TTouch for Dogs and their Owners
Full-day program; Weekly Series

Learn the basics of TTouch and how it helps modify inappropriate behavior patterns and enhances wellness at this hands-on workshop program.

Practice the basics of the circular TTouch, TTouch body wraps, and the Confidence Course. By using combinations of specific circular touches, lifts, and non-habitual movements and exercises, TTouch builds confidence, relieves tension and increases body awareness, alleviates fears (such as fear of thunderstorms, loud noises, vet or groomer visits, or unfamiliar people/animals/surroundings.) TTouch further helps in cases such as: excessive barking/chewing/biting; leash pulling and jumping up; extreme fear and shyness; excitability and nervousness; separation anxiety; and even carsickness. It can helps boost the body's immune system, speeds healing, reduce shock, and much more.

You will learn how the TTouch Confidence Course increases your dog's experience in learning new ways of coping with uneasy, even frightening, situations. TTouch is a wonderful complement to all training methods and can help your dog to be more willing to cooperate and to more easily learn. Even the most difficult problems are often eliminated, so you and your pet can enjoy a happier, healthier, and well-balanced life.

If your dog is able to attend group classes, we welcome and encourage them to attend with you. Please bring a well-fitting flat collar, harness (if available), leash, and ace bandage to the class.

Pre-registration is required for owners and dogs.
This class is recommended for pet owners, trainers, and animal care professionals.
