Well Balanced Animals

SiInce Amaya has had a toe removed earlier this year, things have been harder for her to do - some things she has stopped doing totally. She is less balanced and feels unsteady, which has a knock on effect to her emotionally, her confidence has taken a hit, she is less willing to try new things, yet she is still up for all the fun things she used to do, dancing around at walk time, or if we are going to do an activity that she loves..

This is only one of the reasons I love TTouch and having the skills that I have. I am able to support her physically and emotionally with feeling comfortable and confident in her everyday life. This is what TTouch enables is to do. Listen to the little changes that are happening for our wonderful dogs, the days when it takes them a bit longer to get up, or they don't want to walk as far. They seem quieter, different.

Then you wonder if there’s something more you could be doing to help them feel better.
✨ This is where TTouch can be such a positive, but highly effective, gentle support.
It works by:
• Helping the body release tension
• Supporting the nervous system
• Improving comfort and body awareness
So your dog can feel more relaxed, and more like themselves again 💛
If you have a senior dog and want to support them gently and effectively, message me.

Sighthounds feel everything, and hold more tension than you think.

They’re sensitive.
They’re intuitive.
And often they carry stress quietly in their bodies.
It can be hard to see, but you can get a sense of the tension.

With sighthounds, I often see:
→ subtle tension
→ sensitivity to touch
→ difficulty fully relaxing
→ they go quiet and turn in on themselves

✨ TTouch works beautifully for them because it’s slow, gentle, and respectful of their sensitivity.

It helps them:
• Feel safer in their body
• Release tension patterns
• Truly switch off and relax

If you have a sighthound, you’ll understand this 💛 message me if you’d like help for you and your sighthound x

Helping your senior dog feel comfortable again… without pushing them emotionally or physically.

You may start to notice the little changes…
They take a bit longer to get up.
They don’t want to walk as far.
They have stopped jumping into the car easily, or onto the settee.
They just seem different, quieter.

You wonder if there’s something more you could be doing to help them feel better.

✨ This is where TTouch can be such a positive, but highly effective, gentle support.
It works by:
• Helping the body release tension
• Supporting the nervous system
• Improving comfort and body awareness

So your dog can feel more relaxed, move more freely and more like themselves again 💛

TTouch Community Webinar

All Wrapped Up: Simple Body Wraps for Balance, Awareness, and Relaxation
with Robyn Hood

Sunday, March 22: 11 AM PT | 2 PM ET | 7 PM UK | 8 PM Central Europe

Tellington TTouch® Body Wraps are one of the simplest and most powerful tools we use to help support balance, awareness, and nervous system regulation, not only for animals, but for people as well.

In this interactive webinar, Robyn Hood will introduce several easy ways Body Wraps can help anyone feel more connected, more aware of their body, and more grounded in their nervous system. These gentle techniques can support greater coordination, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of safety and calm.

Participants are invited to experience the effects directly as Robyn guides the group through several simple wrapping techniques.

If possible, bring an elastic bandage so you can try the exercises along with us.

This will be a relaxed, experiential session where you can discover how these simple tools can help create greater awareness, balance, and well-being for both people and animals.

✨ Free Facebook Live: TTouch for the Extremities ✨

Join myself and fellow Tellington TTouch Instructor Tina Constance next Monday for a focused session exploring TTouch for the extremities.

In this live, we’ll be working with the mouth, ears, paws and tail—areas with a rich sensory input that can significantly influence the nervous system, posture and overall balance.

We’ll share specific TTouches and considerations for each area, including how working on the extremities can support:
• improved proprioception and body awareness
• increased relaxation and parasympathetic response
• greater ease with handling and husbandry procedures
• release of tension patterns that can influence the whole body

We’ll also discuss how to approach these areas with respect and choice, particularly for dogs who may be sensitive or defensive around contact in these areas.

💛 Free to join
📅 Monday evening, 7.30pm on Well Balanced Animals page
📍 Live on Facebook

We’d love to share this with you.
