TTEAM Clinics at The Icelandic Horse Farm

TTouch Foundation / Ongoing Companion Animal Trainings
These 6-day TTouch Trainings give you the opportunity to develop tools to enrich the relationship with your dog or other companion animal. You may be amazed to discover that some habits your pet displays that you have just learned to ignore or work around can be changed through non-violent methods.
Spend 6 days learning how to be with your dog in ways that will help your relationship grow and strengthen. You may discover that the belief "that’s just the way he is" or "he likes to . . ." may not in fact be true. Your dog may indeed be able to change some of the habits you both thought you just had to live with! In fact you may find that making small changes to your ways or attitude is all that is needed.
The TTouch method also addresses more severe issues such as aggression, fear, barking, leash-pulling, and provides techniques to help with the discomforts and difficulties of inevitable aging.
While the clinic will feature work with dogs you will also have the opportunity to work with other animal species. This will expand your knowledge of possibilities inherent in the Tellington TTouch method applied to all animals.
These clinics can stand on their own, if your primary goal is to improve your connection with your dog or cat through use of the Tellington-TTouch, or be counted towards the 2 year Practitioner Certification Program. Visit the Tellington TTouch Canada website for more information on the Practitioner Program. You may bring a dog with you, but it is not necessary for participation. If you are attending with a dog, please bring a water bowl, a bed for him/her to lie on (optional), and anything needed to make your dog more comfortable.
All trainings are 6 days. The Foundation Training can be taken by those who are interested in learning more about the TTouch work and will be counted as Session 1 of the six session, two year Practitioner Training Program if you choose to continue with the program.
