Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program Review: It's definitely proven, for me at least. - My girlfriend moved in with me a few months ago and with her, a cute black cat. The only problem was that this cute black cat was traumatized and would spit, hiss and hit me whenever I would get near. It got so stressful in my home that I didn't know what to do anymore. Nothing I tried worked. I couldn't get through to this traumatized cat. I finally decided to pick up this book. I must have read only 20 pages or so and managed to approach the cat with those techniques I learned without her running away. When I finally got close enough to put my hand on her, she reluctantly allowed me to massage her for a few seconds. She freaked out a bit, hissed and slapped so I walked away gently maintaining a positive attitude. I was persistent yet patient and kept trying multiple times a day for about four days. To my surprise, in only four days she was beginning to ask me for massages. The massages went from 3 seconds with violent reactions to 30 or more minutes with reciprocal behavior. It's been about a week now and instead of running away from me and hiding, she jumps on my lap and lets me know she's ready for some love. My relationship with this cat went from being absolutely terrifying to positively loving and it took just one week. Now instead of her running away and hiding when she sees me, she waits for me at door when I come home and begs to be held. I am sure people who have traumatized pets will have different "time of recovery" results. I am assuming that I experienced a best case scenario, however the important things I took away from this book outside of massage technique is the perspective and attitude you must have to begin healing. You must believe this is going to work. At first I didn't. I thought this cat was far too traumatized to be helped. I am glad I was wrong. All she needed was love, attention and a patient yet persistent approach with a sprinkle of gentle. A word of advice. If you've never received a massage you should try it. See how it feels and what you like and don't like. When you begin your pet massage you should try and imagine how what you are doing would feel for you. A frame a reference is key to understanding how gentle to be and where to touch. In short, I found this book to be very helpful and I am very happy to have picked it up. If you are willing to see healing through a new perspective and try alternative treatments, you will find that trauma related negative behavior can be healed physiologically through physical touch. It's pretty amazing. You will see a complete change in personality and experience reciprocal love. Don't give up and don't be discouraged no matter how long it takes. And never ever be angry with your cat. Instead give them love and affection. It's never their fault they carry trauma. It is up to you to show them the power of healing and they will love you for it. This book will help you do just that. Review: I enjoyed it tremendously also - Compassionate book. It gave me the confidence to massage my dog knowing what everything was that I was touching and how to be sure I wouldn't be hurting him. The very first time I gave him a massage, he absolutely melted with pleasure. He was not alone, I enjoyed it tremendously also. He gets massages often now. I feel the magic of bonding with him across species lines and the thrill of getting to know his body and he to feel my love and caring for him. As I do this with him more, I will better know his body and reactions and be in an ideal position to locate any places he is hurting and how I can best help him heal if he is ill. If you want a strong bond with your dog, this is a great place to learn about doing that. Dr Fox is very compassionate and caring for all animals. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #147,811 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #60 in Acupuncture & Acupressure (Books) #78 in Massage (Books) #168 in Exercise Injuries & Rehabilitation | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (283) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.4 x 8.25 inches | | Edition | Revised | | ISBN-10 | 1557045763 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1557045768 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | March 4, 2004 | | Publisher | William Morrow Paperbacks | ## Images ![Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TPEpreJbL.jpg) ![Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814ZdrzBacL.jpg) ![Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P3BC5M73L.jpg) ![Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ldcraXN9L.jpg) ![Healing Touch for Dogs: The Proven Massage Program - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31SmM+wQ9dL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's definitely proven, for me at least. *by J***E on January 22, 2010* My girlfriend moved in with me a few months ago and with her, a cute black cat.

Although I was already intuitively doing a lot of what's described in this book, it does provide some new options for me. I gave it only a 4 because a lot of the information wasn't new to me. For someone newer to being the servant of cats, this is an EXCELLENT resource (probably a 5 star book) for learning how to interact physically with your cats, and what you learn in this book will bring both of you loads of good times and pleasure, as well as mutual healing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5815188-healing-touch-for-dogs-the-proven-massage-program](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5815188-healing-touch-for-dogs-the-proven-massage-program) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
