7.5 hours
A sense of achievement builds a dog's confidence just as it does a human's. Tellington TTouch Groundwork in the Confidence Course develops awareness and confidence as animals work slowly and deliberate through a series of tasks resembling the obstacles on a confidence course. The work enhances focus and concentration, allows behavior patterns such as aggression and timidity to be overcome, and improves physical and mental balance. The Labyrinth , a hallmark of the Tellington TTouch method, improves mobility, coordination, cooperation and balance as the dog and human in partnership negotiate a series of serpentine turns.
An important part of the Groundwork component of Tellington TTouch involves working with the human to achieve a balanced and supple physical frame. Equipment used with dogs in the Confidence Course, such as headcollars, harnesses, and the double-ended leash, is demonstrated in depth.
Prerequisite: Completion of Tellington TTouch Bodywork component. Materials fee: $25. (collected at event, includes workbook in 3-ring binder) Recommended texts for additional insight:

(For the Groundwork course, participants can register to bring a dog, or can participate without a dog present. 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.)

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.)
