"Walking in Balance" is so much more than Leash Walking (but it will help with that, too!)

Seminar Title: Tellington TTouch® Techniques: Walking in Balance with Your Dog
Speaker: Lori Stevens

Seminar Description: TTouch^® is a gentle, positive method of bodywork and movement based on more than three decades of results with dogs,  horses, and many other animals, including zoo animals. TTouch^® is also effectively used with people. TTouch^® provides a powerful set of tools and techniques that improve an animal’s behavior, performance, and health. It also enhances the relationship between animals and their human companions. 

In this 1-day workshop you will be introduced to positive tools and techniques to help you walk more effectively with your dog or your clients' dogs. We will be focusing on: 

- A short introduction to TTouch^®
- What causes leash pulling  
- Body positioning and what it feels/looks like to be in balance: both yours and your dog's 
- Leash techniques and configurations, e.g. communicating more effectively with your dog through a leash
- Equipment: different leashes and a comparison of harnesses -- including information about fit that may surprise you!
- How to influence a change in your walking relationship  
- Balanced movement exercises
- Other tools and techniques for walking with your dog
