Tellington TTouch

PROUD TO BE WIRRAL’S FIRST TELLINGTON TTOUCH PRACTITIONER – GLYNIS STEWART

TTouch is a specialised training and handling method for animals (and sometimes people) developed by our very own Trendy pooches directors.
It focuses on:

  • Gentle bodywork – circular touches, lifts, and strokes that reduce tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.
  • Groundwork exercises – slow, mindful movements and leading patterns that build confidence and improve balance.
  • Mind-body connection – helping animals (especially dogs and horses) feel safe, calm, and more aware of their bodies.


For dogs, TTouch is often used to:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety during grooming, vet visits, or new experiences
  • Help nervous, reactive, or fearful dogs feel more relaxed
  • Improve posture, gait, and overall wellbeing
  • Build trust between the dog and handler

It aligns beautifully with our holistic and fear-free ethos at Trendy Pooches — since it’s all about gentle, cooperative care rather than force.
