TTouch combines observations and philosophy, bodywork, ground exercises, and equipment to help animals achieve balance in all ways. It’s a way of enhancing communication, cooperation, and harmony without relying on traditional training methods.
Tellington TTouch’s method does not strictly fit into any traditional learning theory quadrant. It doesn’t use the escalation of pressure to create behaviour. Nor does it rely solely on positive reinforcement, although it works well with Clicker training.
TTouch works to show animals what we want and make the steps as small and easy as possible to keep the learning process low-stress and logical.
One of the most versatile aspects of the Tellington TTouch Method is that it is not an “all or nothing approach”.
Our philosophy and attitude are just as meaningful as the specific approach and techniques. Many people find that they can adapt their current program to include the mindfulness and respect that is paramount to the Tellington TTouch Method.
This can result in long-lasting and effective results that build your relationship with any animal you interact with.
The aim is not to just train an animal to a specific cue for obedience, the aim is to help animals learn and begin to have the self-control to act instead of simply re-acting to a stimulus.
Building this self-confidence and self-control means that an animal can adapt and adjust to a variety of situations and settings, even if they have not specifically been exposed to them prior.
We do not use flooding, or encourage “learned helplessness” in animals and the role of the handler is not to be the alpha or dominant one, but rather enhance mutual trust and cooperation for a true partnership.
Whether you work with horses, dogs, other companion animals, or people, the Tellington TTouch Method will shift and expand your way of thinking in all areas of your life.
Discover what this method is really about for yourself; at one of our world-class workshops or at home with some of our many online courses, books and innovative products.
The Tellington TTouch Method is a unique approach to animal training and care developed by internationally known trainer, teacher, and author, Linda Tellington-Jones. Based on understanding and respect for our animal friends, this gentle method promotes well-being and adaptive behaviour through an integrated approach that helps to reduce stress and build confidence. TTouch is more than a form of bodywork, it is an entire way of training, handling, and understanding animals in a positive, non-threatening way.
The Tellington TTouch Method for horses offers a training approach that encourages optimal performance and well-being.
Based on the understanding that behavioural issues are often caused by pain, soreness, fear or tension in the body, TTouch addresses these underlying issues through a combination of Body Work, specific Ground Exercises, and Riding With Awareness along with an overarching respect and consideration for the horse.
Tellington TTouch goes beyond just what you do with your horse and how you do it; it changes how you believe in your horse, and understand them at a deeper level; beyond behaviour and labels.
This low-stress, logical method of dealing with horses seeks to take horses beyond the reflex of instinct, and educate horses how to think and act rather than re-act to the source of concern.

Linda Tellington-Jones, PhD (Hon) created Tellington TTouch® in 1983 to train and care for horses and other animals.
