"For several years my dogs have benefited from Lynn Vaughan and Deborah Jones' Bodywork for Dogs techniques. How wonderful to finally have a video that I can use at home.

Lynn Vaughan and Deborah Jones were foundation faculty for my dog camp. Wiz Kid Dog Camp was envisioned as a camp for the canine athlete. I knew the high quality, integrity and effectiveness of Lynn and Deb's teaching would be integral to the success of the camp. Wiz Kid Dog Camp attracted top competitors from the world of canine sports. Their Bodywork for Dogs techniques balanced the physical stresses of agility, obedience, tracking, lure coursing and herding - grounding the dogs and their handlers. Relationships were deepened as handlers were trained to put their hands on their dog's bodies with an intuitive, loving touch while learning to appreciate the effect of the physical demands they were placing on their canine competitors. They also learned to understand the emotional and spiritual aspects of supporting the canine athlete.

As guardian for my own afghan hounds, the Bodywork for Dogs techniques have been invaluable - giving me a sense of empowerment to help my own dogs through post-surgery trauma, stiffness from arthritis, performance stress and the multitude of problems related to aging. With the teachings of Bodywork for Dogs, my relationships with my own animal companions have deepened with intuitive touch, love and a heightened commitment to their physical and emotional well-being."

"As someone who works with prison inmates, teaching them how to raise and train guide dogs for the blind, I am critically aware of techniques which are especially helpful for the dogs and for the inmates themselves. The Bodywork for Dogs video's techniques are very helpful tools. Each night, the inmates give their dogs full body massages. Not only does this help the person and dog bond, it allows the dogs, from eight weeks of age on, to be fully comfortable being handled all over their bodies. This comes in handy when the dogs go to the vet or, later, when they are guide dogs and their blind owners check them for bumps or cuts.

The inmates love this special time with their dogs and the techniques which Lynn and Deborah have perfected. They feel that body massage allows them to connect with their dogs on a different level, allows them to savor the quiet time together, and allows them the opportunity to just settle down at the end of the day. Body massage of the pups is an integral part of how Puppies Behind Bars works with our dogs and the Bodywork for Dogs methods of massage are the best we have seen."

"It has been my good fortune to have worked with Lynn and Deborah through many medical and surgical situations with their own animals and some wild animals. Their dedication and sensitive insight was always an inspiration to me both personally and professionally as they sought wholeness for each of these special friends. Now, with Bodywork for Dogs, many people can approach their dog's care with an enlightened awareness of what bodywork can offer - for both the dog and the human companion!"

"Once a week, I shut the hub-bub of a busy week away and share bodywork sessions with Trevor and Riggs. I follow along with the Bodywork for Dogs video - and my dogs and I connect along an extremely deep and meaningful path.

Both my dogs are performance athletes. These bodywork sessions have been invaluable not only to their conditioning and flexibility, but also to our connection as teammates, as we compete in agility, obedience, tracking and herding.

Thanks to this well-researched, accurate, multi-functional and beautiful bodywork video, I have a tool to transform very special time I spend with Trevor and Riggs. It's a little bit of heaven we share once a week."

"I found this video extremely informative. It was easy to follow the instructions and has provided me with a new way to relate to my dog. He's ten years old and seems to appreciate the gentle strokes. I'd recommend this video to anyone who cares about dogs."

"As the owner of a petsitting business, I am in touch with many dogs on a day-to-day basis. I've found that the Bodywork for Dogs techniques help to relieve the stress that the lonely, sometimes anxious and even aggressive dogs feel. I've become more conscious of the dogs' general health and well-being by using the video's techniques, which enable me to do my job with greater understanding.

Newton, our 14 year old SPCA lab-setter rescue, has a weak back and hips, which improve noticeably with the massage my husband and I have learned from the video. He's one of the sweetest dogs we've ever known and the fact that we can help him be more comfortable makes us feel great!

After watching Bodywork for Dogs, I'm more aware of myself and the dogs. Its heartwarming to have the dogs physically enjoy the massage, and moving to experience the bond it creates. I'm touched by the love I recognize in my own dog's eyes now, and that of my customers' dogs, through the connection we've made using intuitive touch this video has taught me.

Thanks Lynn and Deb for providing animal lovers and caretakers with this information."
