Study Canine Holistic Health and Therapy Online Courses; Assess Each Dog That You Care For & Encounter  

The knowledge gained within these Canine Holistic Health and Therapy Online Courses will help to raise your awareness of the different types of therapy available to dogs.

The course will enable you to make a thorough assessment of each dog that you care for and encounter then, alongside any veterinary care, work out more natural options to enhance the life of the animal.

Holistic therapy for dogs is a course packed full of knowledge for dog owners and canine professionals alike.

Despite the interest in natural health for humans gaining great power the holistic health of our dogs is lagging behind. We are in the middle of a canine ill health epidemic and dog owners often consider the health of their pet exclusively a job for the veterinarian. In reality, providing our dogs with a visit to the vet when required and offering a regular bowl of commercial dog food is not enough.

These Canine Holistic Health and Therapy Courses will explore all of the other, often less invasive and kinder, dog health options available. We teach the fundamentals of canine holistic health whilst introducing all of the lesser explored natural approaches for dogs, to keep them healthy and happy well into old age.

Who would benefit from the Canine Holistic Health and Therapy Courses?

You will learn how the veterinarian, dog owner, and natural therapist can work perfectly together in order to provide the best possible holistic healthcare for the dog.

This course is ideal for all dog lovers and those looking to work in a canine related profession. It is also a fantastic study program to add to the Canine Nutrition Training course, which we also provide. Although each of the two is perfect as a standalone course the information given within each of them complements the other perfectly.

Canine Holistic Health and Therapy Online Course Outline

Module 1: What is Holistic Health?

Part 1: Health in Focus!

The word "holistic health" is frequently misunderstood or mislabeled as a form of natural therapy. In reality, holistic health is merely a necessary approach to overall well-being. Holistic health simply refers to the well-being of the entire animal.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Health in Focus!
  • What Does Holistic Mean?
  • Conventional Health

Part 2: Where Does Science Fit In?

Herbal medicines are sometimes overlooked when developing a treatment plan for an individual, and many scientists dismiss homeopathy, producing an unwarranted negative perception among the general population. Regrettably, this deprives people, as well as their dogs, of the opportunity to enjoy amazing holistic health advantages. Natural therapy can be performed by a therapist who has perfected the treatment. Holistic medicine is always performed by a certified doctor.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Natural Therapy
  • How Does Holistic Health and Therapy Apply to Dogs?

Module 2: Nutrition and Health

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Nutritional Balance
  • Dog Food Options
  • Commercial Complete
  • Complete and Table Scraps
  • Home Made Dog Food
  • Raw Feeding

Part 2: Food Intolerance or Allergy

Food intolerance and food allergy are frequently confused in people's minds; however, they are not the same. When a dog is intolerant to a meal, it affects the digestive system, whereas an allergy affects the entire immune system. Intolerance causes vomiting and intestinal problems, whereas allergy causes the immune system's cells to fight the allergen in the body.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Essential Veterinary Care

Part 3: 7 Dangerous Foods for Dogs Video

Module 3: Physical Health

Part 1: Physical Fitness

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Physical Fitness
  • Vaccination Options
  • Essential Social Learning for Puppies
  • Social Learning for the Developing Puppy
  • Pre-natal

Exercise might also help to reduce any tension that the dog has accumulated. It's vital to remember, though, that dogs are individuals with unique experiences. As a result, one animal may find relief from a particular sort of exercise, while another may find it extremely stressful. Because of the devastating impact stress can have on any animal, an in-depth study of stress is essential in a holistic health course.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Short Term Stress
  • Long Term Stress
  • Symptoms
  • The Trigger
  • Case Study
  • Treatment

Module 4: Mental Health

Part 1: What is Mental Health?

Mental health in dogs is becoming a more well explored topic, and this module will discuss what might go wrong, as well as how canine specialists may collaborate to help dogs maintain good mental health. Stress is one of the most common places where a dog may require psychological assistance in order to prevent health deterioration that arises from the mind rather than from physical dysfunction.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • What is Mental Health?
  • The Dog’s Mind
  • Dogs and Wolves

  • Behavior Modification
  • Natural Therapy

Module 5: Herbs and Flowers

Part 1: Herbs and Flowers 

Natural and complementary therapies, as well as their potential for application in holistic dog care, will be the focus of the next three modules. There are many different forms of natural therapies, each with its own set of supporters and detractors. This section of the course is intended to demonstrate numerous information about each of them.

Herbal medicines have been around for a long time. Natural remedies have taken a back seat in the treatment of both humans and canines as a result of the success of conventional medicine. Nonetheless, science is re-embracing the therapeutic power of plants and herbs. This session will expose you to the healing properties of herbs and flowers, as well as how they are employed in therapy.

