Workshops - TTouch for Companion Animals
Tellington TTouch Training is a gentle way of working with all animals, to help them feel and behave better! Clinics may be designed with particular interests in mind, such as workshops specific for cats, rabbits or even reptiles, for example. The most common workshops focus primarily on dogs, and address their behavior and well being.
Many of the trainings listed in the calendar are part of the international Tellington Training Professional Certification Program. The content of the program’s Foundation Trainings covers the basics of the work and its principles. Although it is the first course in the Certification Program, it is designed also for those simply wanting skills to work with their own animals, and for those who already work professionally with animals and want to add to their expertise.
What to expect from a workshop or training
The workshops and trainings offer a lot of hands-on practice, and help with your own animal if you bring one. It is expected that the majority of participants will want to bring a dog (or cat) to the training, although it is not required.
You will learn how to observe the many - sometimes very subtle - ways that animals let us know how they feel about what we do with them. This helps us to determine the most effective ways of helping them.
The course will cover many TTouch techniques, helping you to develop skills in working with animals in ways that are kind, clear, safe, and effective, and which help to restore the physical, mental (focus) and emotional balance of the animal. We will also discuss the principles behind TTouch, so that you can become creative in problem-solving.
Most of all you will have fun, in good company!

Robyn Hood
Robyn Hood has been riding horses since before she could walk. She went through Pony Club and showed as a junior competitor in Alberta. She later attended and then instructed at the Pacific Coast School of Horsemanship in California owned by her sister Linda Tellington-Jones. Robyn competed successfully in hunter, jumper, three-day eventing, endurance, western events and more recently in gaited horses.
In 1982 Robyn became involved full-time with the TTEAM and TTouch work which was developed by her sister Linda. For the past 17 years she has been the editor of the TTEAM Newsletter. Since 1986 she has been teaching TTEAM and TTouch on a full-time basis in Canada, the US, Europe and Australia and spends about 160 days a year traveling. Robyn has given demonstrations and lectures at various venues including Spruce Meadows; Equitana USA and Germany; Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan; International Humane Society Conference in Vienna and Murdoch University in Perth.
Besides teaching TTEAM and TTouch on the road and at her farm in Vernon, BC, she and her husband have been importing and breeding Icelandic horses since 1976. In addition to their Icelandic herd which numbers around 120, they also share their farm with their daughter Mandy and son Jesse, three cats, two dogs, three turtles and a very talented parrot named Frances.
