On July 20, 2024, we attended a great workshop with Aiden: Tellington TTouch for dogs! Highly recommended for all dog owners. The Workshop was given by Tellington TTouch Practitioner Saskia Blok. After a theoretical explanation of this method, she took us into the world of TTouch and explained and demonstrated various basic techniques. What is Tellington TTouch? This is a method to help animals with behavioural problems or physical complaints or even help with the upbringing. The founder of this method is Linda Tellington-Jones and she developed this technique in the 1970s. The method uses bodywork, groundwork and tools where you really work on relaxation, better posture and balance. Today we got acquainted with the different touches, which have been given very appropriate animal names or related to animals, such as Noah's March, Clouded Leopard and Llama TTouch!

Last Wednesday we went to the Knowledge Tour of the Raad van Beheer. The topic: Help the overstimulated dog. The lecture was given by Monique Bladder and Erica Bokelmann. The topic was overstimulation in dogs. When are we talking about overstimulation and especially when is it something else than overstimulationt? Dogs are often called overstimulated, but there are really big nuances in this and not every dog is overstimulated. It was an interesting lecture and we learned a lot from it!
