🐾 Tellington TTouch® Training Workshop 🐾

We're excited to be hosting Toni Shelbourne for a one-day Tellington TTouch® Training workshop on Saturday 15th August and would love for you to join us!

Tellington TTouch® Training (TTouch) is a gentle, force-free approach to training, handling and rehabilitation that promotes physical, mental and emotional balance. It helps dogs adapt to the world around them with greater confidence and ease, without the use of fear, force or harsh equipment.

TTouch has been successfully used to help dogs with:

✔️ Noise sensitivities and phobias
✔️ Stress and anxiety
✔️ Reactivity and aggression
✔️ Hyperactivity
✔️ Confidence issues
✔️ Handling and grooming concerns
✔️ Lead pulling
✔️ Concentration and performance challenges
✔️ And much more

During this one-day workshop, you'll learn how to observe your dog in a completely different way, recognising subtle postural changes and understanding how these can affect behaviour and performance.

You'll also be introduced to some of the special TTouches® that help release tension from the body, as well as some of the equipment used within the TTouch approach.

📅 10:00am – 4:00pm
💷 Handler space: £75 +VAT
💷 Spectator place: £35 +VAT
📖 Handouts included

This workshop is suitable for dog owners, trainers, behaviourists, veterinary professionals, groomers, dog walkers and anyone interested in learning more about canine behaviour and wellbeing.

Please note: Dogs attending must be comfortable being around other dogs and people and be able to settle quietly. If your dog may find this environment challenging, spectator places are available.

To book your place, email us for more information.

We can't wait to share this fascinating and practical approach with you!

⚠️☀️The weather is going to become extremely hot, especially Wednesday & Thursday this week⚠️☀️
✅We strongly recommend that you DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG OUTSIDE, AWAY FROM HOME during the daytime whilst the heat wave is upon us.
✅Walk your dog at dawn, or late in the evening - but even then please do still take extreme care as the air is still going to be very hot and humid.
✅If your dog is exhibiting signs of heat stroke please drench them all over in cold water ASAP and get them into the shade/indoors/by a fan and then phone your vet for advice.
❎ If you do need to travel with them in the car make it cold with the air conditioning before putting them inside

📋Recent published studies have shown that wetting an animal with water before transporting them to a vets resulted in better outcomes.

⭐️Remember ⭐️

👀Signs of heat stroke

🔹Panting
🔹Brick red gums
🔹Excessive salivation
🔹Restlessness
🔹Collapse
🔹Vomiting
🔹Muscle twitching & seizures

⚠️Things to avoid

❎Never cover your dog in wet towel as it will trap the heat
❎Don't let your dog play with the hose pipe or water sprinkling systems as they may ingest too much water - This can cause water toxicity.
❎If your dog is struggling to breathe do not attempt to put anything (liquid or otherwise) into their mouths. We have seen terrible advice circulating online which recommends using lemon juice to help break down saliva. This does not work and is also extremely unpleasant for the dog!

If your pet loves exploring the garden, it’s worth knowing about some hazards.

- Pesticides and w**d killers can be highly toxic, so keep pets away when using them.
- Slug pellets should be stored securely and only used where pets and other wildlife can not reach them; they can be deadly if eaten.
- Compost bins, piles of leaves and grass cuttings can contain harmful bacteria and mould when they rot, so make sure you're clearing your garden waste into a secure bin.
- Grass seeds can become lodged in your pet's skin, ears or eyes. As they're so small, they can move through the body's tissues, causing your pet serious inflammation or infection.
- Lots of toxic flowers begin to bloom in spring. Keep these plants and bulbs in areas your pet can't access. Or, if you can, avoid them altogether.
