According to the media, February is the month of love, but our pets consider every month the month of love! We don't buy them candy and flowers. Instead we give them love. They return the love with unconditional love. Some animals need to learn to trust first before they are comfortable giving us love. An easy way to teach animals trust is with Tellington TTouch®.
TTouch® can change animals' lives for the better and definitely affect people too. My life was profoundly changed with TTouch® as I saw the affect on Boomer, our dog who was afraid of vets. The impact was so great, I changed my career. And TTouch® can change your life too in small ways!
TTouch® builds trust through cooperation and mutual respect to all living beings. Anyone can learn it. The language of TTouch® is the mindful touches done with your hands to your cat, dog, guinea pig, or best friend. Did you know you can help a pet with excessive vocalization, car sickness, fears, mobility issues, and so much more?
I have so many stories to share about clients and their pets. A client calmed her dog on a walk after a 1-1/2 hour class. Another client attended a class with her whining dog and went home with a quiet dog. Recently I help a dog with her fear of cameras!
In less than 5 minutes, you can help your pet with TTouch® too. To begin, sit with your pet and give them your full attention. Slowly exhale to settle yourself. Now very gently, slowly stroke your hand down their back and the entire body. If they move away let them go. Slowly stroke their body with your hand lightly touching theirs. You just showed you pet how much you love them. And they will ask for more.
To learn more about TTouch®, you may want to take a class (see below) or have a private session. Please call or email me with any questions. We can make your pets happier pets.
Take care,
Elaine
