Whether you are planning to take a course or just want to understand more about your favorite canine, you will find this course helpful in mastering the required basics. This guide was designed to help you prepare for the Caninology® Canine Body Worker Certification (CCBW) Course, Myofascial Release, Canine Biomechanics and Gait, and other courses offered by Caninology. It’s a great standalone course for any program you plan to attend Successful students have reported spending at least 55 to 150 hours studying before taking any of these courses. You should plan to spend at least 100 hours with this study guide if this type of material is new to you before attempting to take a course. If you intend for this online anatomy course to prepare you for an upcoming instructor-led onsite course, try leaving an hour and a half every day to study the material. Students who are attending Caninology® Body Worker Certification Course or another Caninology course do not necessarily have to have this guide completed in full, but you should be very familiar with the skeletal system before attending. Learning a good portion of the terminology and vocabulary also clears the way for you to listen to all the other material presented during course presentation. Please bring this manual to class with you. Please make sure you accept the Facebook Group Invitation. In the FB group you can ask questions and have access to shared resources. You will have the opportunity to talk with the other people in the Facebook Group. Instructors and moderators will be monitoring the group to answer questions regarding the material contained within this study guide. Please keep in mind that we cannot give you advice regarding the health of your dog(s). When you are ready to take your exam please write the office at [email protected]. Currently the exam is written and you will be sent a copy to download and complete then scan or mail back within one month. We do plan to have this exam go electronic and when this happens you will be give a link to complete it. Once opening it you will have 4 hours to do this. Remember you have 3 attempts. Again, please remember this course does not need to be completed in its entirety to attend the onsite course. However, for your certification as a CCBW you will need to have it done then. Take the time to follow this guide in the order presented. It builds on itself. If you do this, you will find it lays a nice foundation enabling comprehension of muscle names without memorizing them. If you memorize something without an understanding of it, the name doesn’t stay with you long. In this guide, I do not start on the muscles themselves. Starting with the skeletal structure and its bony landmarks, along with terminology and vocabulary, gives you a basic road map to canine anatomy. After that, it’s basically point A to point B (origin to insertion) for muscle orientation. Knowing where the muscles lie allows you to visualize the function without memorizing. Well, maybe it’s not quite that simple, but it works a good portion of the time! 4 Study Tips 1. For the vocabulary and terminology sections, make flash cards using 3 x 5 index stock. Write the term on the front and a brief description on the back. Writing it out is a good exercise in itself. 2. Plates are provided for directional terms, surface markings, and the bones. Make lots of copies of these for yourself. Fill them out until you’ve got it down. If you can’t make copies, purchase a pad of tracing paper and lay it on top of the original practicing until you improve. 3. The muscle plates are included. You are not expected to have these memorized before coming to class, but they should be familiar to you. You can make flash cards with these by reducing the drawing, highlighting an individual muscle and writing it on the back. Again, writing it out is a good exercise. Some people have them laminated and purchase erasable or overhead markers to color on the plastic. 4. Remember that anatomy is a three-dimensional subject. You need to look at the muscles on the pages then find them on your dog. Use varying types of bodies if possible. 4. Organize the material in a manner that makes sense to you. Only do a little at a time. Too much is overwhelming. If you get stuck, move forward. 5. Purchase a good veterinary terminology workbook. The book; An Illustrated Guide to Veterinary Medical Terminology by Janet Rombach is excellent. If you are attending the CCBW certification course you will need to have The Dog Anatomy Workbook by Maggie Raynor and it is highly recommended as one of your resources for learning canine anatomy and is required for the onsite course. On a final note, I’d like to remind you to get up and move around after each 45-minute session you study. Please don’t wait until the last minute to go over this material if attending an onsite course. You have much more information to go over in class. You should be fresh — you don’t want to be tired at the start of the class. Remember, we do go over this material if some of the things are not making sense or you just can’t seem to get your brain around a term or two. Often you have to hear the terms quite a few times until they stick. We do expect you to be quite comfortable with the terminology, directional terms, surface anatomy and the skeletal plates before you come to class. You’ll find the class demanding but entertaining. Doors are already opening...

Massage can bring an anxious animal a newfound sense of comfort and happiness, help an injured animal to recover faster, to help an older, inactive dog to gain more mobility, strength, and energy than they had before, and to bring a sad, lonely, depressed dog back to his or her happy place. Massage releases feel-good endorphins, eases tense muscles, helps rid the body of soul and body-poisoning toxins, and helps bring animals a higher quality of life than they have known since puppyhood, and, if they were born with physical difficulties, to enjoy a quality of life they have never known before. What you’ll find amazing about caning bodywork is how much dogs and humans can develop a deeper, more intricate bond through the sheer power of touch. 7 Section One: About Dogs A brief history of canine massage Canine massage is an ancient and holistic art that promotes health and wellbeing in dogs. Among its many benefits, canine massage promotes improved joint flexibility, increased oxygenation, relief from pain, helps to relieve age-related problems, brings some relief from pain after injury, eases the discomfort of arthritis or hip dysplasia, provides relief from chronic pain through the release of pain-squelching endorphins, and can help to reverse muscle atrophy from lack of exercise or disuse.

