What is the Tellington TTouch and How Can It Help Me? The Tellington TTouch is a specialized tactile approach to the care and training of our animal companions. Developed by internationally recognized animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones, this method, which is based on cooperation and respect, offers a positive approach to training that can improve performance and health as well as help you find solutions to common behavioral and physical problems. It also helps establish a deeper rapport between you and your dog.
TTouch® - the Tellington TTouch - is a method of circular movements of your fingers and hands all over the body of an animal. The intent of the TTouch is to awaken cellular intelligence - a little like "turning on the electric lights of the body." And the effect of the touch has been confirmed in laboratory tests. The TTouch is done over 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.
Using a combination of specific touches, lifts, and movement exercises, TTouch helps 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, you can assist the animal in experiencing self-confidence in previously frightening or uncomfortable 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.
