Tellington TTouch is a gentle, hands-on method that improves health, training, behavior and the relationship people have with animals.

​
The TTouch Method also includes a philosophy of working with animals and people as individuals, with compassion and understanding. Those who try TTouch quickly understand why so many people all over the world, including trainers, veterinarians and people who love their animals,make these techniques a part of their life for themselves and their animals.
Why TTouch?
  • Problem Solving – Many behavioral problems are caused by tension patterns in your animal’s body. Tension or pain in the body can increase undesirable behavior, including reactivity. TTouch techniques address the cause of problems rather than just “band aid” the symptoms. TTouch movement exercises, sometimes referred to as ground work, involves leading or walking in various ways that increase focus and self-control in dogs and horses. These exercises are an important part of solving problems. TTouch frequently results in permanent changes while building trust and a positive relationship.
  • Increased Results from Training – TTouch helps dogs and horses “learn how to learn”. TTouch bodywork, equipment and movement exercises reduce stress, increase confidence, improve performance and give you more value for your training time and money. TTouch makes training more fun.
  • Health Support – TTouch offers help for health-related issues. TTouch reduces pain, accelerates recovery and provides comfort, knowing you have something safe and effective you can do instead of feeling helpless in these situations.
  • Because You Care – You don’t need a problem in order to share TTouch. This is something you can use with your animals or with people any time. It provides a wonderful way to connect on a deeper level and enjoy the mutual benefits of TTouch. You might find you both feel calmer and more comfortable. TTouch can be a great stress reducer!

Can TTouch be used with any animal?  
Yes!  TTouch is easy to use with any species of animal.  TTouch is most commonly used with dogs, cats, horses or rabbits, but it can also be valuable for birds, reptiles and any other type of animal.  We even work with fish by doing TTouch on the aquarium glass!  

How can TTouch help my animal?
TTouch is valuable for any stage of an animal’s life.  From newborn through adolescence and into an animal’s senior years, TTouch enhances quality of life, reduces stress and helps your animal enjoy a happy and healthy life.  
We individualize our approach for each animal and person to help them achieve their goals in a positive and supportive way.  We want to help the animal to be comfortable in their body, to improve physical, mental and emotional balance and improve communication between people and animals while building a trusting relationship. 
Shy, nervous or fearful animals can experience dramatic improvement with TTouch. They gain confidence and self-control and are better able to adapt to new situations.  Examples of lack of confidence might include dogs with a fear of loud noises, spooky horses, or cats who are afraid of strangers. TTouch can also help with dogs who are barking or pulling on the leash, horses that seem stubborn or resistant or cats not using the litter box.  Our careful observation and experience has lead us to conclude that addressing the cause of the problem, rather than just managing the symptoms, results in greater long-term success.  

TTouch is also beneficial for the person who is doing it.  This makes TTouch a wonderful opportunity for both human and animal to feel better, and enjoy the time they spend together.
