How much pain does your dog carry that you can't see?
Skilful somatic bodywork with the WEBB Method helps dogs and cats find relief from silent chronic pain, heal past trauma, and deepen their bond with you.
Dogs show pain differently to us.
Deep into the journey of developing the WEBB Method, my little dog Mitzi taught me that I was suffering from a condition I now call Gratuitous Veterinary Arrogance.
Mitzi lived with really bad pain for weeks, showing no obvious signs, because at that time I didn't realise that even I needed to assess my own dogs every few days. As it turns out, dogs often express discomfort in ways we are not trained to read.
"With skilful WEBB bodywork, dogs and cats can not only find relief from painful physical conditions, but also heal past trauma and the emotional tension it leaves behind."
Dr Edward Bassingthwaighte, BVSc(HonsII)
I've been teaching WEBB for dogs and cats for over seven years. Time and again, gentle, intentional touch unlocks comfort and ease that owners never knew their animal was missing.
The treatment listens before it acts.
By monitoring a dog or cat's subtle levels of communication, every WEBB treatment is led by the animal's own responses to touch.
Subtle changes around the eyes, brow and mouth that reveal discomfort or ease.
Shifts in rhythm and depth that show when a release is happening, or when to soften.
How an animal holds and shifts its body tells you where tension is being carried.
The body responds to touch in real time, guiding every moment of the treatment.
It deepens the bond you share.
Many people find that practicing WEBB with their dogs strengthens their relationship. It's always a lovely experience for both the human and the furry members of a family.
