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 and assistants. 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.

To reserve your place on any of these workshops, please Contact Us. Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment. Note: a non-refundable deposit of £20 will be required to reserve a place. Rescue place vouchers can be used to book a place for any of these workshops. Please quote your voucher code when you book.

Current and Forthcoming TTouch Workshops


25th July 2009: Addressing common dog problems (including noise sensitivity) using TTouch

Instructor: Janet Finlay P1
Venue: Our Lady's Church Hall Cornlands Road, Acomb York Y024 3AE
Time: 10.00-16.00
This workshop will give an introduction to TTouch and will focus on addressing the specific problems of interest to participants, including, for example, noise and firework sensitivity, touch sensitivity, pulling on the lead, fearfulness, excitability.
£45 per person (with or without a dog) including refreshments and course notes but not lunch. Two people from the same family with a single dog can attend for the special rate of £60.

Workshops are for participants only (no observers) and attendees are encouraged to bring a dog. However it is possible to participate fully without a dog. Workshops are limited to 10 participants 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.
