The Basics of TTouch Bodywork
Paw-zn-Around, 8 New County Road (route 5), Saco.
“A Gentle Approach to Influence Behavior, Health, & Performance." The Tellington Touch method is a great compliment to training. Anyone can learn to do the TTouches and your dog will love you for it. The goal of the TTouch bodywork is to stimulate the function and vitality of the cells and to activate unused neural pathways to the brain. Stress-reducing hormones are released, and your dog learns to gain trust in you as well as awareness and confidence in himself. TTouch has been successfully used to solve typical behavior problems such as excessive barking, anxiety, carsickness,shyness, aggressiveness, grooming issues, as well as aiding in the healing of injuries and disease. Learning the TTouch method is sure to improve your relationship with your pet as well as enhance your dog’s willingness and ability to learn. FMI: Carolyn 929-4482 or www.dogsenseme.com.
