Like many other dog owners I struggle with finding methods to change our dog’s undesirable behaviors and habits. I’ve tried obedience class after obedience class and have had great success with those classes, but have never been able to stop or tone down the amount of whining from my very lovable and hyper lab. That is until now.
Recently my dog Chico and I had a great opportunity to attend a session called Tellington TTouch. Our session was performed by Lisa Sellman of Aloha Pet Care & Dog Training. Lisa was able to find Chico’s "sweet spots" which were his gums and under his nose. By using T-Touch methods he was able to relax and he just melted at Lisa’s feet. Lisa was also able to pinpoint some areas of Chico’s body which were more tense than others. By using T-Touch she was able to relieve some of those tense muscles to make him relax a little more. In just a few hours following our session I’ve seen my hyper 3 year old black lab go from a whinny, go, go, go dog to a quiet, calm, relaxed dog. I have to tell you how great it feels to be able to be home and not have a tennis ball in my lap every minute of the day.
Tellington TTouch or T-Touch for short is a method based on circular movements of the fingers and hands all over the body. The intent of the TTouch is to activate the function of the cells and awaken cellular intelligence—a little like "turning on the electric lights of the body."
The TTouch is done on the entire body, and each circular TTouch is complete within itself. Therefore it is not necessary to understand anatomy to be successful in speeding up the healing of injuries or ailments, or changing undesirable habits or behavior.
The Tellington TTouch can help in cases of:
• Excessive Barking and Chewing
• Leash Pulling
• Jumping Up
• Aggressive Behavior
• Extreme Fear and Shyness
• Resistance to Grooming
• Excitability and Nervousness
• Car Sickness
• Problems Associated With Aging
If you are experiencing any of the above behaviors or your dog has an undesirable habit or behavior you would like to change, I highly recommend giving T-Touch a try.
