What is The Tellington TTouch?
The Tellington TTouch is a teaching method for
dogs and other animals that incorporates body work, and ground exercises where appropriate
to improve co-ordination, balance, and athletic ability whilst deepening further
communication and understanding between the animal and its owner/carer
TTouch helps increase levels of self
confidence and self-control.
TTouch is widely used around the world by
animal lovers and people who work with animals. It is not necessary to learn the whole
TTouch approach to help the animals in your care. Learning just a few of the body TTouches
by working with a trained Practitioner or attending a workshop can make a difference to an
animal's life.
Observations and Assessments
Visual observations and flat hand explorations
finds areas in the animal's body that indicate tension, fear of contact, memory of pain or
discomfort.
Body Work
Specific movements and TTouches are used to
improve circulation, release tension and promote a greater sense of well being.
Ground Exercises for Dogs
Leading exercises enable the dog to override
old patterns of movement and behaviour without the use of fear or force. The ground work
improves co-ordination, confidence, focus, self control, balance and co-operation.
TTouch in Rescue and Rehabilitation
Many of our Practitioners work closely with
local animal shelters. Staff workshops are taught in several national re-homing shelters.
If you would like to arrange for a Tellington TTouch talk/workshop at your animal home
