The weekend workshop will cover the principles and basic skills of hands-on and movement work. We will put these TTouch techniques into practice in addressing the specific needs of the dogs that are present, which may include reactivity, barking, fearfulness, inappropriate behaviours, apparent inability to learn, etc.. 

 

On the second day we will add another layer of precision and detail to the skills and information. We will also observe and hear how the work of the previous day might have influenced the dogs, and explore what further work would be appropriate.

The third day will be spent clarifying and confirming the skills that were learned on the weekend and adding others - those that were not covered on the weekend, and others considered more advanced. The intention is that you will leave with a solid understanding of the basic techniques of TTouch, and and idea of when and how to apply them.

It is not required that you bring a dog. If you would like help with your dog, do bring him or her.  If you come alone you will learn just as much - and can take TTouch skills back to animals you chose to leave at home. Contact Helen if you have questions about the curriculum or if you are concerned about whether or not you should bring your dog.