  • Folliculogenesis and Fertilization in the Domestic Dog: Application to Biomedical Research, Medicine, and Conservation
    FOLLICULOGENESIS AND FERTILIZATION IN THE DOMESTIC DOG: APPLICATION TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICINE, AND CONSERVATION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Jennifer Beth Nagashima August 2015 © Jennifer Beth Nagashima FOLLICULOGENESIS AND FERTILIZATION IN THE DOMESTIC DOG: APPLICATIONS TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICINE, AND CONSERVATION Jennifer Beth Nagashima, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 Understanding of reproductive biology in canids, including the domestic dog, is surprisingly limited. This includes the regulators of ovarian follicle development, and mechanisms of anestrus termination, fertilization and embryo development. In turn, this lack of understanding has limited our ability to develop assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for endangered canid conservation efforts. ART of interest include in vitro follicle culture for maternal genome rescue, estrus induction protocols, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here, we describe: 1) Studies evaluating the stage-specific requirements for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and activin on domestic dog follicle development in vitro. We demonstrate the beneficial effects of FSH and activin on growth, and activin on antrum expansion and oocyte health in short term culture. 2) Evaluation of serum collected during the anestrus to estrus transition revealing a significant increase in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) during proestrus, likely originating from increased numbers of antral follicles during this time. 3) The birth of the first live puppies from IVF embryos utilizing in vivo matured oocytes. Further, consistently high rates of embryo production are obtained using the described system, with no effect of progesterone supplementation to embryo culture media.

  • Evolutionary Nutrition for the Dog
    Evolutionary Nutrition for the Dog Written by Sarah Godfrey Edited by Dr. David Ruish DVM Distributed by Going to the Dogs Inc. HISTORY OF THE DOG The dog/human relationship began approximately 15, 000 years ago. Man gave canines food from the hunt in return for protection at their campsites through the night. Man chose favorable characteristics in these wild canines such as submissive behavior, keen senses to accompany man on the hunt and protective instincts so as to alert the camp of danger. Here began the first breeding programs and domestication of the dog. From the beginning, man has valued the dog for his carnivorous and opportunistic Canis lupus—the Gray wolf nature. His ability to problem solve, form strong family bonds with those around him and form packs with a strict hierarchy has played a significant role in the domestication of the species. Fifteen thousand years of selective breed- ing may have changed some superficial characteristics and behaviors of our canine companions, but on the inside they have remained virtually unchanged. High carbohydrate, dry dog food diets have been created in the last 80-100 years. On the evolutionary scale, this is not a significant amount of time compared to the millions of years dogs have spent specializing as meat eaters. It is likely that this short period of time does not allow for any drastic changes in the physiology and anatomy of a species. TAXONOMY Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae Genus: Canis Species: Canis lupus Subspecies: Canis lupus familiaris In 1993, after the DNA testing of Canis lupus (the wolf) and Canis familiarus (the dog), The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and the American Society of Mammologists renamed Canis familiarus as a subspecies of the wolf: Canis lupus familiarus.

  • Small Animals Anatomy – Felines and Canines
    SMALL ANIMALS ANATOMY – FELINES AND CANINES FELINE ANATOMY Cat is an interesting and unique subject in the animal kingdom. They have extreme strength and agility for their size, along with heightened senses and the ability to reason. Their eyes are complex organs with keen eyesight and a broad range of hearing. All felines (along with several other animals such as dogs and cows), have a physiological feature in their eyes not found in humans called the tapetum lucidum, a layer of tissue found behind the retina. The function of the tapetum lucidum is to aid in vision for animals that are active during low light and dark. It reflects light that enters the retina back into the eye. Because of this, cat eyesight suffers in lighted environments, but is superior at night and in low lit areas. All cats are carnivores and hunt their prey at night. The need for superior night vision is a survival mechanism developed in certain species, such as cats, to give them a distinct advantage over prey. Due to the intricate nature of a cat's body and physiological properties, a delicate balance must be upheld with care. Cats are extremely resilient, but when the immune system or inner organs are affected by infection or disease, the outcome is often bleak. The feline anatomy consists of many similarities to that of other species, namely the human body. A cat skeleton has a few more bones, but many of these are identical to those of the human skeleton. Uniquely, a cat's collar bone is unattached to the other bone structures, and its muscular structure is designed for agility, allowing it to leap, twist and fall with grace.

  • Understanding Fronts
    “Perhaps I'm way off base, but Understanding I'm inclined to believe that's starting at the wrong end; few Fronts journeys I know of begin at the destination…” by Richard G.Beauchamp ______________________________________ This article was published in the February 2008 issue of Dogs in Review. Just recently a friend of mine and I were sitting at ringside watching a breed we are both very interested in. After watching a bit I remarked (quietly, I though) that the dogs in the breed we were watching were certainly uniform - if not quality, certainly in their faults. There wasn't a dog in the ring that had a decent front - all poker straight, and this was a Sporting breed! The young lady sitting on my left leaned over and said, "I hope you don't mind me intruding but I've just started in this breed and I've heard other people make the same remark, about fronts that is, and I don't think I understand what they're talking about." I assured her I didn't mind at all and asked her just what it was that she wasn't clear on. ____________________________________ "Well," she went on, "I hear people say a dog is 'straight as a stick' in front and that seems to be a criticism. But other times Become an All-breed Judge: on the bookshelves of someone will say the dog has a beautiful straight front. a good many of today's novices.
