is TTouch?
by
Sally Sizer TTouch-
the Tellington-Touch - is a method based on circular movements of the fingers
and hands all over the body. The intent of the TTouch is to activate the
function of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence - a little like
"turning on the electric lights of the body." The TTouch is done on
the entire body, and each circular TTouch is complete within itself. Therefore
it is not necessary to understand anatomy to be successful in speeding up the
healing of injuries or ailments, or changing undesirable habits or behavior. What
is the Tellington TTouch for Dogs, Cats and Other Animals? The
Tellington TTouch is a specialized approach to the care and training of our
animal companions. Developed by internationally recognized animal expert, Linda
Tellington-Jones, this method is based on cooperation and respect offers a
positive approach to training, can improve performance and health and presents
solutions to common behavioral and physical problems. It also helps establish a
deeper rapport between humans and animals through increased understanding and
more effective communication. Using
a combination of specific touches, lifts, and movement exercises, TTouch helps
to release tension and increase body awareness. This allows the animal to be
handled without provoking typical fear responses. The animal can then more
easily learn new and more appropriate behaviors. By using the TTouch and a
variety of other tools, like the Confidence Course, you can assist the animal in
experiencing self-confidence in previously frightening situations. Even the most
difficult problems are often eliminated. You can also learn how to apply the
Tellington TTouch to assist with recovery from illness or injury, or just
enhance the quality of your animal's life. Animal
owners, trainers, breeders, veterinarians, zoo personnel and shelter workers in
several countries are currently using this gentle method. There are many
certified practitioners teaching TTouch around the world who can show you how to
help you with your dog, cat or other pets. The
Tellington TTouch can help in cases of: Excessive barking & chewing, leash
pulling, jumping up, aggressive behavior, extreme fear and shyness, resistance
to grooming (clipping nails) excitability and nervousness, car sickness,
reproduction, problems associated with aging, and problems with aggression
issues towards both dogs and humans.
