Tellington TTouch
We are excited to announce Tellington TTouch (TTouch®) Workshops!
Catherine Stewart is a certified Tellington Touch (TTouch) practitioner and she is instructing these one-day, hands-on workshops with your dogs designed to give you the basics of TTouch and how to use this valuable tool with your dog. To have a really profound impact, the TTouch work needs to be done on a regular basis. Small changes start to occur and then those can develop into significant changes over time. These workshops can give you a taste and a feel for what can be possible for you and your dog!
“I especially liked the TTouch demonstrations that were done on the humans. I will continue to do the ear slides with Paprika and use the Thundershirt. The leash trick, looped around the chest (balance leash) will help on our walks. The day was well worth the time and money.” (Shelagh and Paprika - workshop participants)

We have seen TTouch in use, and we are excited about the possibilities it offers. It has particular rehabilitative value for dogs suffering from various fears or shyness, lacking in confidence, sound sensitivity, over-reactivity, lacking in focus or lacking in impulse control.
Another aspect of TTouch is the therapeutic side. TTouch Bodywork and other special tools can be used to help our dogs before and after surgery, while recovering from an accident or while dealing with age related issues such as arthritis.
TTouch complements our training style and philosophy beautifully as the intention of both is to enhance our relationship with our dogs and to help them develop awareness and the ability to think and respond with good choices vs. simply reacting. TTouch promotes a philosophy of cooperation and respect in all of our interactions with animals.

Tellington TTouch is a unique approach to animal training and care developed by internationally known trainer, teacher and author, Linda Tellington-Jones. TTouch was developed nearly 40 years ago and is based on the understand and respect for our animal friends.
The foundation of the Tellington Method is a specific form of light touch known as TTouch®, which induces a state of relaxation and increases body awareness in animals. The combination of the TTouch body work with unique movement exercises improves focus and attention, allowing optimal learning to take place. TTouch uses a variety of other tools that also assist the animal to experience a sense of confidence in previously frightening or challenging situations. Even the most difficult problems are often eliminated with just a few sessions. There are currently certified TTouch practitioners in more than 25 countries.
"Everything was well presented and easy to understand. The zig-zag touch had an amazing affect on Dash as well as the Thundershirt!
I am open to any additional courses which will improve his reactions and in turn change our reactions. Dash truly is less reactive. A day well spent! Thank you. "
(Heather and Dash)
