thanks for any help
Has anyone heard of ttouch and if there is a pratitioner in Zurich. I am training up at the moment and am doing my 3rd course in march and Im wandering how well known it is in Switzewrland
Well it is a very nice watch - my OH loves his.
For a practitioner near you, contact:
TTouch is very well known in Switzerland; considered a standard must-have in your training toolbox.
I've been doing it nigh on 20 years, albeit only with my own dogs - I'm not a practitioner, not by a long shot. I'm self-taught, having first worked through Linda Tellington's book (which almost turned me off to the whole idea - I'm not one for the airy-fairy-ness of 'cell memory', but that's another discussion...)
I now much prefer Sarah Fischer's books - they are more practical, hands-on and I think more useful for the average owner whose dog has 'ishoos'.
I particularly like the use of ground work, and body/anxiety wrapping - I've found these most helpful when dealing with some of my ASBO hounds.
Good luck with your coursework!
IIRC, last time I contacted the TTouch group here the were few practitioners who worked in English. This was a good 5 years ago, though. Once you have completed your coursework, you may find a market as an english-speaking practitioner...
(Too bad the Powers That Be own our content, otherwise I'd post my 'Great Moments in TTouch' comedy photos... )