The section then moves on to aromatherapy, and finally to Chinese medicine types and applications. Module six will teach you about some of the most common natural therapy kinds and how they fit into today's holistic dog care.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Homeopathy
  • Potentization 
  • Homeopathy and Serious Illness  

Part 2: Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a natural therapy or complementary approach to a dog's health based on the use of various oil kinds.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • How it Works
  • Topical Application
  • Inhalation
  • Ingestion

Part 3: Chinese Medicine

Chinese medicine is an old medicine with a wide range of treatments. Traditional Chinese Medicine is the most closely related treatment to self-contained holistic dog care. The traditional approach includes treating the dog with herbs to restore balance and well-being. 

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Acupuncture

Module 7: Massage and Manipulation

Part 1: Canine Massage

This module of the course delves deeper into the topic of different sorts of hands-on therapy. It will cover the fundamentals of massage, chiropractic therapy, and aquatic therapy. Hands-on therapy is highly beneficial in a variety of methods and for a variety of illnesses that dogs may face. There is a distinction to be made between treatment as covered in this module and therapy as a way of healing.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Canine Massage
  • Tellington Touch
  • Canine Touch

Part 2: Massage and Manipulation

Canine Chiropractic

Chiropractic treatment for dogs has evolved into a highly successful process that realigns the skeletal system, easing pressure on the muscular and neurological systems. The goal of this therapy is realignment, and the treatment is based on undoing abnormalities that have arisen on the body, head, or neck as a result of aging, illness, or trauma.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Hydrotherapy
  • Reiki
  • The Reiki Ideals

Module 8: Physical Assessment

Part 1: Weight Gain

The act of assessing the dog holistically will be covered in this section. This section of the course is intended to fine-tune the student's observation abilities in all aspects of the dog's health and well-being in order to make a holistic assessment of the animal's health or behavior.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Weight Gain
  • Thyroid Concerns

Part 2: Weight Loss

Weight loss is more likely to be caused by illness or an ailment than by a change in lifestyle. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of hypothyroidism and can result in rapid weight loss in dogs as well as restless, agitated, and agitated behavior. The dog's metabolism speeds up, causing food to be processed too rapidly, leaving the dog's body with little time to absorb nutrients.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Skin Problems
  • Digestive Problems

Part 3: Lameness and Limping

When evaluating a dog's general physical well-being, it's crucial to look at how the animal positions his body. The way a dog stands, walks, and reacts to physical contact is an excellent sign of what's going on beneath his skin.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • What Breed is the Dog?
  • How Does the Dog Stand and Walk?
  • How Does the Dog Feel and Act When Touched?
  • Joints in Focus

Module 9: Behavior

Part 1: The Alpha Dog Trainer

The ninth module will delve a little deeper into dog behavior. It will discuss how a dog learns to behave in a certain manner and what might be going on inside the animal to cause particular behaviors. Dog behavior is something that can, and probably should, be tackled from a holistic perspective.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • The Alpha Dog Trainer
  • Learned Helplessness- The Experiment

Part 2: Ownership Styles

The following ownership styles are common, and they can make it difficult for dogs and owners to get along because of a clash between canine behavior and personality and owner personality and ownership style. It's difficult to persuade owners to modify their style because it's akin to requesting a personality makeover.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Authoritarian Restrictive
  • Authoritative Flexible
  • Permissive
  • Holistic Behavior
  • Conditioning
  • Physical Concerns

Part 3: Sexual Behavior

A dog's behavior will vary as a result of hormonal changes in the body during puberty. Secondary sexual characteristics are what they're called. Due to an increase in testosterone throughout puberty, a male dog's secondary sexual characteristics develop and are triggered.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Specific Behavior Types
  • Stereotypes
  • Idiopathic
  • Self-mutation
  • Repetitive Behavior

Module 10: The Law

Part 1: The Law

  • The Law
  • Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, and Chiropractors
  • Manipulative Therapies
  • Animal Behaviorism
  • Faith Healing
  • Other Complementary Therapies

Part 2: Professional Relationships

Weight loss is more likely to be caused by illness or an ailment than by a change in lifestyle. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of hypothyroidism and can result in rapid weight loss in dogs as well as restless, agitated, and agitated behavior. The dog's metabolism speeds up, causing food to be processed too rapidly, leaving the dog's body with little time to absorb nutrients.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Skin Problems
  • Digestive Problems

Part 3: Lameness and Limping

Part 2: Ownership Styles

The following ownership styles are common, and they can make it difficult for dogs and owners to get along because of a clash between canine behavior and personality and owner personality and ownership style.
