READY FOR SOMETHING NEW? The TTouch Method will help you effectively manage the companions in your care. I use a very gentle basic obeidence course and the TTouch Method, a unique way of working with your animal, that combines body work, special equipment and leading exercises. Combining bentle basic obeidence with the TTouch Method creates and environment that encourages your animal’s greatest potential to surface. This Method works equally well on large or small animals; cats, dogs, pocket pets, horses, goats, cows and it even works on humans. I  graduated from a two year training program for the TTouch Method in 1999 as a Tellington TTouch Practitioner. I am currently a Practitioner in training for the Equine (TTEAM) Practitioner Program and have also begun training with Tallgrass Animal Acupressure in Colorado. I have assisted at many TTouch Trainings with Linda Tellington Jones, Robin Hood, Edie Jane Eaton, Debbie Potts and Kathy Cascade. My desire to learn effective yet gentle ways to train dogs led me to participate in several other educational programs with Carol Gurney, Patricia McConnell, Sue Sternburg, Trish King and others. All of these components and a lifelong love and respect for animals, has given me an eclectic style of training that is very effective.
