Dog Behavior Consultations

As a professional dog walker for the past 5 years, I know how important it is for the dog owner to be able to walk their dog in confidence and for the dog to understand what they are being asked to do. When I have assisted with typical dog training classes, I see a lot of confused faces, both the canines and the human handler. Most leave very frustrated. Combining the effects of positive dog training with ttouch takes the confusion and stress out of your dog training class. I offer one on one classes as well as educational seminars. If you are wondering if I can help you with your dog, I would love to answer your questions. I have experience working with the following issues:

    •Barking
    •Leash Pulling & Dog Reactivity
    •Extreme Fear or Shyness
    •Excitability
    •Issues with Aging & Mobility
    •Adjusting to New Environments
    •Seperation Anxiety
    •Resistance to Dog Grooming or Handling

Combining Positive Dog Training with TTouch For All Dogs of All Sizes!

TTouch is a gentle, positive teaching method that combines bodywork and ground exercises to improve co-ordination and balance. Good physical balance positively influences emotional and mental states, helping animals to be calmer, and improving their ability to focus. They become better able to develop self-control and self-confidence - the lack of which underlies most undesirable behaviours and interferes with the ability to learn.

 

TTouch is used around the world by shelter assistants, dog trainers, zookeepers, veterinarians, wildlife rehabilitators, and therapists of many different modalities. It lends itself to many training and therapeutic modalities, and often learning and using just a few of the simple body TTouches and rebalancing exercises can make a huge difference to an animal's life.

A word from Linda Tellington-Jones who created TTouch

"Dogs enrich their owner's lives in so many ways with their gifts of unconditional love, friendship, and loyalty. We can all reciprocate by being mindful of the Canine Golden Rule: Treat your dog as you would like to be treated, and use the Ttouch method to reshape your dog's behavior with kindness and understanding. you will find it carries over in your attitude toward your family and even yourself. It encourages you to open your heart to embrace a happy, healthy relationship with your dog, as well as members of your own species."
