Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need to know all your dog anatomy and physiology?
No. You will learn everything you need to know in the sessions. Also it is more important to know what things are by how they feel, not just memorizing some big Latin words in a textbook.
My dog doesn’t have any “pain” issues but is stiff and arthritic due to old age. Will these treatments help him?
Yes, for sure. This is a muscle therapy designed to “wake-up” muscles that have been chronically contracted over time. Almost all dogs get that arthritis diagnosis but after muscles are healthier they move better. It helps with overall quality of life.
Do these treatments help the very small dogs too?
Yes, small dogs have muscles too! I’ve helped people with their 2-3 pound dogs, and even though it takes a super light touch with teeny tiny movements, it still works. I’ve seen small dogs who seem nervous and uptight be more relaxed when they no longer have tight neck muscles. If the neck muscles are tight it is alarming to the nervous system because it thinks danger is lurking.
If you were told you have to get knee surgery right away but don’t have the funds to do it, is this worth a try?
So this is actually a very common predicament to be in for pet parents. This happened to my husband and I this past year. I’ll go into more detail in the program but the short answer is a big yes.
If I love doing the treatments for my dog, can I get certified to teach other Dog Parents to be able to do this Hunter Method too?
Yes, but not quite yet. I get asked this question a lot so I’m working on making a program. If you are interested, fill out the “Contact Us” form and let me know.
What if your dog is very skittish and has a hard time being still?
Well, instead of thinking you need to give the dog a whole treatment, sneak in moves and touches while you are just giving your baby attention. I know the more I did it with my dog, he stayed longer and longer for sessions. You can say it’s Hunter Time! To let them know they are going to receive some care.
