โจ๏ธ Want to learn about TTouch?
I'm looking forward to this TTouch Taster evening with Canine Support with Katharine Brunsch next Thursday the 13th of August, 7-9pm at West Buckland Village Hall ๐ถ
Last few spaces available.
๐พ Calm Enough to Think ๐พ
TTouch Taster Evening - Supporting the Body & Mind of Active Dogs ๐ถ
Sometimes an activity begins long before our dog enters the ring, starts the trail or takes their turn.
They recognise the car park, hear other dogs, spot the equipmentโand their anticipation begins to rise.
That excitement can be a wonderful part of doing something they love. But if excitement, worry or stimulation becomes too much, it can be harder for them to process information, stay connected and make thoughtful choices.
This isnโt necessarily disobedience or a need for more training. Sometimes a dog simply needs help to feel settled enough to think and learn.
And it isnโt only our dogs who may feel the anticipation. We might arrive with butterflies, excitement or nerves of our ownโespecially before a competition or event that matters to us. Our breathing, posture and movement may change, and our dogs can notice those small differences.
Taking a moment to settle ourselves can help us offer the clear, steady support our dogs need. ๐ฟ
Calm doesnโt mean switched off.
We donโt want to take away our dogsโ joy or enthusiasm. We simply want to help them remain comfortable, connected and calm enough to think. ๐
Tellington TTouchยฎ offers gentle ways to support body awareness, reduce tension and help dogs return to a more balanced state.
At the upcoming TTouch Taster Evening, weโll explore practical ideas that may help before an activity, while waiting for a turn and afterwards. Youโll also learn a simple TTouch Heart Hug to use for yourself, supporting both ends of the lead.
