During the time Keny Glasscock spent with us obtaining his Huntsmith Certification, we were able to see results from his canine massage techniques. Keny is able to quickly identify and address tension in a dog's body. These techniques enable Keny to ease each individual dog's stress. A relaxed dog is more capable of adapting to its surroundings, dealing with mental or emotional issues, and is more receptive to the learning process. 

Daily massage sessions with Keny played a big part in developing two particular bird dogs in our kennel.  Both individuals were dealing with stresses in their own ways. One had the challenge of dealing with environmental stimuli by exuding nervous energy and the other was a very strong alpha personality that dealt with his stresses by showing aggression towards fellow canines, as well as people. There is no magical cure for the baggage these dogs were dealing with, however relaxing their bodies helped relax their minds, allowing them to be more receptive to their surroundings and to our training. Keny's massage sessions played a large role in allowing those dogs to become stronger, better socialized individuals.

Being able to read a dog's body language is a critical skill for any dog trainer. Keny's expertise in canine massage gives him a keen eye for reading a dog's body and behavior. This skill better enables Keny to care for all aspects of his training dogs and to bring out the best in each individual.
