Balancing the body, mind and spirit.

Tellington TTouch is a specialized, gentle and positive approach to train companion animals based on cooperation and mutual respect. It helps your pet overcome its issues by building trust and confidence, and “reshaping” its behavior with kindness and understanding. TTouch is about giving your animal choices and restoring balance.

TTouch can help with issues such as leash pulling, jumping, hyperactivity and fear of storms or going to the vet. TTouch also benefits the “perfect pet” as it makes the mind/body connection and influences health and performance. It can support animals during recovery from injury, illness or surgery, promote the healing process, and strengthen them in their senior years.

The Tellington Touch Method uses bodywork (TTouches) for cats, dogs and other animals, as well as groundwork exercises (the Confidence Course) for dogs.

TTouch bodywork utilizes a combination of circles, slides and lifts that increase awareness and sensation, reduce stress and relax tension held in the body. The intent of the TTouch is to activate the function of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence—a little like "turning on the electric lights of the body." This allows the body to function to its full potential in the healing process. As the body comes into balance, the mind and emotions follow.

 TTouch groundwork for dogs called the Confidence Course — working in labyrinths, across poles and different surfaces, leading exercises — is a method of getting the brain engaged to change habitual behavior and teaching our animals how to think and act and make a choice, rather than react.
