TTouch Community Webinar

All Wrapped Up: Simple Body Wraps for Balance, Awareness, and Relaxation
with Robyn Hood

Sunday, March 22: 11 AM PT | 2 PM ET | 7 PM UK | 8 PM Central Europe

Tellington TTouch® Body Wraps are one of the simplest and most powerful tools we use to help support balance, awareness, and nervous system regulation, not only for animals, but for people as well.

In this interactive webinar, Robyn Hood will introduce several easy ways Body Wraps can help anyone feel more connected, more aware of their body, and more grounded in their nervous system. These gentle techniques can support greater coordination, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of safety and calm.

Participants are invited to experience the effects directly as Robyn guides the group through several simple wrapping techniques.

If possible, bring an elastic bandage so you can try the exercises along with us.

This will be a relaxed, experiential session where you can discover how these simple tools can help create greater awareness, balance, and well-being for both people and animals.

✨ Free Facebook Live: TTouch for the Extremities ✨

Join myself and fellow Tellington TTouch Instructor Tina Constance next Monday for a focused session exploring TTouch for the extremities.

In this live, we’ll be working with the mouth, ears, paws and tail—areas with a rich sensory input that can significantly influence the nervous system, posture and overall balance.

We’ll share specific TTouches and considerations for each area, including how working on the extremities can support:
• improved proprioception and body awareness
• increased relaxation and parasympathetic response
• greater ease with handling and husbandry procedures
• release of tension patterns that can influence the whole body

We’ll also discuss how to approach these areas with respect and choice, particularly for dogs who may be sensitive or defensive around contact in these areas.

💛 Free to join

TTouch Community Webinar

Aging with Ease: Supporting Senior Dogs & Cats with TTouch
with Robyn Hood, Linda Tellington-Jones, Tina Constance & Rachel Jackson

Sunday, February 22
11:00 AM Pacific • 2:00 PM Eastern • 7:00 PM UK • 8:00 PM Central Europe

As our animal companions grow older, their needs change — but their desire for comfort, safety, and connection remains the same.

Join Robyn Hood, Linda Tellington-Jones, and TTouch instructors Tina Constance and Rachel Jackson for a gentle and practical exploration of how the Tellington TTouch® Method can support senior dogs and cats in aging with greater ease and dignity.

In this informative session, you’ll learn simple, respectful techniques that can help ease stiffness, support mobility, calm anxiety, and enhance overall well-being — while deepening trust and cooperation.

Whether your companion is just beginning to slow down or navigating the challenges of advanced age, these easy-to-learn tools can help them feel more comfortable, confident, and secure.

In this webinar you will discover:

• Gentle TTouch techniques to support comfort and mobility
• Ways to ease stiffness and support aging joints
• How to reduce anxiety and support emotional balance
• Practical tools to improve cooperation with daily care and handling
• How mindful touch deepens connection and trust in later years

This session offers compassionate, practical guidance for guardians, trainers, veterinary professionals, and anyone supporting aging animals.

Free to attend live via Zoom. TTouch Community members will also receive replay access in the Community library.

Sometimes what we label as behaviour…

Is actually discomfort or pain.

If a dog:
• Avoids being touched
• Snaps during grooming or moves away
• Does not want to sit
• Becomes reactive on lead

We often look at training first.

But what if their body is actually whispering to us?

Small areas of tension
Low-grade joint sensitivity
Subtle asymmetry
Nervous system overload

TTouch works in that grey area —
The space between behaviour and body, because physical and emotional balance are linked.

Prehab allows us to:
✔ Notice early signs
✔ Improve circulation and awareness
✔ Reduce tension before it escalates
✔ Support resilience

When the body feels safer, behaviour often changes. They can breathe and relax.

🌿 What Is Prehab? (And Why It Matters)

We often wait until something goes wrong.

A limp.
A behaviour change.
A reluctance to jump in the car.
A growl during grooming.

But what if we supported the body before it had to shout?

Prehabilitation is about:

✨ Supporting joint awareness
✨ Improving proprioception
✨ Encouraging soft tissue comfort
✨ Helping the nervous system stay regulated

TTouch isn’t just something we use when there’s a problem.

It’s a gentle way to:
• Maintain body awareness
• Reduce compensatory tension
• Support emotional regulation
• Keep communication open

Prehab says:
“I see you. I’m listening. Let’s stay well together.”

Because prevention is quieter… but far more powerful.

Prehabilitation, not rehabilitation – the TTouch® way

We often meet animals after something has gone wrong.
After the injury.
After the tension, reactivity, or loss of confidence.
After the body has already started to compensate.

But Tellington TTouch® invites us to ask a different question 💭
How can we support our animals before they struggle?

On Monday evening, I’m teaming up with Tina Constance again, to give a free Facebook Live exploring prehabilitation. Using gentle, thoughtful TTouch® principles to help animals stay balanced, physically and emotionally, resilient and comfortable, rather than needing rehabilitation later on.

We’ll be talking about:
• Supporting the nervous system, not just the body
• Improving body awareness, balance and coordination
• How small TTouch inputs can support long-term wellbeing
• Practical, kind techniques you can use at home
• Helping animals feel safer and more confident in their bodies

This live is suitable for animals of all ages, from youngsters still developing to seniors needing extra support, and for guardians who want a proactive, compassionate approach to care 💜

I want to wish all my wonderful clients whether Tellington TTouch and /or Veterinary Physiotherapy, 2, 3 and 4 legged the best of Christmas's ever.

Thank you for trusting me with your animals, I love working with each and every one of you, and them. Every one teaches me something new and I love helping each one.

I love these coats! Not only do they have such a cute fleece, but they keep bums and hips warm and necks as well as chests.

On top of that, they cover a lot of the body without any need to handle or flex any limbs. While some dogs are comfortable with limbs being put into leg holes of coats, some dogs aren't. Not only that if they have elbow dysplasia or arthritis for example, each flexion or extension can be painful.

With winter approaching and you bring out your dogs' coats again, please reevaluate them for fit, shape and any manoeverability needed to put it on. Is now time to replace their coat?
