Canine Wellness Trainer
Hi, I'm Katharine of Canine Support, based in Somerset, UK. With a deep love for animals, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective support to dogs and their guardians.
I am a Canine Wellness Trainer formed from a unique blend of both Tellington TTouch and Trauma Informed Dog Practitioner qualifications.
As a Trauma-Informed Dog Practitioner, I focus on the dog as a whole, considering their physical, mental, and emotional well-being rather than solely focusing on their behaviour. This holistic approach aligns perfectly with the Tellington TTouch philosophy, which also emphasises the mind-body connection in dogs.
I have years of experience working with dogs and am passionate about helping owners build strong, fulfilling relationships with their canine companions.
Canine Support can help if:
- Your dog lacks confidence, gets anxious and nervous in new situations and environments.
- Your dog is easily distracted and focuses on everything except you and pulls on the lead.
- You would like to improve your dogs' overall happiness and well-being.
- If you would like to build trust with your dog for husbandry activities, vet visits and grooming.
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.
