Duration:
*This course has been approved for 22.5 hours of continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval.
This onsite, 3-day course teaches students the muscular anatomy of the dog through clay modeling with the CANIKEN® models as well as the palpation of live dogs. Students will build awareness of the interrelationships of structure and function by strengthening their knowledge of anatomy through kinesthetic learning and facilitated discussions.
Students will learn to identify muscle attachments, actions, and, when relevant, innervation. They will learn to consider the interconnections of muscles involved in movement, both healthful and maladaptive. Palpation of live dogs will help students identify underlying structures as well as areas of tension and discomfort.

Day 1
- Axial anatomy (head, spine, pelvis)
- Structure-function relationships, local and regional interactions between muscles and fascia, agonist / antagonist balance
- Includes discussion about pain, posture, and problems affecting each area and palpation / observation of live dogs to connect the look and feel of clay-based structures to living anatomy
Day 2
- Thoracic limb
- Structure-function relationships, local and regional interactions between muscles and fascia, agonist / antagonist balance
- Includes discussion about afflictions affecting the shoulder and elbow and palpation of live dogs
Day 3
- Pelvic limb and tail
- Structure-function relationships, local and regional interactions between muscles and fascia, agonist / antagonist balance
- Includes discussion about afflictions affecting the hip and stifle and palpation of live dogs
Students must review the veterinary vocabulary and terms, skeletal anatomy and bony landmarks in the CN3005: Canine Anatomy and Behavior Distance Study course prior to attending the CN200. (This is the precourse used for the Caninology® Canine Body Worker Certification Courses so it is not necessary to redo for those having participated in the CCBW course.)
If you feel you are already well versed in vocabulary and the musculoskeletal system (ie, a veterinarian), please contact the office to waive this prerequisite.
All materials are included in the tuition cost.
