The course begins on Wednesday the 6th of May 2026, with live Zoom sessions taking place on Wednesdays at 7pm (UK time) for 8 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 Tellington TTouch Leading Techniques. 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.

Yes. Walking in Balance is particularly helpful for dogs who become reactive, overwhelmed or hyper-alert on walks. Rather than focusing purely on stopping the reaction, we work on supporting balance, posture and nervous system regulation first. When a dog feels steadier in their body, their responses on walks often begin to soften. If your dog has severe behavioural concerns, this course can still complement individual behaviour support.

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.

Freezing is often a sign of overwhelm, not stubbornness. Inside Walking in Balance, you’ll learn how to recognise early signs of tension and how to gently support your dog through those moments using TTouch leading techniques and bodywork. We focus on building confidence and balance — not forcing movement.

In Tellington TTouch®, we recommend using a well-fitted harness with attachment points at both the chest and the back. This allows us to use either a double-ended lead or a TTouch connector, giving two points of contact for clearer communication and improved balance.

This isn’t about control — it’s about helping your dog feel more supported and physically organised while walking.  We may also introduce TTouch body wraps to enhance body awareness and confidence. I’ll guide you on how and where to purchase these if you choose to use them.  

All groundwork exercises use simple items you likely already have at home or can find while out on a walk — there’s no need for specialist equipment. The focus is always on comfort and support — improving balance, focus, connection and communication so walking together feels easier.

Absolutely. All Zoom sessions are recorded and you’ll have lifetime access to the replays. You can watch in your own time and submit questions in advance if you can’t attend live.

In TTouch we say “moments rather than minutes.” Many of the techniques can be woven naturally into your existing walks. You won’t need hours of extra training — small, consistent shifts create meaningful change over time.

No experience is needed.

Everything is taught step by step, with demonstrations and clear explanations, so you can begin confidently — even if this is your first introduction to Tellington TTouch®. Plus, you’ll have access to the client-only Facebook group for ongoing encouragement.

That’s completely okay. While this course includes TTouch elements, we also work with leading techniques and groundwork. Everything is done at your dog’s pace, with choice and consent at the centre.

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.
