Tellington TTouch Workshop - Bodywork (with Practicum in September) Facilitator: Claudeen McAuliffe, Kindness K9 Behavior Consultants, LLC www.kindnessk9.com Location: BC Dog Training, 920 Turret, Mundelein, IL 60060 Date: September 16 , 2007, 9:00am-1pm CDT Bodywork; 2:00pm - 5:30pm CDT Practicum
7.5 hours
Bodywork Resolve behavior and performance issues, enhance the relationship you share with your companion animal, and create a sense of well-being with Tellington TTouch Bodywork. Simple and easy to learn, TTouch Bodywork is done with gentle circular, sliding and lifting movements of the hands. These movements, which activate balanced brain wave patterns (the "Awakened Mind" state) and reduce levels of stress hormones, promote whole-brain learning, activate unused neural pathways, and work on a cellular level to help animals release dysfunctional emotional states and movement patterns. Tellington TTouch Bodywork is used in veterinary practice to promote healing and rehabilitation.
The Bodywork component of Tellington TTouch also covers body wraps. Wraps apply the concept of maintained pressure to stimulate the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system, decreasing reactivity and promoting calmer behavior and emotional state. Wraps also help support a body into a more symmetrical form, which may result in more balanced and functional movement.
Prerequisite: None. Materials Fee: $39 (collected at event; includes workbook in 3-ring binder, (2) body wraps) Recommended texts for additional insight:

(For both the Bodywork course and the related Practicum, each participant is allowed to bring one animal companion to this course. Primarily canine participants are anticipated. Animal teachers will be available during the class to demonstrate the techniques for you, and you may work with other participants' animals as well, so you are not required to have an animal if your companion will be more comfortable at home.)
PracticumFor those who wish to refine their skills, particularly in the areas of better understanding which TTouches apply to particular situations, the Practicum component of Tellington TTouch provides guided and critiqued hands-on practice. In the second element of the Practicum, participants may have the opportunity to work with dogs other than their own to refine their techniques and observational skills. In the third element of the Practicum, participants will have the opportunity to test their skills as they create a TTouch protocol and give a narrated demonstration to the group. Participants who wish to incorporate TTouch into another area of practice such as massage, grooming or veterinary care are encouraged to fully participate in the Practicum component. The option of observation is available as well for the course dates that this is offered.
Prerequisite: Completion of Tellington TTouch Bodywork component.

Mindful Dog Teaching: Reflections on the Relationships We Share with Our Dogs by Claudeen E. Mc Auliffe, M.Ed. Mindful Dog Teaching is not a book about training; it's about the relationship that needs to be created in order to establish a foundation for effective training. Based on the concept of eros - engagement, relationship, order, stability - Mc Auliffe presents a framework for interacting with our dogs that facilitates our mutual teaching and learning. Through examples and practice exercises, she helps dog owners go beyond simple obedience to develop a deeper connection with their canine companions.
Are thunderstorms and fireworks sending your dog into a panic? In this highly informative book, Claudeen Mc Auliffe explains how noise fears and phobias develop, and describes several methods and techniques which may be helpful for calming dogs who over-react to noise events. Includes references and resources. (26 pgs.)
