New Zealand TTEAM and TTouch Tour - March 2010

Through TTouch, dogs are better able to develop self-control and self-confidence - the lack of which underlies most undesirable behaviours and interferes with the ability to learn.

TTouch was developed by internationally recognized animal expert, Linda Tellington-Jones, PhD (Hon). Based on cooperation and respect, this method offers a positive approach to training. It combines bodywork and ground exercises to improve co-ordination and balance.

Good physical balance positively influences emotional and mental states, helping animals to be calmer, and improving their ability to focus. It can improve performance and health and presents solutions to common behavioural and physical problems.

It also helps establish a deeper rapport between humans and animals through increased understanding and more effective communication.

The Tellington TTouch can help in cases of:
* Excessive Barking and Chewing
* Leash Pulling
* Jumping Up
* Aggressive Behavior
* Extreme Fear and Shyness
* Resistance to Grooming
* Excitability and Nervousness
* Car Sickness
* Problems Associated With Ageing

Edie Jane will be demonstrating TTouch bodywork and groundwork techniques, and will speak about the principles underlying the work - which allow one to be creative in problem-solving. Although this is not a hands-on event, participants will go home with several simple yet very effective techniques to practice.

The workshop will offer a lot of hands-on practice with TTouch bodywork and groundwork techniques.
