TTouch Body Wraps & Chromotherapy

Thanks to my friend and TTouch colleague in Switzerland, Lisa Leicht, I am the proud owner of a set of TTouch wraps dyed to the colours of the six major chakras:  red, orange, yellow, green, blue and magenta. Over the past few weeks, I have been doing an experiment with Salma using the coloured TTouch [...]

A Positive Learning Experience

After a couple of unfortunate incidents with a neighbour’s dog, Salma has been wary about unknown dogs approaching her. Today, she had a positive learning experience! As we parked to start our walk, from the car parked alongside emerged an Englishman man who lives in Madrid with a young vizsla. The man asked whether they [...]

Weaving is Fun!

Another of Salma’s favourite activities is weaving through the slalom poles. They are not set at the reglamentary distance for agility because my aim here is just to make the activity fun while promoting suppleness through the body bending to both right and left. She weaves both on and off lead and enjoys doing it [...]

Emergency Measures

Sometimes things we do with the best of intentions turn into a problematic situation. When the little feral cat turned up on our doorstep in the midst of torrential rain, providing her with food and shelter seemed like the right thing to do. The consequences of this decision have been far-reaching. Then she had her [...]

Arena, Abscesses & Limp

Those of you who have been following my journey with the two horses who are abandoned at our place may remember that they are not at all happy to be touched. This, of course, poses major challenges and has been a source of concern. From time to time, Arena, the mare, has been limping but, [...]

Gold Star for Salma!

Today Salma definitely earned a gold star! A major challenge for her is going into an urban environment because she finds it overstimulating and therefore becomes overexcited. I am sure this is also exacerbated by her poor vision under certain circumstances. We have been working at home doing TTouch groundwork with slalom, poles, labyrinth, ramp [...]

Salma’s Learning Journey with the Ramp and Seesaw

Being used to Sasha who climbed up his ramp to the grooming table without a second thought, it brought me up short when Salma simply refused to even step on it. This reminded me that Sasha had been doing simple agility from puppyhood and accepted doing all kinds of strange things as part of normal [...]

What makes it all worthwhile

At the end of a one day workshop, particularly one on a topic such as reactivity which evokes so many emotions, it is a gift to hear a participant say that she is leaving with hope because she saw improvements in her dog throughout the day, and she could see that he was much calmer [...]

Myotherapy

Last Saturday Salma had a myotherapy treatment with Leticia Sánchez del Moral. Salma loved it. She really did lean into the work, allowing skin rolling and the treatment of various parts of the body. Leticia confirmed what I had already noticed with TTouch observation. There were a couple of hot spots in the cervical area [...]
