New Workshops in Argentina

The Argentina workshop calendar is beginning to take shape with 3 TTouch events programmed for early December, one in Córdooba and two in Buenos Aires. Looking forward to renewing old acquaintances and making new ones.

Groundwork Sessions Begin

Weekly TTouch groundwork sessions will begin on Saturday July 7th.  They will be held at the Riding Centre in La Reserva (Sotogrande) (See Events Diary).  Don't miss this opportunity to help your dog reach its full potential!

Weekly TTouch Groundwork Sessions

We have a place for our sessions!  TTouch Groundwork sessions will now be held every Saturday morning 10 - 11am.  We will be working indoors so the summer heat will not be a problem. If you would like to refresh your memory on what you learned at an introductory workshop or you are starting from scratch, we look forward to seeing you and your dog.  Just get in touch - www.ttouch1.com.

Exciting Prospect

This morning I visited a space which would be ideal both for doing TTouch groundwork and holding workshops. Over the summer it is too hot to work outside so this would be the perfect solution.  It is now a question of price ...  Fingers crossed!

TTouch in Helsinki, Finland

Some participants at seminar

On May 17, 19 & 20 we held TTouch seminars at the Masseter Dog Training School run by Liisa Tikka in Helsinki, Finland.  This was the second time we had run seminars there and this year's event was equally successful as the first. The first two days were dedicated to an Introduction to Tellington TTouch. The turnout was very good and the group was participative and engaged thoroughly with the work. On the  third day some participants who took part in last year's Introductory course attended the seminar on sensitivity and fears and how we might deal with them from the TTouch point of view.

Open aspect over the Baltic

Walking in the forest

It was a pleasure to return to this beautiful country where Nature is queen. Nature also invades the charming city of Helsinki which overlooks the Baltic.  This seaward orientation strengthens the sense of openness and space. There are not too many capital cities with a population of 500,000!

Some 50 kms. from the capital lies the small town of Porvoo, one of the most ancient settlements in Finland, with its well preserved historic centre and beautiful cathedral dating from the 13th century.

River at Porvoo

There we visited the Nuuskula (www.nuuskula.fi) Dog Training School run by Tiina.  Surrounded by fields and forest this is an ideal place for dogs to learn and practise agility and other disciplines.

TTouch at Dogbil in BIlbao

The one day monographic TTouch seminar on TTouch bodywork was a resounding success.  We had 9 great dogs that provided plenty of opportunity for learning as well as a highly motivated group of participants. María Acha's dog training studio in the heart of Bilbao, right by the River Nervión, was a wonderful light and airy venue. Take a look at Maria's album of the event on www.dogbil.com

Workshop in BIlbao

This Saturday, May 5th. we have a one day workshop in Bilbao which will explore the possibilities of TTouch bodywork.
