TTouch is a unique approach to
the care and training of our companion animals developed by
internationally recognized animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones.
|
|
Using a combination
of specific touches, lifts, body movements and the confidence course.
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.
Linda suspects that TTouch gets the cells "talking" to each other and
turns on the "electrical lights" in the body so that the dog can over
come it's instinctive fight, flight or freeze response and begin to
think. The training method reflects the belief that successful training
can be achieved without the use of threats, fear or punishment. It
allows your dog to attain emotional, mental and physical balance that
contributes to a happy companion. This work is not intended to replace
veterinarian care for your dog.

TTouch differs
from many other methods in that it honors and respects the animal and
focuses on cooperation rather than domination. It offers a positive
approach to training, can improve performance and health and presents
solutions to common behavioral problem. |
