Has Your Companion Animal Been TTouched™Today?

I am eager to utilize these [Kindness Canine Workshop] ideas with the shelter dogs that I walk and work with. I was extremely impressed with the thoughtfulness expressed to both the people and the dogs throughout the workshop. Gracefully presented. -- Mary R, Milwaukee

The “T” stands for “Tellington:” Tellington TTouch, a method created by Linda Tellington-Jones initially to help resolve behavioral and performance issues in horses, and since adapted for use with companion animals. (More about TTouch™ here.)

• Uses non-habitual, gentle, non-threatening movements and manipulations to awaken and activate unused brain cells and neural pathways.
  
• Helps change ineffective communication and behavior patterns.
  
• Causes no fear to the animal
• Improves learning ability

  Wonderful! Moved along well, but still gave us plenty of time for demos and return demos. Really felt Like I gained some very useful knowledge. TTouch is so much more humane than other methods of training. -- Clare C, Milwaukee

TTouch™ is proving increasingly valuable as a tool in the resolution of behavioral issues in companion animals, including:

• Aggression,
  
• Separation anxiety,
  
• Fears and phobias,
  
• Relief of stress, and improved performance in obedience, agility and other dog sports.

  Claudeen is an excellent teacher -- sensible, helpful, and open to anything. -- Ixonia WI

TTouch™ is performed by certified Practitioners who complete a rigorous 2-year training program during which they are mentored by an experienced, certified Practitioner. A keystone of the program is the completion of 15 case studies which describe in detail the protocols used by the Practitioner-in-Training, along with their rationale and results. Certified Practitioners hold membership in an international Guild, and must pursue continuing education to keep their skills and membership current.

Intuitively it feels right. The workshop helped me understand the potential of this valuable tool when I saw how the animals there reacted so positively to it. -- Ellen C, Waukesha
