DOG ASSESSMENT CHART

By being aware of how your dog responds to contact on every part of his body you can take the necessary steps to help improve his health, behaviour and well being. To aid in this please use the DOG ASSESSMENT CHART which is available to download as a *pdf file here or a zip file here.

Use the diagrams to mark areas of tension, 'ticklish' places, no-go areas, and places that are over or under developed. Mark patches that are cold or hot or areas where the coat is worn, raised, coarse or scurfy. Note which is the higher ear, shoulder, hip, and so on.

Watch your dogs reactions at all times and only carry out the flat hand assessment if it is safe to do so.

Date the chart and repeat the assessment every few weeks to follow your dog's progress. You may be amazed at how the simple TTOUCH body work exercises can change your dog.

How You Can Help Your Animal

TTEAM and TTouch offer real value for money. You can learn how you can help your animal by attending a workshop or by working with a local Practitioner on a one to one basis.

One to One Sessions

You can call your local Practitioner and ask them to visit your home or take your animal to the Practitioner. All qualified Practitioners work on a one to one basis. Costs vary depending on area and skill level and there may be some travel costs as well. Most Practitioners only charge between £25.00 - £35.00 per session. You will be shown TTouches and leading exercises if appropriate that you can do to help your companion animal overcome a variety of problems. Many clients see a change in their pet within the first session although this obviously depends on the longevity of the problem and possible contributory factors.

Costs for a one to one session at Tilley Farm and in the Bath/Bristol area, for companion animals and horses, by arrangement. Travelling costs may be added if the animal is unable to come to Tilley Farm and lives outside a 10 mile radius from the farm.

Workshops

You could also attend a workshop. Practitioners qualified to Level 1 and above teach one day workshops and those qualified to Practitioner Level 2 teach two day workshops. Costs vary depending on the skill level of the Practitioner and the area. Many people who attend our workshops go on to train as Practitioners.
