animals in touch: TTouch Sessions and Fees

What is the Tellington TTouch® Method?

Tellington TTouch®

is a method of working with animals that has proven effective in reducing stress, fear, aggression and anxiety; as well as modify behavior, increase flexibility and—when combined with veterinarian care—aid in recovery. The approach is gentle yet systematic and helps animals to better cope with different and novel situations. It improves confidence, focus and learning.

With the use of gentle touches, body wraps and groundwork (a variety of exercises with equipment) we engage and calm the animal's nervous system as well as teach the animal to move in non-habitual ways. Since an animal that is stressed or anxious cannot learn, the incorporation of TTouch® allows me to aid an animal (in my case dogs, cats, birds and rabbits) by teaching them how to relax. The animal can then focus on learning new ways of coping with situations in which he previously reacted with fear, concern or anxiety.

Another terrific benefit of TTouch® is that it provides the guardian with the tools to engage with their animal in ways that are non-threatening—establishing or deepened the trust between them. As part of a TTouch® session you will learn how to use wraps and perform bodywork.

This service could be incorporated into a training session with your dog or as a TTouch® only session.

As a certified Tellington TTouch® practitioner for Companion Animals I offer TTouch® sessions for dogs, cats, rabbits and birds. After we make contact I will interview you briefly by phone to learn more about your animal and the situation you need help with.

If I feel that I can be of help, we will meet in your home for a 60-minute consultation, during which time I will learn in great detail about your pet's behavior, medical history, and diet—as well as about your specific goals.

Depending on your personal goals and the kind of behavior(s) that we are dealing with, I will give you my assessment of the best method for accomplishing your goals and my best estimate about the number of sessions that will be required.

Subsequent TTouch® sessions are 45 min.long.

Private Sessions:

Please Note: Before we begin training, I will give you my best estimate of how many sessions I will need to reach your training goals. In order for us to work together to reach those goals, I ask that you commit to (and pay in advance for) an agreed-upon number of sessions. Since I can only work with a limited number of clients at a time (so many dogs, so little time!), it is important that you and I both commit to seeing our training plan through.

48 hrs. grace period for 1^st incident with no charge. After 1st incident, client will be charged for the session missed at the set session fee rate.

Payment and Class Cancellation Policy:

Payment is due in full when reserving a spot in a class or workshop.
