Help Your Dog Thrive: 
Build Confidence, Reduce Anxiety & Learn How to Help Your Dog Feel Their Best.

Imagine a dog who thrives with confidence, feeling safe and secure in their own body. Approaches new experiences with curiosity, not fear, and communicates clearly, responding with ease.

This isn't a dream – it's the reality you can create for your dog with Tellington TTouch® techniques. For nearly 50 years, the Tellington TTouch Method has revolutionised our understanding of animals. It's a heart-centred, logical, and empathic approach that fosters deeper connections and empowers positive change in our canine companions.

Are you curious to know how Tellington TTouch can benefit your dog?

TTouch has been life-changing for me, my dogs, and those I have supported over the years. It all started nine years ago when my Bullmastiff, Keto, became reactive at four years old after my other Bullmastiff, Jinx crossed Rainbow Bridge. Keto became scared of everything, and it wasn't something that 'normal' positive reinforcement training could help with. By using Tellington TTouch techniques, I built a new level of trust with her, making her feel safe and building up her confidence, transforming her into the most incredible dog.

When Chloe, my rescue dog, joined my family, she was petrified of humans, and it was through TTouch that I built her trust in human contact. The connection and understanding we have with each other as a result is something extremely special, and I don't know of any other "training" technique that could have developed that deep bond between us. With TTouch the possibilities are endless.

  • Are you a dedicated dog owner seeking a deeper connection with your furry friend?  
  • Do you have a dog that can get over-excited or lack focus in new environments?  
  • Would you like to discover gentle, compassionate ways to support your nervous or anxious dog?  
  • Would you like to enhance your dog's level of trust in you?  
  • Do you have a sensitive dog that needs additional support and understanding?  
  • Are you looking for a peaceful and enriching way to interact with your dog that benefits both of you?

Collaborating for Canine Well-Being.

I'm excited to announce a collaboration with renowned Canine Behaviourist and Trainer Ruth Haynes. Through this partnership, I'm delighted to offer her clients an exclusive opportunity to experience my Introduction to Tellington TTouch Workshop.

TTouch is a versatile modality that can be utilised as a standalone therapy to promote relaxation and body awareness or seamlessly integrated into the positive reinforcement training plans that Ruth provides to enhance physical, mental and emotional well-being. By combining TTouch with positive reinforcement training, we can create a holistic approach to canine care. This exclusive collaboration provides Ruth's clients with a privileged opportunity to explore the transformative power of TTouch.

Supporting Dogs One TTouch at a Time.
The Introduction to Tellington TTouch Workshop covers:

  • The respectful philosophy of Tellington TTouch. 
  • Boost your dog's confidence and reduce anxiety.  
  • How to use TTouch to improve your dog's physical and emotional well-being.   
  • Using TTouch to address specific health and behavioural problems.   
  • Magnify the trust and communication with your dog.
  • Using TTouch Wraps to improve confidence, balance and body awareness.
The Introduction to TTouch Workshop isn't just about physical exercises. It's about understanding the profound connection between your dog's body and their mind. You'll learn to:

  • Read your dog's subtle body language cues: Discover how physical tension and discomfort can manifest as behavioural issues, and learn to address them before they escalate.
  • Communicate more effectively: Develop a deeper understanding of your dog's needs and preferences, fostering a truly reciprocal relationship based on mutual respect and trust.
  • Support emotional well-being: Whether your dog struggles with generalised anxiety, over-excitement, or age-related challenges, this course provides tools and techniques to address the root cause and improve their overall quality of life.
  • Deepen your learning through play! In our TTouch Playground, you'll have the opportunity to practice your new skills and build your dog's body awareness in a fun and interactive way. These non-habitual experiences will enhance their coordination and confidence and create a positive association with learning.

Some student wins from previous TTouch Courses

  • My dog banged his leg jumping into the car, causing him to limp. I did a few circular TTouches over the following days and the limping stopped. When he has done this in the past it has taken much longer for him to recover without the TTouches.
  • We experienced some hesitation from our dog when we were putting his harness on. We followed what Katharine said about giving him time to sniff his harness, and slowing things down. Now we don't rush he's much happier to have his harness put on.
  • Being more mindful about how I approach my dog has made my dog more confident about being touched.


  • My dog came home from doggy day care and appeared hypersensitive to noises, barking at the slightest thing which she normally doesn't do. I did some TTouch with her, which calmed her down and she was relaxed enough to be able to settle and go to sleep.
