What an amazing day! ✨
We were so lucky to spend the day learning with the wonderful Hazel Ralston, Tellington TTouch Practitioner, and what a day it was!
It was incredible to see Tellington TTouch working its magic — not only with the dogs, but with the humans too. By the end of the day, everyone was wrapped up, relaxed and taking the time to simply be.
We saw some truly lovely changes throughout the day:
🐾 Dogs who initially barked at each other eventually settled and were lying peacefully, even falling asleep alongside one another.
🐾 Dogs who previously couldn't tolerate having their paws touched were able to allow their paws to be handled through choice and consent.
🐾 The groundwork exercises demonstrated just how important balance is, and how using two points of contact on a harness can help bring the body back into balance and encourage more mindful movement.
🐾 The labyrinths encouraged the dogs to slow down, think about where they were placing their feet and move with greater awareness rather than simply rushing through.
One of the biggest things we took away from the day was that every part of the body is connected, and the whole body needs to be in balance.
At the heart of Tellington TTouch are some incredibly important principles:
Awareness • Softness • Choice • Consent
By reducing tension and allowing the dog to have more choice and control, we can help to build trust, confidence and a greater sense of security.
It was wonderful to watch both dogs and humans relax, learn and connect throughout the day. 💕
A huge thank you to Hazel for sharing her knowledge, experience and passion with us. It was a truly special day, and we can't wait to continue learning and developing our TTouch journey. 🐾
