Tellington TTouch™ Bodywork
Presented by: Claudeen E. Mc Auliffe
November 22, 2008 - 1PM to 5:30PM
Class Outline | About Claudeen

Narnia Pet Behavior and Training, Inc. is proud to host the Tellington TTouch™ Bodywork Class presented by The Animal Spirit Network. Resolve behavior and performance issues, enhance the relationship you share with your companion animal, and create a sense of well-being with Tellington TTouch™ Bodywork. Simple and easy to learn, TTouch™ Bodywork is done with gentle circular, sliding and lifting movements of the hands. These movements, which activate balanced brain wave patterns (the "Awakened Mind" state) and reduce levels of stress hormones, promote whole-brain learning, activate unused neural pathways, and work on a cellular level to help animals release dysfunctional emotional states and movement patterns. Tellington TTouch™ Bodywork is used in veterinary practice to promote healing and rehabilitation.

Tellington TTouch™ Groundwork
Presented by: Claudeen E. Mc Auliffe
November 23, 2008 - 9AM to 5:30PM
Class Outline | About Claudeen

Narnia Pet Behavior and Training, Inc. is proud to host the Tellington TTouch™ Groundwork Class presented by The Animal Spirit Network. A sense of achievement builds a dog's confidence just as it does a human's. Tellington TTouch™ Groundwork in the Confidence Course develops awareness and confidence as animals work slowly and deliberately through a series of tasks resembling the obstacles on a confidence course. The work enhances focus and concentration, allows behavior patterns such as aggression and timidity to be overcome, and improves physical and mental balance. The Labyrinth , a hallmark of the Tellington TTouch™ method, improves mobility, coordination, cooperation and balance as the dog and human in partnership negotiate a series of serpentine turns.

For registration information, please visit www.animalspiritnetwork.com or contact Carol Schultz at Carol@animalspiritnetwork.com or 815-254-8325.
