What is The Tellington Method?
The Tellington Method for horses is called TTEAM, the Tellington TTouch Equine Awareness Method. It is called TTouch when working with companion animals. This work combines bodywork and ground exercises, to resolve a variety of health issues and behavioral issues. The TTouches give the animal a new body experience on a cellular level, releasing old pains and unproductive habitual patterns. The ground exercises build confidence, enhance coordination and increase the ability to learn. This allows the animals to learn without provoking typical fear responses. They can move beyond instinct, to act rather than react, to learn new and more appropriate behaviors. Animals learn to listen by developing self-control rather than out of fear. By using the TTouch Method, you help enhance the animal's self-confidence, which will lessen the need for aggressive or fearful behavior, release tension and increase body awareness and balance. The ground exercises are on a Confidence Course, comprised of obstacles including labyrinths, platforms, poles and much more. It addresses health issues by stimulating the immune system and helps alleviate pain. All animals can benefit from TTouch. The technique was first developed for horses and has since been proven effective for numerous species of animals, including zoo and marine animals.
