Had an amazing weekend of more learning from the wonderful Jo Pay meaning I can help even more puppies and their guardians get the best start. Learning more from the wonderful Victoria Stilwell meaning I can support even more dogs who really struggle with their environment and their guardians (Reactivity).

Also wonderful to be with amazing like minded people, colleagues and friends who want the same thing - to help support guardians and all the amazing dogs we possibly can, bringing them together, building on relationships, teaching and sharing the best science backed positive, kind and ethical information so they can thrive ❤️🐾

Did you know that young children are more likely to be bitten by a dog than any other population group? 🐕

Children communicate very differently from adults, and dogs can find it hard to understand them. They can be unsure how to make it known when they want to be left alone.

So, it’s important to teach children how to interact safely with dogs.

Calm Through the Storm: Simple TTouch Strategies for Fireworks, Thunderstorms, and Startling Events

Summer can bring many challenges for our animal companions. Fireworks, thunderstorms, and other sudden noises can leave animals feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and unable to recover easily from the experience.

Join Robyn Hood as she shares a practical Tellington TTouch® approach to helping animals become better equipped to cope with startling events before they happen. Rather than focusing only on managing fear in the moment, we'll explore simple ways to support balance, confidence, body awareness, and emotional resilience so animals can stay more relaxed and recover more quickly when faced with unexpected stress.

In this webinar you'll learn:

• Simple TTouch techniques to support relaxation and emotional balance
• How body wraps can help animals feel more grounded and secure
• Ways to prepare before fireworks season or summer thunderstorms arrive
• Practical tools to support recovery after a frightening experience
• How small changes can help animals move from reacting to thinking and coping

Whether you share your life with dogs or other animals, you'll leave with easy-to-use strategies that can make a meaningful difference during stressful summer events.

As always, the live session is free to attend and a recording will be available in the TTouch Community Library afterward at www.ttou.ch

To join the recording live, sign up here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I4wTJjV0TpS9L5Rli_fphw
