People and dogs get along so well
because dogs like to be touched and
humans find solace in touching another
being. Touching a dog reduces tension
and awakens joy and caring in people
who are immersed in grief or depression,
debilitated by age or disease, or
handicapped by physical or emotional
limitations. Touching a dog helps
us think, put things in perspective,
and wile away a bit of free time here
and there.
The
Tellington-Touch - is a method based
on circular movements of the fingers
and hands all over the body. The intent
is to activate the function of the
cells and the nervous system.
TTouches help to release tension and
increase the dogs own body awareness.
This allows the animal to be handled
without provoking typical fear responses.
By using the TTouches you can assist
the dog in experiencing self-confidence
in previously frightening situations. Even the most difficult behavior problems are
often eliminated.
The TTouches give the dog a new body
experience, releasing old pains and
unproductive behavior patterns. Health
problems are addressed by stimulating
the immune system. The TTouch often
works within a short period of time.
TTouch creates a relationship with
your dog based on trust and cooperation,
instead of dominance. This new relationship,
leads to more effective learning,
higher self-esteem, comfort and happiness
with your dog.
It also helps establish a deeper rapport
between humans and dogs through
increased understanding and more effective
communication.
This gentle method
is currently being used by dog trainers, dog
breeders, veterinarians, zoo personnel,
and shelter workers worldwide. TTouch™
is proving valuable as a tool in the
resolution of behavioral issues including
dog aggression, separation anxiety, fears,
and phobias, relief of stress, and
improved performance in conformation,
dog obedience, agility and other dog sports.
Does your
dog pulling the leash, chewing furniture,
bark excessively, or act aggressively toward other dogs or people? Does
your dog have health problems such
as arthritis, car sickness, lameness,
dysplasia or stress from surgery or
aging? Is dogs nail clipping a nightmare
or is your dog afraid of loud noises,
strange people, or places, or vets?
All of these issues can be helped
through the TTOUCH.
