One-day workshops are an ideal way of learning the basics of TTouch so that you can then go and use it with your own animals. TTouch for Tailwaggers runs regular introductory workshops which focus on the TTouches and bodywork, together with follow-on workshops looking at groundwork and wraps. In addition, we offer occasional full and half day workshops on particular themes including:
- TTouch for Show Dogs
- TTouch for Puppies
- TTouch for Older Dogs
- Coping with Fireworks
Workshops are limited to 6-10 participants depending on venue. The emphasis in a workshop is on hands-on learning in an informal and fun environment. You will have the opportunity to practice with other people and with your own or others’ dogs, so that you will gain practical skills to be able to take away with you. Currently available workshops are listed below, but please ask if there is a topic you are particularly interested in as we are regularly planning new events. Janet is also available by arrangement to run TTouch workshops elsewhere in the North so if you would like to host one close to you, please get in touch.

Workshops are for participants only (no observer places) and attendees are encouraged to bring a dog. However it is possible to participate fully without a dog. Workshops are limited to 10 participants (6 at Carlton) and include refreshments throughout the day but not lunch (please bring a packed lunch). Dogs attending must be able to spend some part of the day in the car and should not be too stressed to be in the company of people and (to some extent) other dogs. Dogs can be worked separately and some work may take place outside (weather permitting) but it may still be too much for very reactive or anxious dogs. Please ask if you are not sure if your dog will be suitable.
