter the senior years, starting from a time when they are healthy and energetic before the onset of old age.
Be sensitive to signs of aging – pre-senior dogs are still young and show no noticeable signs of aging. However, aging does not suddenly occur when furkids enter their senior years; it begins gradually before that age, and symptoms of various diseases become more likely to appear from around the age of seven. If you know the signs of aging that will eventually appear, you can be aware of changes.
If pawrents start taking good care of their furkids from the pre-senior period, they can slow down the aging process and extend their healthy lifespan.
You will learn what you can do for your furkid at home, during the walk, before going to bed, or when your furkid spends most of her time in the bed. 3 days workshop at our centre.

Praise Touch for Pawrents
Praise Touch is touch care for your dogs or cats.
There are 20 types of touch for various situations, and the gentle touching with easy-to-learn techniques can help not only your furkids’ physical and mental health but also pawrent’s physical and mental health.
☞ You can easily practice mindfulness with your furkids.
☞ Induces oxytocin, which is beneficial for physical and mental health.
☞ Promotes autonomic nervous balance.
☞ Build furkids’ body and mind to overcome stress and increase their immune system.
“Touch triggers the release of oxytocin in animals, and the same thing probably happens in humans.”
What is Praise Touch?
Praise Touch is a touch care that gently touches the surface of your furkid’s body. Unlike massage, it is a care method that anyone can easily do every day, as it only involves light touch in various ways without applying pressure. It induces oxytocin, an internal hormone and neurotransmitter that has a dominant effect on the mind and body of both furkids and pawrents, promoting physical health and mental (mental and emotional) stability, and deepening the bond between each other.
Praise Touch also allows you to easily practice mindfulness by focusing on your breathing and moment-by-moment time with your furkid.
Praise Touch has 3 sets of routines: “I love you,” “good morning,” and “good night.”
Each routine consists of 6 to 8 types of touches (manipulations) that touch and care for your furkid’s entire body.
Praise Touch can be done anytime, anywhere as long as you have your hands and the heart to convey love. During a walk, in nature, relaxing at home, while traveling, etc. Enjoy Praise Touch mindfully with your furkids in a variety of situations.
