Hello all,
i am including a program idea for geriatrics. Over the past 3 months i have lost over 50% of my senior dogs (waaaa!). so need to build up this client base to help with cash flow...i posted this course outline and it was filled in 3 days, so running another one...

Week Four: Orthopedic & neurological issues of the senior dog

LAB - Traditional massage techniques & flexibility
Week Six: Making the house senior proof, assistive devices & Diet considerations
