TTouch Workshop Day 2

Yesterday we had the second day of the first in-person TTouch workshop in two years. The first pleasant thing was to see that when Balú arrived his tail was not tucked between his legs but out and wagging, albeit a little rapidly and slightly tense. The point is that the difference from last week was [...]

Eyesight

From the day she arrived we thought that Salma’s eyesight was not too good. This perception has been confirmed as time has passed. She sees movement, even at a distance, but static objects present a problem and she may bump into things. How can this be? All our previous beardies have had excellent eyesight and [...]

Eliminating Harness Noise

The other day I took Mimi, our little mini pinscher, to visit Leticia Sánchez-Moral who is a myofascial therapist. During our chat she offered an interesting tip to overcome the reluctance some noise sensitive dogs have to having a harness put on due to the noise that the clip makes when it is closed. I [...]

Listening to the whispers … and then acting on what they tell us!

  In TTouch classes we place great emphasis on Edie Jane Eaton's  concept of listening to the whispers so that our animals do not have to shout to be heard. Some time ago now with my last beardie, Sasha, I had the chance to see how important it is to pay attention to these small [...]

Oxytocin, TTouch, Zoopharmacognosy and Separation Anxiety

Oxytocin is a hormone which acts mainly as a neuromodulator* in the brain.  It evokes feelings of wellbeing, reduces anxiety and promotes tranquillity and a sense of security. This is the reason why oxytocin is believed to play an important role in the inhibition of areas of the brain associated with controlling behaviour e.g. fear [...]

Working with Hypersensitivity

Mimi is a 10 year old mini pinscher who came to us with her mother 5 years ago. Unfortunately her mother is no longer with us. Her mother, Ophie, was a stalwart and fearless little dog  but her daughter is quite the opposite, fearful and hypersensitive and this has increased since losing her mother who [...]

TTouch Tail Pulls

TTouch tail pulls are another excellent way of helping animals release tension in the spine because the stretch and slow release allow the vertebrae to relax and realign. The technique is very simple. Taking the tail in one hand and placing the other on the animal's body to help stabilise, we lean backwards and thus [...]

TTouch Tail Circles

As we know, the tail is an extension of the spinal column and as such is part of the nervous system. Many animals, humans included, tend to accumulate tension in the shoulders and lumbar area so working with the tail can help to release this tension. Tail circles are very simple to do. Taking the [...]
