Dog Massage Method/Tips:
- To give a relaxing dog head and face massage, start by petting your dog's head and neck using long, continuous strokes. This will calm their nerves and get them used to your hands being on and around their face which can make some dogs skittish.
- Once they've calmed down, you can begin to use a sort of gentle pulling motion on the top of their head using the fingers of one hand, think of this motion like one of those wire head massagers you've seen.
- Now you can work on the ears. Gently cup the base of each ear in your hands. Using your thumbs, gently massage the area where the ear meets the head using circular motions. Now, gently rub your dog's ears between your thumb, forefinger and middle finger. Run your hand over the entire ear and then pull very, very gently on your dog's ears for 1-2 seconds.
- Moving downwards, use each of your thumbs to make tiny circular movements on your dog's brow working from the middle of the face outwards. Bring your thumbs back to the center and firmly smooth them over the brows, again, moving outwards. Once you're at the sides of your dog's head, use your forefinger and middle finger to make circular movements at your dog's temples.
- Lightly rub the length of your dog's snout with your thumb. Work from the top of the nose up to the top of the head.
- Using both thumbs, make small circular movements over both of your dog's cheekbones simultaneously. Follow your dog's cheeks from the nose, all the way up to just below the outer corner of their eyes. Be sure to use light pressure. Going back to either side of the nose and following the cheeks out, smooth your thumbs outward.
- Finish the massage off with more long, continuous pets all over the head, neck, and face. Throw in some ear scratches for good measure.
- Now, using both hands, gently place your hands over your dog's face and using firm pressure, slowly begin to smooth your hands up and out from the snout all the way to just behind the ears. This makes a nice, gentle face stretch.
