TTouch for Birds Workshop will provide a foundation in the basic TTouch, which can then be used on your own pets.

Synopsis:
The Tellington TTouch® Method of Training is a focused approach to animal care and behavior modification. TTouch also provides a foundation for a gentler, more enjoyable, stress-free relationship with your animal companion. This revolutionary and gentle method can be used as a stand-alone training tool or in support of other training methods; for wellness care and in support of veterinary care. The TTouch Method consists of circular TTouches, stroking and lifting TTouches, Body Wraps, Leading Exercises, and the Confidence Course.

How can TTouch® help your pet?

Behavioral Training
Because it actually teaches animals how to feel differently about themselves, it directly addresses many behavioral issues through boosting self-esteem and confidence. It also aids focus and clarity of direction, stress reduction, and respiration.

Wellness Sessions
TTouch promotes optimal performance and wellbeing by supporting your animal's health and veterinary care, and is an effective complement. It assists by boosting the immune system, facilitates circulation and respiration, and helps alleviate pain and discomfort. Aging animals can benefit with improved quality of life and TTouch assists with recovery from illness or surgery.
