These three excellent and empowering courses, from Janet Finlay, one of the leading UK TTouch practitioners, are designed to help you to help any dog when they are anxious or reacting in the face of other dogs, people, vehicles and the world at large. Whether it’s wind or motorbikes; cats or thunder; dogs on the lead – or running free, these courses will help you to help the dog to gain confidence and begin to relax in anxiety inducing situations.
There are three courses available:
The TTouch taster and TTouch confidence course, both major on what you can do to help your dog towards greater confidence. Your End of the Lead addresses anxieties and tension at both ends of the lead and gives you strategies for both yourself and your dog.

What people are saying about the TTouch Taster:
Just a note to let you know how much I am enjoying your 5-lesson TTouch videos [course]. I’m on Lesson 2 and am already amazed at how much information you pack into a short time period. I find your videos extremely well thought out, they are accessible and clear and, because your presentation is so organized, I find things are landing in a way that sticks with me.Carole Orr, Canada
Thank you Janet for this wonderful taster on how TTouch works. I have really enjoyed it and I am interested on any other courses you have. Thank you! Karen P.
What people are saying about the full TTouch course
Brilliant course, thank you. I have a reactive dog, who I was desperate to get help for and TTouch seemed the best way to do this. The online course suited my lifestyle. The video demonstrations are excellent: you can see exactly how to do the touches. I really enjoyed the course and found it was paced and set out very well. I liked the fact that there were alternatives for things to do if your dog was not agreeable for any reason with a particular touch. The whole course has been a Godsend for my dog. She is so much more relaxed now although we still have a bit of work to do. Diane Self
I have so enjoyed this course. I have learnt so much. All my dogs love it especially my Yorkie. Thank you Janet. Gloria Davies
