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 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.
This gentle method is currently being used by animal owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, zoo personnel and shelter workers in several countries. There are many certified practitioners teaching TTouch around the world who can show you how to help you with your dog, cat or other pet. Please check the 'Directory of Practitioners' to find your nearest TTouch Practitioner.
