How to give a dog a massage

Head massage can be given to the dog’s head, focusing on the two acupuncture points below the base of each ear, the centre of the head and the eye, with the intensity adjusted to the dog’s response. For neck massage, massage the underside of the head in a circular motion with the fingertips, without too much pressure as this may cause pain to the dog. Shoulder massage. Move along the neck and apply gentle pressure to the middle of each shoulder.
