Learn how to help your Sensitive Dog feel Safer, Calmer, and more Confident
Living with a sensitive dog can be overwhelming, especially when nothing you try seems to make a lasting difference. Do you recognise your own dog here:
The Anxious or Reactive Dog
Barking, lunging, overreacting to the smallest things. Walks feel stressful, visitors are a nightmare, and your dog never seems to settle.
The Sensitive Rescue Dog
Flinching at touch, shrinking from sudden movement, fearful in new situations. You want to help, but pushing too hard only seems to make things worse.
The "Nothing Works" Dog
You’ve tried positive reinforcement training, desensitisation, enrichment, even calming aids… yet your dog is still tense, still anxious, still not quite themselves.
You are not alone… and your dog is not “just being difficult”
Maybe friends, family or even trainers say “just more socialisation” or “just more training.” But you know your dog is different — sensitive, intuitive, maybe reactive. And that uniqueness isn’t a problem; it’s a strength waiting to be understood.
You are doing everything you can; you care deeply. It’s not your fault, and this doesn’t mean there isn’t hope.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone — and TTouch may be the missing piece of the puzzle. 🧩
Why Tellington TTouch is different
Tellington TTouch isn’t about forcing behaviour, practising cues, or masking problems. It’s about listening. Observing. Connecting.
Through gentle bodywork and mindful movement, TTouch helps dogs release tension, regulate emotions, and build confidence.
It’s a holistic approach that:
- Calms the nervous system.
- Fosters trust and connection.
- Improves posture and comfort.
- Reduces reactivity and anxiety.
- Complements all positive training methods.
Lights, camera, relaxation! 🎬✨🐶 Remi helping with the TTouch videos; it's not just effective, it's so calming it can put even the most dedicated "actors" into a deep, peaceful slumber.
More than a method, it’s a mindset.
Tellington TTouch teaches you to see, feel, and respond to your dog in new ways — bringing harmony to their body, balance to their mind, and confidence to their behaviour.

The Introduction to TTouch Course is taught from a trauma-informed perspective to help both you and your dog feel calmer, safer, and more confident.
As a trauma-informed dog practitioner, I teach this course from a trauma-informed perspective - looking at your dog as a whole: body, mind, and emotions, rather than focusing only on behaviour. Many sensitive or reactive dogs carry layers of past experiences, and TTouch offers gentle ways to release tension, rebuild trust, and create safety without overwhelm.
We also recognise that it’s not just about the dog: guardians need support too. That’s why we guide you at both ends of the lead, helping you feel more confident, calm, and connected as you support your dog’s journey.
Introduction to TTouch starts - Tues 17th Feb 2026.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Wondering if this course is right for you and your dog? Here are the answers to the questions I get asked most often.
(And if your question’s not here, just drop me an email at info@caninesupport.co.uk - I’ll be happy to help.)
When does the course start and how does it run?
The course begins on Tuesday the 17th of February 2026, with live Zoom sessions taking place on Tuesdays at 7pm (UK time) for 6 weeks. Each group Zoom session is focused on teaching, so we can cover the key content thoroughly and make sure you understand each element of the TTouches. There will be time for Q&A, and if you can’t attend live, you’re welcome to send your questions throughout the course. The live sessions make up half of the course. The other half is your online course, which includes step-by-step demonstrations, instructional videos, and resources, which you have permanent access to. You can work through the online course at your own pace.
I don’t have time to use TTouch with my dog.
In TTouch we say “moments rather than minutes.” If you have time to stroke or touch your dog, you have time for TTouch. Even a single TTouch a day can support their nervous system, release tension, and help them feel calmer, safer, and more confident.
I’m not sure it will work for my dog.
Every dog is unique – but TTouch is adaptable for all dogs, from lively puppies to senior companions, nervous rescues to strong-willed adolescents. Because it works with the nervous system, rather than focusing only on behaviour, it often succeeds where other methods feel incomplete. Many guardians say it was the missing piece that finally helped their dog relax and thrive.
I can’t make every live session.
No problem. All Zoom sessions are recorded, and you’ll have permanent access to the replays. You can watch them back at a time that suits you and revisit them whenever you need a refresher.
I’m worried I won’t get enough personal support.
This course is deliberately kept small so everyone gets the attention they need. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions during the live Zooms, receive personalised feedback, and be supported throughout the 6 weeks. Plus, you’ll have access to the client-only Facebook group for ongoing encouragement.
Isn’t this just massage?
Not at all. While massage works mainly on muscles, TTouch focuses on the nervous system. These gentle, mindful touches create deep shifts in body awareness, which in turn influence emotional balance and behaviour. It’s about connection, communication, and calm — not manipulation.
Do I need any prior experience to join?
Not at all. This course is designed for complete beginners as well as those who may have tried a little TTouch before. Everything is explained step by step, with demonstrations, so you’ll feel confident using the techniques from the very start.
What if my dog doesn’t like being touched?
That’s absolutely fine — and actually very common with sensitive or anxious dogs. TTouch is about working at your dog’s pace, building trust gradually, and respecting their comfort levels. There are techniques you can use without direct touch to start with, helping your dog feel safer until they’re ready for more.
Can I use TTouch alongside other training methods?
Yes, definitely. TTouch perfectly complements positive, reward-based training. It helps your dog feel calmer, more balanced, and ready to learn, which makes other training approaches even more effective.
What is the course fee in my local currency?
All payments are taken in British Pounds (GBP). If you’re outside the UK, your bank will automatically convert the amount into your local currency at the current exchange rate. This is usually a straightforward process, and you can get an estimate of the cost in your currency with a quick online search.
A personal note from me.
TTouch has been life-changing for me, my dogs, and those I’ve supported over the years. Ten years ago, my Bullmastiff, Keto, became reactive after losing her big sister Jinx. She was suddenly terrified of everything. Normal reward-based training couldn’t reach her. But through TTouch, I rebuilt her trust, helped her feel safe, and watched her transform into the most confident, incredible dog.
When Chloe, my rescue, joined the family, she was petrified of humans. Again, it was TTouch that built her trust, creating a connection I know no other “training method” could.
Remi has been the dog like no other, and it has taken time for us to understand each other. I'm so glad I have my TTouch knowledge so that I can adapt things to work for her.
I’ve lived this journey myself — and now I’m here to guide you through it too.
