Workshops - TTouch for Companion Animals
Tellington TTouch is a stress-free way of working with all animals to help them feel and behave better through a process that restores physical vitality, mental focus and emotional balance.
TTouch workshops may be designed with particular interests in mind, such as those for cats, rabbits or even reptiles. The most common workshops focus primarily on dogs, and address their behaviour, health, and general well being, or can focus on specific demands associated with working, competition or sport.
Many of the trainings listed in the calendar are part of the international Tellington Training Professional Certification Program. The content of a Foundation Training 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 course, although it is not required.
The curriculum will include both TTouch (bodywork) and - for dogs - Confidence Course (groundwork) techniques, and give you skills for working with animals in kind, clear, safe, and effective ways. 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. We will also discuss the principles behind TTouch, so that you can become creative in problem-solving.
Participants at TTouch workshops speak of seeing with new eyes, developing new insights into how animals learn, discovering more successful ways of coping with difficulties, and - best of all - coming away knowing that they can make a difference in the lives of animals.
Please contact me if you are interested in hosting a workshop.
Workshops with Edie Jane are listed below. Some are Certification trainings, which are open to newcomers to the work who want to learn TTouch skills for themselves, and to those already enrolled in the Practitioner Certification Program. The joint Introductory Foundation and Ongoing Practitioner Trainings held in eastern Canada are listed further down this page.

One-day and Weekend Workshops with Companion Animals with Lucie Leclerc
Contact: Edie Jane 819-790-8670 or ediejane@listeningtowhispers.com or learn more about these workshops.
Lucie Leclerc's third birthday gift request of a real horse, with a stable for it in the backyard of their suburban home, was a foreshadowing of her desire to be with animals. She did not get the horse, but after a bit of negotiation with her parents she brought home feral cats and lost dogs instead. She has shared her life with animals ever since.
She heard about Tellington TTouch at a time when she was looking for an effective method to help one of her dogs with a health issue. She read a book about TTouch and after attending her first training saw that the method was as good in practice as on paper. The teachers were indeed ‘walking their talk’ and the non-judgmental learning process she experienced as a student and observed in the work with animals is carried on in her own teaching. Lucie’s passion is looking for solutions and possibilities instead of problems - for animals and people. She relishes seeing animals blossom towards their full potential, and she loves finding ways to help people truly connect with their animals through TTouch and the understanding of the positive influence that balance - physical, mental and emotional - has on every being.
Lucie teaches TTouch and TTEAM across the continent, and as our only French-speaking Instructor brings the work to Francophones in Quebec.
