What is Tellington TTouch Training ®
 
Devised over fifty years ago by Linda Tellington Jones, and developed in conjunction with her sister Robyn Hood, Tellington TTouch is often confused with massage. It is actually very different, and as well as the special ‘TTouches’ (body work) employs a varied system of exercises which include groundwork, equipment and body wraps.
 
The Tellington TTouch Method - or TTouch® (pronounced Tee Touch) for short – has a proven track record for helping animals with a wide range of issues. It is a kind, non-invasive, generally well accepted and empathic way of working with animals which is easy to learn, simple and safe to apply, and can have profound effects on the lives of animals and on the people who care for them.
 
The Tellington TTouch Method is based on the principle that posture and behaviour are inextricably linked, with posture affecting behaviour and vice versa. By improving posture, balance and movement, beneficial physical, psychological, and emotional changes are produced, with self-confidence and self-control increasing. Mind and body begin to work together in harmony, and unwanted behaviours diminish or disappear entirely. This is not some far-fetched or whimsical theory, but one which has been successfully demonstrated time and time again, both with Tellington TTouch and in other modalities which focus on posture, such as Alexander Technique.
 
TTouch provides you with the tools to make changes for the better to your dog’s posture – change the posture and you change the behaviour.
