About the Course

That subtle bump beneath the coat. The firm area you notice in the tissue. The swollen lymph node. Your hands often detect changes before anyone else—and that's both a gift and a responsibility. But here's the truth: most bodyworkers, groomers, and wellness professionals aren't trained to recognize what they're feeling or what to do about it. That uncertainty can lead to missed opportunities to help your clients, or worse, awkward moments when you're not sure how to respond. Canine Lumps & Bumps changes that. Created by Lara Cavanaugh, LMT and the Animal Lymphatics Institute, this course gives you the knowledge and confidence you need. Through six comprehensive written lessons and realistic case studies, you'll learn to recognize common canine masses and tissue changes, understand what different conditions feel and look like, and know exactly when veterinary evaluation is needed. You'll master the practical skills that matter: documenting findings clearly, communicating concerns professionally, and making informed decisions about modifying or postponing sessions. This isn't about diagnosing—it's about being the observant, knowledgeable professional your clients deserve. Ready to transform uncertainty into expertise? Enroll today and start building the confidence that comes from truly understanding what your hands are telling you.
