Canine Bodywork Professional Certification Bundle
The Canine Bodywork Professional Certification Bundle is designed for students who want to build a strong, diverse foundation in professional canine bodywork rather than learning just one modality.
This comprehensive program brings together six complementary courses—Canine Massage, Canine Craniosacral Therapy, Canine Kinesiology Taping, Animal Neuromyofascial Release (ANMR), Creating Flow, and Business 101—to help you develop both your hands-on skills and the professional foundation needed to work with clients.
Build a Broader Professional Toolbox
Throughout your training, you’ll explore canine anatomy, palpation, massage and soft-tissue techniques, craniosacral work, kinesiology taping, neuromyofascial techniques, movement and body awareness, practitioner-animal connection, and professional practice.
Most importantly, you’ll begin learning to look beyond a single technique and consider the individual dog in front of you.
Flexible Online Learning with Hands-On Experience
The program combines online, self-paced education with hands-on practical work, assignments, case studies, and instructor feedback, allowing you to develop your skills while working with real dogs.
Earn Multiple Professional Certifications
Rather than receiving only a general certificate for completing a bundle, you will work toward the individual professional certifications included in the program, giving you multiple credentials and a versatile toolbox of complementary modalities.
Whether you're preparing for a new career in canine bodywork or expanding an existing animal wellness practice, this bundle provides a comprehensive pathway for developing your knowledge, practical skills, confidence, and professional foundation.
Six courses. Multiple professional certifications. One comprehensive canine bodywork education.
Six Courses. Multiple Professional Certifications.
Your $3,400 tuition includes six complementary courses designed to help you build a broader professional foundation in canine bodywork, practitioner development, and business.
Canine Massage Certification
Build your foundation in professional canine bodywork through anatomy, palpation, assessment, and hands-on massage techniques. Learn how to evaluate the dog, work with major muscle groups, recognize areas of tension and compensation, and structure a thoughtful massage session.
Canine Craniosacral Therapy Certification
Explore a gentler approach to bodywork through craniosacral and fascial techniques, assessment, subtle palpation, and release work. Develop greater sensitivity to the dog's responses while learning to consider the interconnected nature of the body.
Canine Kinesiology Taping Certification
Learn taping principles, practical applications, safety, preparation, and technique. Discover how kinesiology tape can complement hands-on bodywork and provide support beyond the session itself for dogs with a variety of physical needs.
Animal Neuromyofascial Release (ANMR) Certification
Learn Dr. Angel's specialized Animal Neuromyofascial Release technique, developed to address soft-tissue and neuromyofascial patterns while considering compensation, movement, posture, and the animal as a whole.
Creating Flow
Develop greater practitioner awareness, observation, connection, and responsiveness. Learn to work with the individual dog in front of you rather than simply following a rigid sequence of techniques.
Business 101
Learn how to begin turning your education into a professional practice through business foundations, client management, documentation, marketing, revenue streams, and professional considerations.
This is more than a collection of individual courses.
Together, these six programs help you develop a broader toolbox, stronger hands-on skills, and a more complete professional foundation for working with dogs and their owners.
Building a Holistic Canine Bodywork Toolbox
Meet Denise and hear how her education in canine bodywork and holistic modalities has helped her develop a broad, integrated approach to supporting dogs.
In this student testimonial, Denise shares her journey through a wide range of canine bodywork and holistic healing courses with Holistic Animal Studies.
Her education has included Canine Massage, Acupressure, Cold Laser Therapy, Animal Neuromyofascial Release (ANMR), Craniosacral Therapy, Kinesiology Taping, Raindrop Therapy, and Aromatherapy, along with her background as a Reiki Master. She is also continuing her education through our Animal Communication Certification.
Denise's experience shows how multiple complementary modalities can come together to create a more adaptable and individualized approach to canine wellness.
Rather than relying on one technique for every dog, Denise has developed a diverse set of skills she can draw from based on the individual animal in front of her. She shares how these modalities can work together to support comfort, mobility, relaxation, and overall balance.
Her story also reflects the value of continued education. Each new modality adds another layer of understanding and gives practitioners additional options when working with dogs with different needs, personalities, histories, and responses to bodywork.
Why Denise's Story Matters
Denise didn't limit her education to a single modality. By studying massage, craniosacral therapy, kinesiology taping, ANMR, and other holistic approaches, she has developed a broader professional toolbox and a deeper understanding of how different techniques can complement one another.
That same philosophy is at the heart of the Canine Bodywork Professional Certification Bundle: helping students move beyond a one-technique approach and develop the knowledge, practical skills, and professional foundation needed to work thoughtfully with dogs and their owners.
Your education can become more powerful as your toolbox grows.
Build your skills. Explore complementary modalities. Learn to approach each dog as an individual.

Holistic Animal Studies is proud to offer professional education recognized and approved through respected organizations within the massage, animal bodywork, and holistic animal wellness industries.
Eligible to Pursue IAHAP Board Certification
Students who successfully complete the applicable Holistic Animal Studies canine bodywork training meet the educational requirements to apply to sit for the IAHAP Canine Bodywork Board Examination. Passing the independent IAHAP board examination provides graduates with an additional opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and pursue professional board certification.
Completion of a Holistic Animal Studies certification and IAHAP board certification are separate credentials. IAHAP maintains its own application, examination, fee, and passing requirements.
