| The Tellington TTouch (TTEAM) is a teaching method for dogs and other animals. TTEAM incorporates body work and ground exercises, as appropriate, to improve co-ordination and balance, whilst deepening communication, understanding and respect between animal and owner. TTEAM helps increase levels of self confidence and self control.
TTEAM is widely used around the world by animal lovers and people who work with animals. By learning just a few of the aspects of TTouch by working with a qualified Practitioner as a client, or attending a workshop, can make a difference to an animal's life.
OBSERVATIONS
Using visual and hands on observations the Practitioner can find areas of tension, variety in temperature and places where there is memory of pain or discomfort.
BODYWORK
A combination of TTouches, lifts and strokes are used to create a state of relaxation and increased body awareness. Some of the ttouches may look like a type of massage, but they not only relax muscles, they can also produce changes in behaviour.
GROUNDWORK
TTEAM leading exercises enable the dog to override old patterns of movement and behaviour without the use of fear or force. The groundwork improves co-ordination, confidence, focus, self control, balance and co-operation.
 
It teaches patience and co-ordination by setting the animal up for success.
