PetMassage Training & Research Institute - PetMassage Aquatics - Aquatic Massage Hydrotherapy

John and his team are the absolute best people. My wife and I cannot express how wonderful this establishment is. Our Aussie loved his weekly sessions and we recommend John to every dog owner we know in the Toledo area and beyond. We’re so lucky to have Aquatic Pet Massage in Toledo! Much love from Madison Wisconsin. Can’t wait to bring Jordy back this autumn. 💗💗💗

Everyone at Pet Massage was very knowledgeable about the needs of our Pointer who had incontinence. The aquatic massage therapy worked wonders. Our dog is all around healthier in every way!!

So glad I found this place, it has helped my dog Rocky (a tripawd) so much I cant thank Jonathan enough. Also Brooklyn , Rocky is so at ease and relaxed with her. Recommend this place to everyone and their furbabies.

My dog was there to be a student for the water massage class and he loved it. The place is safe and clean. All the people working with him were friendly and patient with my dog. Looking forward to going back!!

Jonathan and Anastasia are such amazing and loving instructors! I just finished the Foundation level class and I wish I had done it sooner. They made the workshop easy to learn, fun and they built my confidence at the same time. I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering pet massage!

Having just returned from the most AMAZING week of training at the PetMassage academy in Toledo, OH, all I can say is WOW! Anastasia and Jonathon are a great team. From lectures and hands-on workshops I learned so much about canine bodywork and a lot about myself too! I highly recommend this training for anyone who wishes to purse canine massage as a career, or even just as a way to develop a greater relationship with their own dogs.

Jonathan and Anastasia are a wealth of knowledge and support. I recently completed the hands-on portion of the fundamental level course. When you make the decision to experience this wonderful educational experience you will be so glad you did, and wish that you had done it years earlier! Get set to connect with the dogs and yourself in a deep and meaningful way through learning this valuable skill. The class will also teach you a true sense of self-awareness, a better way to relate to others, and unparalleled lessons in canine handling. Thank you both so very much!

Having just completed the PetMassage Foundation Level Workshop, Im so glad that I decided to travelled from Queensland, Australia to Toledo, Ohio.The PetMassage Foundation Level Workshop is a wonderful introduction to a very natural, gentle and empathetic way of connecting with a dog.I dont believe there is a course anywhere in the world that provides such a strong foundation of knowledge.I wanted to explore beyond anatomy and behaviour into the energy of the dog and this workshop has given me that experience and insight.Thank you Jonathan and Anastasia for your open and heartfelt sharing.

Petmassage changed my dogs life! I have a 6 year old pitbull who has an old injury to one of his hind legs. The vet was concerned for a possible ligament injury and recommended medication that would help with the pain, but in turn sedate him so he wouldn’t be as active. They said surgery wasn’t an option just yet. MyPup would often use the injured leg as little as possible, even at times having difficulty making it up the stairs or jumping onto his favorite place, the couch. After research, i found pet massage. After the first session I noticed improvement in his ability to walk. He started to use the injured leg more often than not. After the second session, he is walking and running normally! Like nothing ever happened! He climbs up stairs with ease, jumps onto the couch, and plays like he is a puppy. So thankful to have stumbled upon pet massage, it really does work!!

Our experience was wonderful !! Jonathan did a excellent job making our Cat yes Cat feel safe in her water therapy. She was scared at first but then she started to relax and swim. She felt absolutely safe with her therapist in the pool. Cat owners do not be afraid to try this.

I completed the Advanced Pet Massage course last week and I must say, it was AMAZING! If I hadnt experienced it first-hand, I wouldnt have believed all the new ways to feel, touch, assist . . . I have a whole new toolbox of techniques to further my practice in North Florida.This was one of the most amazing learning experiences I have ever had: sessions on dog handling, bodywork, energy (chi) flow . . . I was so excited that I signed up for the advanced class!

I would describe aquatic bodywork or floatation as very concentrated therapy. Ive been in traditional talk therapy with a psychiatrist for the past 30 years (age 16 to 46, Im a walking longitudinal study). While talk therapy helped me a lot, I have seen much, much faster progress in the pool than on the couch. I feel calm, at peace, and the change in the quality of my relationships is like night and day. Im able to learn about myself, release, and heal in a way that is so natural and free of resistance. Perhaps thats because this modality involves the physical body, not just the mind and emotions. I didnt realize how much tension and trauma my body held on to, until I felt an unreal amount of it ooze out of me. Id recommend floatation to anyone. At the very least, you can relax in warm water for an hour. But I suspect, most folks will get more from the experience than just unwinding or satisfying their curiosity about a remarkable new healing modality. Try it.

