Learn To Observe Dogs

In this training you will learn to observe your dog and how they are communicating with you. You will also learn about freework and how to use it to observe dogs and help them to relax and to build their confidence and optimism

Learn Bodywork

Gentle circular touches (imagine a clock face) that activate both sides of the brain, reducing stress and increasing body awareness. These aren't massages – they're messages that help dogs think rather than simply react.

Learn Leading Exercises

Specialised groundwork that improves balance, co-ordination, and emotional regulation. As posture changes, behaviour naturally follows. The use of the 2-point harness, the harmony leash, and the connector can be game-changing to teaching dogs (and owners) the importance of loose lead walking.

Equipment In TTouch

Learn about the different pieces of equipment including, labyrinths, harnesses, leads, etc. to help support our canine companions. The two-point Tellington TTouch harness, along with harmony leashes and connectors, are game-changing when it comes to stopping leash pulling.
