Amanda Ainsworth
Amanda is a very caring, kind person. She has been giving my 2 agility dogs massages for nearly 2 years now after they were assessed as having Myofascial Pain.
Amanda has kept them in tip top condition enabling to carry on competing at agility. Amber getting to the highest grade. Only last week she noticed a lump on Bella that I hadn't detected, and I then took Bella to the vets to make sure all was ok.
Both my dogs love Amanda and are so pleased to see her and look very relaxed when she is massaging them.
I can highly recommend Amanda

I was recommended to Amanda through my dog walker. My dog Bertie started walking with a really bad limp, after being attached by another dog and after attending my vet they wanted to do X-rays as they thought he had hip displacer. This proved very expensive so decided to try Canine Massage.
I cannot believe the difference in him, he just lays there and falls asleep snoring. Bertie has had 3 massages so far and after the last one he is so much better.
I would certainly recommend anyone to Amanda of Hound Help Canine Massage.

George’s second massage today to help with lumbar pain. His second massage ended with George feeling frisky enough to do spinny’s and start play with my other greyhound Lass. You can tell the difference when he shakes that it is helping.
See you next visit!

Amanda is amazing, she came out twice to massage my 14-year-old boy who was struggling with arthritis and actually told me his shoulders were more of an issue in terms of tension. He wasn’t keen at first but by the end of the session was well relaxed and second session much more chilled.
My 8-year-old girl loved it too and Amanda found a little twinge in her neck area that is now much better.
Definitely will be seeing her again and would recommend as she was so good with my fur babies.

When my dog had been limping for a couple of weeks, had two visits to the vet without result, I was recommended to Amanda. She was patient and very thorough with Holly who was fidgeting the whole time. Amanda identified the problem and a little toe injury was quickly resolved the next day at the vet.
Since then Holly goes to Amanda for overall body massages to relieve tension and help her relax. Holly attends a number of training classes and can be a lunatic charging in the woods after the squirrels so does become stiff across her shoulders and down her spine, canine massage has helped alleviate this. Thanks to the calm, professional confidence of Amanda, Holly now enjoys these sessions.
I would highly recommend Canine Massage and Amanda.

Took my ex racer Homer to Amanda for a massage to loosen him up a bit and he loved it 😁
Amanda is very knowledgeable and educated me on some the of the trials and tribulations of owning an ex-racer, even found corns which the vet missed.

I was quite bemused as to how massage would work, Dilly is quite a live wire and I couldn’t imagine her lying still for any length of time to get the benefits.
I was very surprised at how Dilly responded! She was surprisingly calm and co-operative most of the time, Amanda was brilliant with her and Dilly really liked her and her calm approach when being handled. Amanda was very patient at all times with Dill even at times when Dilly wasn’t co-operating fully.
Dilly has been very chilled and relaxed as a result of the treatments, after the first massage she was very unlike her normal manic self and was very chilled. She was less reactive too; both outside and indoors. It was actually lovely to see her completely relaxed in the evening and not her manic self; chasing in and out of the garden and generally on the go the rest of the time! I hope it continues …

I was very interested to see how massage would help Loula, she was very well behaved throughout, and I think overall, she enjoyed it. Amanda was excellent with her handling of Loula.
I felt Loula was definitely moving freer after the massages and she has re-joined my younger dogs on their longer daily walk – very happy all-round.

Amanda was very focused, reassuring, patient and calming, during the first session Maggie was unsettled and fidgety but by the last (third) session she was completely relaxed. The stiffness in the joint has eased and Maggie is walking without a limp.

I was keen to try canine massage, my dog Muttley is always throwing himself about and injuring himself. He has also slowed down and I hoped that he would feel better and I would know more about his problems.
Muttley really seemed to enjoy the massages, he was relaxed and happy but he reacted to pain points. Amanda was confident and gentle with Muttley, he was very relaxed after the treatments and full of beans the next day, I understand Muttley better, his aches and pains.
Thank you, Amanda

Amanda of Hound Help Canine massage will help both you and your dog, she is extremely professional, knowledgeable and most importantly very caring.
Her sessions with my dog have helped him tremendously both from a structural point of view and a holistic point of view where he is able to totally relax in a safe surrounding and I fully recommend her.

I was interested in massage and optimistic that it would be of benefit to Ralph, I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxed Ralph was during the treatment sessions; at certain points, he was almost asleep which was lovely to see.
Amanda was brilliant in her approach to Ralph, he can be a nervous dog due to his history but he was completely relaxed and compliant with her always and she was very calm and reassuring with him. He has been amazing, after the first session there was a remarkable improvement in Ralph’s overall demeanour and energy levels. This has continued throughout the treatments and it is lovely to see him get his ‘mojo’ back and to be running freely again.
I can’t thank Amanda enough, massage has surpassed my expectations in such a short time.
