TTouch- the Tellington-Touch
- is a method based on circular movements of the
fingers and hands all over the body. The intent
of the TTouch is to activate the function of the
cells and awaken cellular intelligence - a
little like "turning on the electric lights of
the body." The TTouch is done on the entire
body, and each circular TTouch is complete
within itself. Therefore it is not necessary to
understand anatomy to be successful in speeding
up the healing of injuries or ailments, or
changing undesirable habits or behavior.
What is the Tellington
TTouch for Dogs, Cats and Other Animals?
The Tellington TTouch is a
specialized approach to the care and training of
our animal companions. Developed by
internationally recognized animal expert, Linda
Tellington-Jones, this method is based on
cooperation and respect offers a positive
approach to training, can improve performance
and health and presents solutions to common
behavioral and physical problems. It also helps
establish a deeper rapport between humans and
animals through increased understanding and more
effective communication.
Using a combination of
specific touches, lifts, and movement exercises,
TTouch helps to release tension and increase
body awareness. This allows the animal to be
handled without provoking typical fear
responses. The animal can then more easily learn
new and more appropriate behaviors. By using the
TTouch and a variety of other tools, like the
Confidence Course, you can assist the animal in
experiencing self-confidence in previously
frightening situations. Even the most difficult
problems are often eliminated. You can also
learn how to apply the Tellington TTouch to
assist with recovery from illness or injury, or
just enhance the quality of your animal's life.
Animal owners, trainers,
breeders, veterinarians, zoo personnel and
shelter workers in several countries are
currently using this gentle method. There are
many certified practitioners teaching TTouch
around the world who can show you how to help
you with your dog, cat or other pets.
The Tellington TTouch can
help in cases of: Excessive barking & chewing,
leash pulling, jumping up, aggressive behavior,
extreme fear and shyness, resistance to grooming
(clipping nails) excitability and nervousness,
car sickness, reproduction, problems associated
with aging, and problems with aggression issues
towards both dogs and humans.
