Follow these 4 simple steps:
1. Curve your fingers
2. Rest your hand gently on the animal's body
3. Use your fingers to lightly push the skin in one and a quarter circles, leading with the middle finger.
4. Slide hand to a new spot, repeat.
Tips:
Keep your wrist soft and your breath steady.
Make sure you are moving the skin, not just rubbing over hair.
If your dog seems uncomfortable, just lighten the pressure.
