Tellington TTouch training method
Tellington TTouch® is a unique approach to training and healthcare developed by internationally known animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones. Based on compassion and respect for our animal friends, these techniques promote optimal health and behaviour by building confidence and eliminating fearful or inappropriate responses.
This gentle method is easy to learn and often produces significant changes, even with the most difficult behaviour problems. A combination of touches, lifts, and strokes are used to induce a state of relaxation and increased body awareness, while ground exercises assist the animal to be more focused and build confidence. TTouch is currently being used by animal owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, and shelter workers in over 30 countries worldwide.
The slow considered movements in the ground work exercises calm and relax the dog.
The combination of TTouch and ground work exercises combine to encourage better brain/body function that enables the dog to have more options physically, mentally and emotionally.
Self carriage and self confidence are linked. By releasing tension and improving balance, self confidence levels increase.
TTouch Offers Choices - Choices offer hope.
TTouch has saved the lives of many, many animals. It offers a solution to problems that all too often result in euthanasia - without relying on the use of dominance, suppression, fear or force.
It is particularly appropriate for reducing unwanted reactive behaviours such as aggression.
