Specialising in Tellington TTouch®

TTouch can be used as a stand-alone therapy to help with a variety of physical problems, such as tension, stiffness, and anxiety, but it also seamlessly integrates into any positive reinforcement training plan.

Tellington TTouch is a gentle, respectful method of training the body, mind and spirit. It gives the dog choices and increases body language awareness between the guardian and the dog.

TTouch helps the dog become more aware of themselves, which is fundamental to their balance, how they interact with the world, and their feeling of comfort and security.  

Dogs develop greater body awareness and balance through TTouch bodywork and mindful ground exercises. Improved physical balance often leads to increased feelings of safety. When dogs feel safer, they are more self-confident in their environment. A confident dog exhibits better self-control, responding thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively to stimuli. This makes for a more cooperative, balanced dog who is in a thinking state and is able to learn.
