Hush Puppy's Approach

Working with dogs has not only heightened Dara's sensitivity in working with people but has continued to teach her the importance of listening and how to listen.

Her background with energy work, Massage Therapy, several movement modalities, and artistic outlets, aids in the ability to relate and work with dogs.

 

This is not to say that it is our furry friends who teach and help us learn patience and provide comfort, among other life long skills.

My Bichon suffered a fracture of his femoral head of his rear leg. FHO surgery was performed and a 12 week recovery followed. The massage therapy was an integral part of his recovery. My dog made an amazing recovery maintaining his range of motion due to Dara's care and expertise.
