The Tellington TTouch Method™

"The Touch That Teaches"

The Tellington TTouch Method is a gentle approach to animal training, wellness, and enhancement of the human-animal bond. It was developed by internationally-known trainer, author, and teacher Linda Tellington-Jones.

TTouch is based on thoughtful analysis of and deep respect for the animal. It is a compassionate method that promotes improved behavior and well-being. All techniques in TTouch work to reduce the animal’s stress and build his confidence (two problems which go hand-in-hand and are often the cause of behavioral problems.)

The foundation of the Tellington TTouch Method is a specialized form of light touch known as TTouch®. This touch generates a state of relaxation and increased body awareness in both animals and people. When combined with movement analysis, special exercises known as "groundwork," and body awareness techniques such as "wraps," TTouch improves the animal’s focus and attention, and helps the animal experience a sense of confidence in frightening or challenging situations.

The Tellington TTouch Method also deepens the bond between the owner and the animal, thus enhancing the owner’s respect and understanding of the animal’s issues or problems.
