Video and audio of poor quality - reminiscent of presentations of 20+ yrs ago. Takes a long time to get going - three of four videos watched and no practical info imparted yet. Here’s hoping the next few videos start to be more worthwhile.

Thank you I really enjoyed your class. I have a almost 13 year old German Shepherd who has arthritis and hip dysplasia. The cold weather does her no favors. The last few days she has been doing pretty good. Thanks to the acupressure Thank you. Hope you have more classes coming. It’s very interesting.

I enjoyed this course! A great thorough introduction to ac-points and the meridian system. I work with the chakra system in depth with animals and people. Adding acupressure massage will be a great addition to the energy work I do. I'm inspired to explore the meridian system further! Thanks so much!

I love this course - my dog has incontinence and I have yet to see if this will help this specific issue - but I have been practicing on him and he absolutely LOVES acupressure - its so much more helpful than just a pat -thank you!!

I happen to be taking this course at a time when my dog suddenly seems to be at deaths door. I am SO SO SO pleased with the thoroughly presented information. Thank you! I plan on learning more to add holistic pet care to my future practice. and My dog seems to immediately have a difference. I think this just may help him hold out a day or two and I hope to get him in to the vet after the holiday. Meanwhile I am grateful for the resources and detailed depictions.

This course was really good. I have 4 senior dogs that have arthritis and some other things going on. I started using this with them and I noticed they are limping less. Thank you for doing this class, it has been a savior for my babies.

while i'm sure the course is probably good for some people i don't have very good hearing so i use the transcripts to read alongside it and they are awful! so many spelling mistakes, unless you know the actual subject it would be impossible to follow, Acky points instead of acu points, oregon instead of organ, moorigans instead of meridians and that's just a small few, there are lots. i have studied human acupressure so i thankfully can make out most of them but its time consuming having to stop and start the visual. i would have preferred course notes i can print off and use for reference. also working on a black dog although she is lovely makes it impossible to see where fingers are being placed, i understand the difficulties of being in lockdown but a demonstration on a toy dog or model of a dog lighter in colour would have been useful alongside. the acu point sections are informative and Woo is better to see when outside. Jeanie is as always a great teacher, thank you

Thank you! I am grateful for all the information I have gain from this course. I recommend this training for all who want close link with their pet. The information is neatly stacked and the instructor voice is soothing. There are delivered acupressure points charts for both: dogs an humans, and I can do a parallel . Much thanks to you again, Jeanie Mossa!

Some of the information and demonstrations are very good. Some lessons open up with a topic only to say we will not be learning this! These topics dont need mentioning, seems they are time fillers! Another whole lesson opens up telling you to take a break, get a drink, stretch, kiss your dog etc. But this seems to again have no purpose as it only really has a place in a long lesson, because break opportunities are available between every lesson. Another lesson begins in talking about the accupressure points in ears and how these can be used, but turns out most of specific accupressure points can only be treated effectively with humans. The reason for this is that the method to place pressure on these points is by using ear seeds. She goes on to say never to use ear seeds with dogs incase of getting foreign body into ear, which is perfectly correct advise but another example of time/content filling moments to make a course look like it has many lessons & lots of content but this lesson again did not relate to animal accupressure. As a professional in this area i am sure she could have given a lot more valuable content to fill out the course.