I have been taking my dog to Pet Massage for several years. Jonathan and Anastasia are amazing people. I have always felt that the massage work Jonathan did for my dog Luke was highly beneficial. However, I now need to amend to the word beneficial to AMAZING. About three weeks ago Luke had surgery on his leg. My immediate thought was to have Jonathan work on Luke to help in the healing process. During the first session, Jonathan worked in other parts of Lukes body to get the blood flowing to the incision site in order to aid in the healing process. Prior to the massage Lukes leg was hot and beet red, after the session the leg was pinkish and much cooler. Luke was much more comfortable. The second session also produced amazing results. Prior to the third session Luke felt comfortable enough to begin walking on all fours. These three sessions were all within the first two weeks of his surgery. And the story doesnt end there.During Lukes recovery we spent my hours outside. We live on a corner in a dog friendly neighborhood. Many of the pet owners walk their dogs daily if not more. Over the years we have befriended many people and their dogs. Many people stop by daily and say hi and to see how Luke is doing. Countless dog owners have remarked how well Luke is recovering and how speedy the process has been. These are unsolicited remarks. So, this testimony goes beyond my belief in the power of pet massage.

Jonathan and Anastasia are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. They are passionate about their business and sharing PetMassage so that more people and dogs may benefit from it. If you are passionate in making a difference in the lives of dogs in a very special way, this class is for you.

Jonathan and Anastasia are absolutely amazing. They are fantastic teachers who openly share their incredible depth of knowledge in a fun and easy to understand way. They put their heart and soul into every student to make us the best we can be. I HIGHLY recommend taking their classes !!!

I can’t say enough great things about PatMassage, LTD. Jonathan Rudinger is awesome. The vet could not figure out what was wrong with my 11 year old dog. Smoky was not able to go up and down my front porch step or get into or out of my car withot me lifting him. The medication that the vet gave me made Smoky worse. After one Water massage session my dog was able to go up and down my front porch step and get in and out of the car. In addition, regular massage sessions have brought my dog back to life. Smoky is now able to walk a mile and a half. I am forever grateful for all that Jonathan Rudinger and his staff did for Smoky. I would recommend PerMassage, LTD.for anyone who has a dog having difficulty walking getting up and down etc. I also recommend petMassage, LTD. to anyone who just wants to have a happy and healthy dog.

I just completed the Foundation Level Workshop. Jonathan Rudinger and his team ( Anastasia, Diane, Monica and Beth) are phenomenal !!!! The personal growth and self awareness I experienced during this 5 day course is INVALUABLE!!! Jonathans passion in teaching what he LOVES is contagious! I feel honored to have learned ( and will continue to learn) from the very BEST !!!! Thank you so much Jonathan for sharing your passion. I will see you again for the advanced course :)

I want to thank Jonathan for his passionate and quality work as well as for his 5 stars newsletters. Especially the one posted on the 31st of January 2017 is so true and enlightened and I really needed it ! Its a tough period and I felt that massaging dogs would affect them with my unbalanced energy, so I stopped. I didnt think about the team work I could do at least with my dog in order to regain my balance and give good back. Thank you for your support. Thank you for being present.Thank you for being you.

I have completed the foundation level with the institute and the advanced class workshop. I highly rate the institute for anyone with serious interest in learning canine massage for personal use or for starting a business.The Rudingers are professional in all aspects of their business and deeply committed to dogs and the advancement of canine massage.Plus they are the pioneers in the industry. LEARN FROM THE BEST!

My Frank is so relaxed now after his first timeHe will continue coming back for more

I attended their Foundation Level Program last June and it was a wonderful experience! What made this place stand out from the others, is not only the quality of knowledge that Jonathan and Anastasia shared with us, but the overall human and personal approach. I loved it so much I signed up for the Advance Level Program next spring!

I took the foundation program and I learned so much about canine massage! I went to human massage school in 2017, but I still learned more techniques that were never discussed in human massage school. This class is great for anyone interested in helping animals.
